The goal of a proactive preventative maintenance program is to extend the life of your roof, thereby reducing the total cost over the life cycle of your building. In addition to routine maintenance, annual visual inspections by your Regional Technical Manager will examine the critical areas of your roof that are most vulnerable to water penetration.
When maintenance is neglected, the financial consequences can be significant. Many building owners and managers focus only on the expense of maintenance, but when a roof leaks, the costs multiply quickly.
For example, in a manufacturing plant, a leak can damage machinery and force a production line to shut down. In an office environment, computers can be damaged and work interrupted. In a school or hospital situation, classes and critical work could be affected by roof leaks.
Most significant of all, the costs of inspection and minor repair are inexpensive compared to the consequences of roof replacement. In general, if you are consistent with a proactive preventative maintenance program, you will spend less on repairs, energy loss, insurance premiums, etc. Your current roof system should also last longer, thus maximising investment and protecting your assets.
Preventative maintenance translates directly into pounds - pounds that don’t have to be spent on major repairs or a new roof. Fewer problems. Longer life. Reduced costs.
