Roofing

Flat roofing requires a distinct set of maintenance steps than does sloped roofing. Often this is simply because of the size and scope of a flat roof on a commercial or industrial building. In this article, we would like to look at frequent inspections and preventative maintenance as a means of preventing your flat roof from falling into a premature state of disrepair. If you don’t have a maintenance, repair, or emergency plan in place, it’s time to start thinking ahead.

Inspections

A flat roof on a commercial or industrial building should be inspected at the very least once a year – although 2-4 times is ideal. A trained maintenance worker can spot minor problems before they turn into major ones. Look for things like cracks, failed fasteners, or buckling. Even a small undetected crack could allow a leak that causes extensive damage to the interior of your business.

Some maintenance staff are specifically trained in roof safety and the OSHA regulations. Those who are not trained should always turn to a professional roofing contractor for assistance.

Debris

One of the worst problems flat roofing has to battle against is debris. Strong Texas winds and other inclement weather situations can break branches which end up on your roof. Clear debris as soon as possible, and sweep fine debris away gently with a broom so it doesn’t build up allowing roots or plants to start growing on top of your building.

Coatings

The right coating or sealant can ensure your flat roof remains waterproof for years. We offer brands such as:

  • Triton
  • Topcoat®
  • Karnak

The benefits of adding a coat such as Topcoat® extend even to energy savings in the summer when the Texas heat beats down on your flat roofing.
