Flat Roof Maintenance Tips

roofing contractors Centennial CO

Flat roofs need to be periodically examined in terms of aspect and aging status, evaluating their lifespan or the need for repairs. Maintenance can be provided on request by the company that installed the roof, or, if we speak of normal operating conditions and ensuring regular maintenance, these things are in the charge of the roof owner.

All insulated surfaces against infiltration have a warranty period, during which the manufacturer of the materials guarantees for non-degradable products that have been subjected to laboratory tests and fulfill the purpose for which they were manufactured; the installer of these materials has the best interest to create a result that will last at least as long as stated in the warranty. However, in order to extend the service life and prevent possible roof degradation, we recommend that you follow some simple rules that come in your best interest:

·        Have flat roofing contractors Centennial CO pros complete annual check-ups of your roof`s surface and drainage system. Check for any vulnerability or problem and make sure it is fixed quickly.

·        Do not perform any work on the roof that could cause mechanical, thermal or chemical damage to the waterproofing membrane.

·        In winter, avoid direct circulation on the roof to clear snow; because of the low temperature, the membrane becomes more rigid and may be damaged more easily.

·        Do not store on the roof objects that are way too heavy for its structure, or equipment that produces strong vibrations.
