For facility managers and building owners getting back to work; now is the time to inspect and make sure your roof held up while you were gone. Here are some tips for what to look for.

TOP RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SAFE, PROACTIVE ROOF MAINTENANCE
If you’re looking for ways to extend the watertight life of your commercial roof:

• Inspect from the inside-out. First look for evidence of roof leaks from the inside of your building. Stained ceiling tiles and puddled water are obvious signs of water intrusion potentially from roof leaks. Check for, and mitigate, these leaks ASAP through the help of an experienced roofing technician.

• Look for the most common anomalies first. Perform a walk-around on your flat roof surface and check penetrations and seams for signs of apparent damage. These areas are your most likely sources of water intrusion.

• Remove debris. It’s likely you have an accumulation of sticks, branches, leaves and other debris on the roof in need of removal, especially if it’s been a few months since you’ve been on the roof. Pay attention to gutters and downspouts that need unclogged to assure rainwater freely moves and drains off the roof.

• Schedule a professional inspection. Call us at 586-354-0641.

Annual roof maintenance will save the life of your roof. Here are some tips.

Tree limbs. Make sure tree limbs don’t touch a roof. If they do, they can easily scrape over the shingles and loosen the protective granules. This will severely reduce the life of a roof. Trim trees close to the house to avoid any limbs touching the roof surface.

Leaves and pine needles. A little leaf or a few pine needles are fine, but if they collect and are deep enough to hold moisture, they need to be taken off the roof. Anything that traps moisture will cause mildew to form, block gutters, or cause extra weight on the roof. A rake or air blower can be used to clear the roof, but take care not to damage the shingles.

Moss. Cutting back trees and removing leaves will reduce moss growth, as it will allow sunlight to dry up the moisture that moss thrives on. While there are chemicals available on the market to get rid of moss, the runoff can cause damage to plants. Another solution is to nail zinc or copper strips to the ridgeline; as rain washes across, it creates an environment where moss cannot grow.

Mold. Discolored streaks on a roof indicate there is mold, algae, or fungus, which can eat away at the roofing material and, ultimately, cause leaks. A treatment of chlorine bleach or copper sulfate solution applied with a garden sprayer can kill the mold. Do not power wash shingles! It can dislodge granules and cause premature shingle failure.

Gutter damage. Heavy snow from the winter season can result in gutter damage while leftover fall leaves and debris can lead to clogged gutters. Before the springtime rain, check to make sure water can flow easily through the gutters and fix any loose nails that are preventing the gutters from sitting tightly along the roof line.

Missing shingles, chimney, and flashing. A complete inspection by a a qualified roofing contractor, like Allard Keller Roofing Construction Co., can uncover issues with missing shingles, chimney damage, or flashing around chimneys, vents, or other bends in the roof.

Dealing with these potential issues in a timely manner will allow your roof to stand strong through the next season of weather challenges—and for many years to come.
