Surviving the Winter Season
Roof inspections are centered around surviving winter. We recommend that when performing roof inspections, you schedule them before and after winter. Late fall and early spring are when we recommend they be performed. Late fall allows you to prepare for winter and make necessary repairs. Early spring allows you to make repairs to any areas that may have been damaged by the winter weather. Cold temperatures, the weight of snow, and extreme weather are all dangerous for your roof; winter brings all of these. Inspections before and after the cold season will allow you to survive it for years to come.
Eliminating Major Issues
You’ll never completely eliminate roofing problems, ever. Roof leaks and issues are just a fact of facility management. What you can do is mitigate the issues. Performing roof inspections twice each year will catch almost every issue that arises in it’s infancy. If you then move on to make the repairs quickly, you can expect to eliminate the bulk of the large roofing issues. Performing roof inspections regularly will lead to fewer large repairs, saving time and extending the life of your roof.
Conclusion
Roof inspections are very important to extending the life of your roof. We recommend everyone inspect their roof twice per year as a way to get the most out of your roof. Contact us today for more info regarding roof inspections.
