Flat roof maintenance differs significantly from pitched roofs. Understanding unique requirements prevents expensive premature failures.
Drainage Critical
Flat roofs actually have slight slope for drainage. Ensure drains remain clear and functional.
Membrane Inspection
Check for tears, blisters, and separating seams. Early detection prevents leaks.
Ponding Water
Water standing 48+ hours indicates drainage problems. Address ponding immediately.
Debris Removal
Regular debris clearing prevents drain blockages and membrane damage. Schedule quarterly minimum.
Penetration Seals
HVAC units, vents, and pipes create vulnerability points. Inspect seals regularly.
Coating Systems
Reflective coatings extend membrane life and reduce energy costs. Recoating every 5-10 years recommended.
Documentation
Maintain detailed maintenance records. Documentation supports warranty claims and helps plan replacements.
Commercial Maintenance Programs
Our commercial maintenance programs provide scheduled service and priority emergency response.
