Do you live in fear of the phone calls that seem to inevitably accompany every spring and summer rain storm? Facility owners and managers who wait for a budget surplus or an upturn in the economy before replacing a failing roof might think they’re making prudent business decisions. Unfortunately, nothing could be could be further from the truth.
Don’t Risk It!
A facility manager or owner who depends on their building maintenance crew to inspect the roof can be in for a heap of trouble. To the untrained eye, the roof appear to be perfectly acceptable. However, every rainstorm brings more and more water seepage, unknowingly destroying the roof’s insulation, damaging the roof structure and injuring building content. The other problem with relying on a building crew for commercial roof maintenance is two-fold. Not only are they unlikely to have the proper tools and materials to correctly repair the roof, a commercial roof warranty may be invalidated when maintenance and repairs are conducted by anyone but a professional commercial roofing company, like TLC Pro Roofing.
Ignoring Roof Problems Won’t Make Them Go Away
Ignoring or “soft-pedaling” commercial roofing leaks and repair needs is a lot like playing the roulette wheel: the odds are definitely not stacked in your favor. A roof that’s been recovered, coated, patched, re-patched and patched yet again opens the door to extreme risk of costly property damage for your employees or tenants - and ultimately you.
Crunch the Numbers
Are you increasingly issuing roof work orders after a storm? To determine whether a new commercial roof is needed for your facility — crunch a few numbers. Write down the cost of a new roof and then divide that number by expected roof life, which is typically 15 – 20 years. Then, write down the annual costs of roof repairs, and add that number to the annual cost of interior leak-related repairs and the replacement costs of damaged equipment and inventory. For many, the cost of the new roof is actually less than the other costs - especially when you factor in the risk for interior property damage!
