Roof leaks are a pesky, but often inevitable, component of roof asset management. These leaks, no matter how minor, can become exacerbated over time, frequently leading to reactive maintenance that comes with a hefty price tag. The team at Building Technology Associates (BTA) knows that building owners and facility managers thrive on informed decisionmaking and careful budget planning that unpredictable leaks often throw a wrench in. BTA’s advanced leak tracking and reporting system, BTA+ RoofLeak, seeks to meet this challenge head-on by creating a path to proactive, detailed, and cost-effective approaches to tackling roof leaks.
The Challenge of Reactive Maintenance
Roofs are too often considered “out of sight, out of mind,” with maintenance only performed when damage has become impossible to ignore. The issue with this type of reactive maintenance is that what may have started as a singular piece of damaged material or small leak can lead to rapid deterioration, water damage, or even compromised structural integrity. Repairs that could have been swift and cost-effective in the beginning worsen over time, invisible to the naked eye in many cases. As a result, required maintenance may be much more intensive, and roofing materials may have to be replaced rather than simply repaired. This in turn means that remediation of roof leaks can come with unplanned expenses and potential non-compliance fines depending on your roof’s warranty.
BTA+ RoofLeak: A Proactive Approach to Leaks
Comprehensive roof asset management is the surest way to ensure that roof leaks, no matter their severity, can be managed quickly without breaking the bank. BTA’s RoofLeak program provides a centralized leak assessment portal to avoid missed details, delayed repairs, or incomplete records, all able to be accessed directly from your cellphone.
Users are able to submit a leak report with just a few taps on their screen, as well as upload pictures of the area of concern and provide specific location details for contractor use. This creates a comprehensive digital record for every leak event including necessary repair timelines, documentation of any follow-up actions, and big-picture analytics to help identify any recurring patterns in your roofing system. In short, RoofLeak takes the uncertainty out of roof leaks, and gives you the ability to make informed decisions about what repairs are necessary and when maintenance should be performed.
This proactive approach to roof leaks leads to long-term benefits for owners and facility managers. Rather than costly replacements, RoofLeak allows you to plan and budget for necessary repairs in advance, including any necessary business downtime that may be required. Additionally, this platform keeps you on track with inspections and regulatory compliance, ensuring that your roofing system remains healthy throughout its service life, thus saving thousands of dollars in reactive replacement costs.
While leaks may be an inevitable reality, RoofLeak makes responding to them easier than ever before. Having complete oversight, documentation, and decisionmaking power within your fingertips allows for careful maintenance planning and comprehensive management of your entire roofing system. With RoofLeak, you have access to the tools you need to respond to leaks faster, keep more accurate records, and plan more strategically for your future roofing needs.
