Roofs are often subject to the rule that “if they’re out of sight then they’re out of mind”. Unfortunately, this can set off a chain reaction of roof problems which may result in roof failure. In the case of an industrial or healthcare facility, you do inspect and keep your equipment in good condition. So why do you tend to neglect the part of the building that forms the first line of defense? By putting into place a roof asset management program, you will be able not only to prepare for any necessary repairs but also to plan for the eventual replacement of your roof.
The usual practice in the roofing industry is to have your roof inspected twice each year. For this inspection, a qualified and professional roof consultant must carry out a comprehensive and detailed examination. The consultant will check your roofing system to spot any possible future leaks and other problems. He or she will give an impartial analysis and suggest cost-effective methods for correcting existing leaks as well as fixing the roof problems that led to them. The roof consultant also makes use of the most up-to-date technology to locate potential issues and to provide options for preventing them.
Modify your business plan so that your roof system is viewed as an asset requiring a program to keep it in optimal condition. It makes sense to hire a roof consultant to carry out a thorough, final and honest assessment of your roof assets. A proactive roof management program offers several long-term benefits, such as:
- Extending the useful life of your roofs
- Reducing future roof issues
- Lowering potential liabilities
- Controlling your roof asset spending
- Protecting warranties
- Lowering your capital costs
- Planning for roof replacement
- Reducing energy costs
