The life span of a roofing system can be extended with proper maintenance. It is important to make sure all membranes, sealant, caulking, flashings, and penetrations are in good condition and to fix any problem before they begin to leak. Preventative maintenance programs can prevent small deficiencies from growing into costly leaks, interior damage, and early replacement. Proactive annual or semi annual inspections can catch small deficiencies, control a roofing budget, and lower overall roofing costs while extending your roof systems life.
