An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, as they say, and this could not be more true when it comes to residential and commercial roofing. By investing in preventative roof maintenance, you can head off serious roofing issues, prolong the lifespan of your roof and save lots of money in the long run.
Here are some examples of why roofing maintenance is important:
Prolong the Roof’s Lifespan
Sticking to a maintenance program can prolong the lifespan of your roof. Nowadays, most asphalt shingle roofing systems are expected to last around 20 years. Without maintenance, however, your roof may fail before that point. This means you won’t get as much value out of your roofing investment.
Avoid Structural Damage
If your roof is leaking, it will lead to rusting of steel and rotting of wood. Compromised structural materials can cause the premature deterioration or failure of your entire structure, which results in costly repair work or even premature replacement. By staying on top of roof maintenance, you’ll be able to identify and address minor roofing issues before they worsen and cause more costly damage.
Protect Building Interior
The roof is responsible for protecting the interior of the structure from the elements. If roof leaks are left untreated, water could drip down on expensive business materials such as computers or a server rack. Make sure you avoid this costly scenario by keeping your roof leak-free with regular maintenance.
