Just like your car needs routine inspection and maintenance, oil changes, etc., your roof needs regular inspection and maintenance to perform at its best as well.
If you don’t have your oil changed your car begins to perform badly. It loses power and ultimately the engine will seize and quit working.
Failing to routinely maintain your roofing system has the same disastrous result. Leaks develop, seams split, and eventually a wholescale catastrophic failure is almost inevitable.
Why risk it? Yoder’s Roofing offers custom-tailored maintenance programs, perfect to meet your business needs.
Benefits of Inspection/Maintenance of your Commercial Roofing System
Regular inspection and maintenance of your roofing system offers a LOT of benefits, besides the obvious.
Longer Roof Lifespan. Statistics estimate that regularly maintained roofs last 30% or more longer than roofs that are not. When you consider the cost in both time and money of a full-roof replacement, an extra 7 years or more is a great investment!
Effective Warranties. Your roof warranty is going to require regular inspections and maintenance to remain in full force.
Insurance Assistance. If you ever need to file a damage claim on your roof, the ability to prove routine inspections and maintenance are a part of your roof management will eliminate the risk of a “contributory negligence” denial. Additionally, the photos associated with the inspection will establish a firm timeline for the occurrence of the damage.
Cost Savings. It is much less expensive to have small repairs made as needed, than to wait for a big problem to develop.
Time Savings. With a scheduled plan in place, there is no need to calendar a reminder to have that roof inspected and maintenance done. We will manage it all on your behalf.
When Should Your Roof be Inspected?
We recommend a regular, scheduled inspection every year. For those companies without a budget to support annual inspections, we also offer a 2-year or 5-year option.
However, annual is better. Your annual inspection is best completed in either the Spring (after the heavy winter weather) or in the Autumn (in preparation for the upcoming winter weather).
Additionally, we recommend an inspection after any severe weather occurrence. Heavy hail, unusually high winds and even torrential downpours can all cause roof system damage. With a limited timeframe to file an insurance claim, you do not want to overlook unseen damage and risk losing the ability to have it fixed by your insurance carrier.
What is Included in a Maintenance Program?
Each of our programs are custom-tailored to fit the needs and budget of that specific client. However, a general overview would include:
- Scheduled Inspection – every year, 2-years, or 5-years, depending on need.
- Inspection report including photos and explanations of any deficiency identified.
- Reduced rate on needed repairs.
- Cleaning and debris removal after each scheduled inspection.
- Hail Damage Inspections – as needed.
