Roof preventive maintenance keeps your roof in great shape and prevents any existing roof problems from growing until costly repairs are needed. Preventive maintenance (PM) extends your roof’s lifespan, so you don’t have to invest in a new roof system before you’re ready to do so. Let’s look at the importance of preventive maintenance and how a PM program is more effective than major roof repairs in the long run.
What Does a Preventive Maintenance Program Include?
When you enter into a preventive maintenance program with your roofing contractor, they’ll work with you to develop a preventive maintenance plan for your roof’s specific needs. This process includes scheduling preventive maintenance inspections once or twice a year and creating preventive maintenance checklists. These checklists include the maintenance tasks performed during regular inspections, so each roof technician performs the same tasks. This keeps your roof in excellent shape while meeting its specific needs to ensure your building is safe.
What Happens When You Don’t Use a PM Program?
The purpose of preventive maintenance is to keep your roof in consistently good shape over long periods of time. When you don’t use a PM program or have a PM plan in place, your roof starts to develop problems, including leaks, ice dams, and broken flashings. As these problems build up and grow worse, they create unsafe working conditions in your commercial building. Those unsafe conditions can lead to unplanned downtime for your business and costly repairs to return your roof to a safe condition.
What Benefits Do PM Programs Provide?
When you enter into a PM program with your roofing contractor, you pay a consistent flat fee for these maintenance services. This service structure allows your contractor to fix many small problems over time. That way, your maintenance costs are much lower than your repair costs would be if you didn’t use preventive maintenance. Overall, a PM program benefits your roof by improving and maintaining its condition while lowering your long-term roof maintenance costs.
