The roof is one of the essential elements of any industrial or commercial building. Regardless of the type of roofing, maintenance helps preserve its functionality and optimize the building’s energy performance.
Consequences of a lack of roof maintenance
Roof coverings are the only protection against weather and climate challenges, so ensuring waterproofing is paramount.
A poorly maintained roof can lead to significant waterproofing issues, impacting the building’s protection, longevity, and safety. Neglecting roof maintenance can result, for example, in debris and vegetation accumulating in rainwater drainage systems.
With clogged drains, water cannot flow properly, leading to pooling on the roof. Untreated waterproofing defects can cause considerable damage, such as water infiltration and leaks.
Over time, these issues can damage the insulation and frame and, in extreme cases, the building’s structure, resulting in operational losses and extensive repair work.
Maintenance is essential !
Roof maintenance is not optional, it’s essential. A minimum of one annual maintenance check is required. In the event of damage, an insurer may refuse to cover losses if a lack of maintenance is found.
This exclusion also applies during the ten-year warranty period if defects render the roof unfit for its intended use.
Maintenance procedure
To ensure the integrity and longevity of roofs treated with our waterproofing or cool roofing solutions, we offer thorough maintenance services.
These maintenance tasks include a general inspection of visible parts. We review standard surfaces, rainwater downspouts, waterproofing flashings, parapets, and more.
Once the roof inspection is completed, the covering is cleaned using high-pressure cleaners and, if necessary, restored to retain its technical properties.
A comprehensive inspection report is provided, detailing the roof’s condition before and after our intervention and offering a precise diagnosis.
