Proactive maintenance helps identify potential problem-causing areas, thus decreasing life-cycle costs. According to data gathered in a 15-year alliance between Firestone Building Products and ProLogis, a global provider of distribution facilities, with a proactive maintenance schedule in place, the average life-cycle cost is 14 cents per square foot. The average reactive maintenance life-cycle costs are 25 cents per square foot. a roofing system with proactive maintenance can have an average roof life of 21 years compared to 13 years with a reactive maintenance program, depending on the roofing system and building type. 

Setting up a proactive maintenance schedule should be based on the environmental conditions surrounding the building. Working with you as the building owner’s regarding the target roof life goal, we can set up a proactive maintenance and service schedule on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual or bi-annual basis. We also recommend maintenance checks be done immediately after severe storms involving high winds, heavy snowfalls, hail and downpours. 

Areas subjected to high foot traffic, drainage areas and details such as pitch pockets, metal coping joints and edge flashing at gutters would receive special attention during periodic inspections.

Many manufacturers’ warranties typically define periodic inspections and maintenance as “owner responsibilities.” These responsibilities can include items such as a limited time frame in which to notify the manufacturer of any leaks, payment of non-warranted repairs, providing roof access and the removal of overburdens on the system.

Not all types of damage to the roofing system are covered by a manufacturer’s warranty. Cuts and punctures are typically not covered by standard warranties. Many incidents occur during construction when other trade installers (HVAC or other items) are working on the roof.You as the building owner should insist that a protective layer is laid down over the roofing system before work by other trades begins. And do not to take on maintenance on your own by using non-specified materials to seal and patch leaks themselves, unless it is an emergency to protect property. Often, “temporary fixes” will end up costing them more in the future it by doing it yourself incorrectly, it may void the warranty.
