Preventive Maintenance

Winter season is here in Southern Ontario. Colder weather, winter freezes and snow can lead to serious roof damage, especially when precautions aren’t taken beforehand. To help minimize roof-related issues during the colder months, consider these effective measures from a trusted roof repair contractor. Roof Inspections Roof inspections are integral in preparation for winter storms and heavy snowfalls in Southern Ontario. Protect your building’s assets by understanding the current health of your roof system. Our team of roof auditors will perform a comprehensive inspection and provide you with an extensive report on your roof’s current condition with detailed recommendations. During a roof inspection, our team will check seals for any cracking, damage, or loose roofing materials. Immediate repair of these findings will help avoid any mold formation and water, which can cause substantial roof damage. Snow Removal Plan A snow removal plan is important in maintaining flat commercial roofs in Southern Ontario. Identify areas that are prone to drifting snow and ice accumulation and pay special attention to them during the winter season. If snow is left to accumulate on the roof, it can melt during the day and re-freeze in the evening, which is commonly referred to as the freeze/thaw cycle. After this cycle takes place, the snow will develop into layers of ice and become far more difficult to remove. Additionally, the layers will bear weight on the roof, which can cause considerable damage. During the freeze/thaw cycle, water can seep into cracks and crevices in the roofing membrane and then freeze.

A flat roof is a large investment. Protecting that investment is an important measure that will extend the life expectancy of a flat roofing system. Roofing systems are susceptible to weathering (snow, ice, water, heat) expansion, contraction and wear and tear.  It is not uncommon for leaks to occur over time due to these and other factors. Triumph has been an industry leader for over 30 years for roof repairs, preventative maintenance, and other roofing emergencies. Here are 5 reasons why flat roof preventative maintenance is necessary: As the owner of an industrial, commercial, multi commercial or multi residential building, you are responsible for maintaining a safe environment for everyone who uses the building. This includes ensuring that the flat roof is in a safe and compliant condition. When the roof of a building is neglected, minor damage can become larger issues. Leaks may lead to water damage, water damage can lead to mold and mildew, and holes in the roof may invite pests indoors. This may require you to replace large sections of your commercial or industrial flat roof. Conducting inspections at least twice a year or immediately after a storm identifies early damage. Without inspections, minor issues may lead to graver (and expensive) structural damage. Proper preventative maintenance on your commercial or industrial flat roof is imperative to both your budget and the roof’s overall lifecycle. To maximize your investment, we recommend hiring an experienced, highly skilled, and well-reviewed commercial or industrial roofing company, like Triumph Roofing to perform flat roof maintenance.
