How to Take Care of your Flat Roof
Preparing for the Canadian Seasons
Once your flat roof is installed or replaced, you will want to ensure the most out of your investment and have it last the longest. Canadian weather can be particularly harsh with baking-hot summers and ice-cold winters with thunderstorms and snowstorms taking a potential toll on your commercial flat roof. That is why it is important to schedule regular check-ups and maintenance which can elongate the lifespan of your flat roof.
Over and above identifying prevailing problems in your flat roof with an inspection, a reliable roofing contractor can help prolong the lifespan of your flat roof through regular maintenance and preventive measures.
Flat Roof Maintenance
The different seasons cause a whole host of stresses on your flat roof. During the winter, an extreme snow or ice storm can lead to heavy snow and ice on your flat roof, which needs to be cleared. During the other seasons, debris, vegetations, and leaves can accumulate on your roof, not only weighing it down but also potentially clogging the drainage system. Because of this, water may pool up and eventually find its way to a weak spot in the roofing system, causing a leak. It is necessary to clear the roof of all unwanted accumulation during the various seasons.
If it has been a while since your flat roof was inspected or maintained, it is high time you get it done before it is too late and costly repairs are needed. To learn more about how NorthCan will support you for this, contact us today!
Flat Roof Inspection
We always recommend that it is better to schedule an inspection before the onset of the extreme weather and before the change of the seasons. The time before the shift in seasons is useful to catch any existing damages which could be made worse by the harsh weather. For example, during the fall season, you would want to check for any weaknesses in the roofing system which could be made worse by the burden of winter snow on it.
Similarly, at the end of winter, it is advisable to check if there are tears or cracks in the membrane, which could lead to a major issue when the spring rains begin or when all the ice and snow begin to melt. It is better to catch small problems with a flat roof inspection and nip them in the bud before they snowball into a serious issue.
