Preventative Roofing Maintenance
Preventative Roofing Maintenance Programs
How well a roof performs over time depends not only on the quality
of installation but also on how well a roof is maintained. An
experienced roofing
contractor, Houck Specialty Contractors offers preventative
roofing maintenance programs designed to extend the life of your
facility and prevent future problems. Houck follows four basic
steps on every preventative roofing maintenance project:
Historical Record
When hired to serve as a roofing contractor, one of the first things Houck will do is develop a historical record outlining the construction history and current condition of your entire roofing system and related accessories. Historical record may include:
- Roof construction specifications including previous manufacturer
- Location of penetrations, rooftop equipment, and any roofing changes
- Any previous roofing problems and corrective actions
- Previous maintenance history
- A record of applicable warranties
Roof Survey
As part of our preventative maintenance work, Houck will next conduct a comprehensive inspection of your roof system and related accessories. Our trained roofing contractor staff will identify early problems for corrections and areas of concern including:
- Overall appearance
- Alterations/contiguous construction
- Roofing membrane construction
- Expansion joints and seams
- Flashing, facias, and roof edgings
- Drains, pitch pans, and stacks
- Parapet walls and copings
Infrared roofing scans are also available as part of our roof maintenance services.
Written Report
Based on your roof survey, Houck will devise a written report outlining the following:
- Roofing condition review
- Remedial action proposal
- Maintenance, repair, and replacement schedule
- Short- and long-term projections
Routine Maintenance
As part of your preventative roofing maintenance program, Houck will handle the following routine maintenance:
- Removal of foreign debris
- Cleanout of roof drains, scuppers, and gutters
- Addition or redistribution of ballast
- Reattachment and/or sealing of counterflashings
Houck will repair all roof system deficiencies including roof leaks, defective seams, deteriorated base/wall flashings, loose metal, etc.
All inspections, maintenance, and repairs will be made during normal business hours unless otherwise requested.
