    About Us

    Inspect Your Roof Regularly

    It is important to inspect your roof regularly. You should look for any signs of damage, such as leaks, cracks, or holes. If you see any damage, it is important to have it repaired as soon as possible. We recommend conducting a formal roof inspection once per year when your roof is unobstructed, as well as informal inspections after severe weather.

    Keep Your Roof Clean

    It is important to keep your roof clean. Debris, such as leaves and branches, can accumulate on your roof and cause damage. Make sure to remove any debris from your roof on a regular basis. A vital part of owning a flat roof is regularly cleaning and maintaining it to prevent leaks or other structural damage.

    Fix any Leaks Immediately

    If you see any leaks in your roof, it is important to have them repaired as soon as possible. Leaks can cause serious damage to your roof and lead to expensive repairs. If you don’t fix water leaks immediately, mold could start growing in your home and put your family’s health at risk.

    Keep Gutters and Drains Clean

    It is important to keep your gutters and drains clean. Clogged gutters can cause water to pool on your roof, which can damage the roofing material. Make sure to clean your gutters and drains regularly to prevent this from happening. Water pressure from clogged gutters, made worse by rainfall, can cause leaks and overflows. This water damage will affect your walls, building foundation, and potentially pull gutters away from your roof.

    Replace Your Roof if Necessary

    If your roof is more than 20 years old, it is important to have it inspected by a professional. If they determine that your roof needs to be replaced, make sure to do so as soon as possible. A new roof will protect your home or business from the elements and help you save money on energy. Because flat roofs are prone to tearing and holes, it’s important to check along any seams or joins in the roofing material regularly. If the damage is severe, then you’ll likely need a new roof entirely.
