Learning the basics of roof repair and maintenance will do you a world of good by helping you to save money on more costly roof upkeep. As a home or business owner, regular roof maintenance can preserve the integrity of a roof and may even help you to troubleshoot ordinary issues before they become serious.
The Importance of Roof Maintenance
Even a commercial building owned by the federal government, the largest building owner in the US, isn’t exempt from roof repair and maintenance.
The federal government revealed that the average government building roof was expected to last less than five years before a leak was detected; federal government building roofs required replacement at eight years on average.14
Without the proper care and maintenance, a roof is likely to fail prematurely for the following reasons:
- Poor Workmanship – 47%
- Poor Design – 16%
- Faulty Materials/Weathering – 9%
- Trapped Moisture/Mechanical Damage – 8%
- Roof Traffic – 3%
