Flat Roof Maintenance

Proper maintenance extends the life of your flat roof

Biannual Inspections

Have your flat roof professionally inspected at least twice a year (spring and fall) to identify and address issues early.

Keep Surface Clean

Regularly remove debris, leaves, and dirt that can trap moisture and cause deterioration of roofing materials.

Ensure Proper Drainage

Keep drains, scuppers, and gutters clear to prevent water ponding, which can lead to leaks and structural issues.

Trim Overhanging Branches

Keep trees trimmed back to prevent damage from falling branches and reduce debris accumulation.

Address Repairs Promptly

Fix minor issues immediately before they develop into major problems that require extensive repairs.

Professional Maintenance Plan

Consider a professional maintenance plan for regular inspections and preventative care.
