Caring For Your Commercial Roof

Posted by Roofing on February 4th, 2020

The Roof Over Your Business

The roof of your commercial property provides a solid structure between you and the elements. Sure, the building may not be where you live, but your business needs the same love and care a home would.

Taking care of your roof should be one of your top workplace maintenance priorities. Essential Vertec Sydney roof maintenance between regular roofing inspections will ensure the roof lasts longer and continues to keep your business safe. We've put together a list of critical roof maintenance that you can apply to your commercial building today. 

Take A Look 

It doesn't matter if your roofing materials are shingles, metal, tile, or clay; it's essential to keep an eye on the condition of your roof and the elements that hold it together. Check up on your business's roof as much as possible, especially after high winds or a storm. If it's not safe to climb up onto a ladder to have a look, grab a pair of binoculars to check for any potential issues. When inspecting your roof, yourself, keep an eye out for:

  • Broken shingles
  • Missing shingles
  • Cracked materials
  • Peeling flashing
  • Missing Granules
  • Bent materials

If you do spot any of these potential roofing problems, call on a professional roofing contractor to safely make the necessary repairs. 

Clear Gutters

The gutters are the troughs around a roof that collect rain and stormwater to properly drain it away from the roof of your commercial building. Often, channels become clogged up with leaves, dirt, and debris. Clean gutters stop the water from essentially draining, and the roofing system breaks down. Though it's not the most decent job, clearing out your commercial building's gutters is a vital part of properly maintaining the roof.
