Maintaining a Flat Roof

Although a flat roof is a simple design, it needs maintenance. It is prone to rot from condensation buildup and dormant debris, among other damage. Maintaining a flat roof is much cheaper than replacing a damaged roof. With regular inspection and cleaning, you can extend the life of your flat roof.

Regular Inspection

It's best to have your roof inspected at least three times a year to avoid significant problems down the road. More inspections may be necessary if the area is heavily wooded or if you experience a wet winter or spring. The inspections will show signs of damage before conditions get out of hand. We are flat roof experts.

Keeping your Rain Gutters Clean

Since moisture from rain and snow will be allowed to sit on the flat roof, it's vital to ensure you keep your gutters clear; this will allow for drainage and help minimize the damage caused by sitting water. You should also check the roof after heavy snowfalls to ensure that snow or ice is not blocking any drain outlets. Hire C & I Roofing Co. professionals to inspect your gutters and roof.

Maintaining a Spanish Tile Roof

Maintaining a Spanish tile roof is more straightforward than one might think; they are durable roofs that don't require much maintenance and can last for many years. We suggest a yearly or even semi-yearly to ensure that the roof will remain in good repair before it becomes a considerable expense. C & I Roofing Co. is a commercial tile roofing specialist.

Visual Inspection

A visual inspection of the roof should occur twice a year, or after any major storm, to identify replacement needs for any broken or cracked tile. If your roof has been compromised in any way, it can lead to leaks that can create even further damage. A walkaround can help you identify potential issues for your roof. The most common are branches brushing or even lying on the tiles. Note these so that you can remember to trim them back when you are on the roof. Even the most minor branches in a high wind can crack or break a tile. Protect your investment by choosing C & I Roofing Co. to correct damaged tiles.

To the Roof

The next step will take you to the top of the roof. Using a good ladder, climb up and look at the tiles. Take a broom with you for this initial inspection. If you find any leaves or other debris on the tiles, sweep them off so you can see the tiles better and allow them to stay, which can lead to mold, moss, or even tile damage as more debris gets caught up and packed in.

 

If you live in a wetter climate or have many large trees that shade your home, watch for mold and moss growing on the tiles. You must remove this immediately to keep your tiles looking beautiful. Mold and moss can stain the tiles and cause underlying problems if allowed to sit.

 

Using a bleach and water solution that is 1 part bleach to 4 parts water and a good still scrub brush will get any dark streaks off your roof quite efficiently. You must thoroughly rinse the roof when you are done and not slip since the bleach can make tiles slick.

 

If you have a pressure washer, your job is much easier than scrubbing. Simply washing the tiles with this can get almost all the dirt and filth off your roof in minutes. The bleach solution is still a good idea to assist with stains.
