Learn MoreRegular preventative and general maintenance is essential for the upkeep of all commercial roofing systems. Even though your roof may be out of sight and out of mind, Austin Roofing & Waterproofing offers a comprehensive portfolio management plan tailored to your building and investment. Here are some hypothetical scenarios and issues commonly encountered due to a lack of preventative maintenance:
- In cases of heavy winds, large tree limbs or branches may violently land on the roof, potentially cutting or damaging the membrane system upon impact. If left unattended, these branches can also pierce through the membrane over time, exacerbating the damage. Without proper maintenance or timely intervention, these initial damages can escalate and spread further, leading to more significant problems down the line.
- Service workers, such as HVAC mechanical companies, may inadvertently drop unit plates and tools on the roof during disassembly or maintenance activities. These incidents can cause cuts, splits, and holes in the roofing membrane. Without prompt attention and maintenance, these small cuts and holes can gradually expand, leading to more significant issues over time if not adequately addressed.
- Leaves can accumulate on the flat roofing system during the fall season,, obstructing flat roof drains and causing ponding water. This pooling water can damage the roofing membrane over time, leading to seepage into elevated crevices. Without proper maintenance or timely intervention, these damages can escalate and spread, potentially causing more significant issues.
- Excessive snow accumulation on the roof can create tension and overload in detailed areas due to the added weight. While these areas may not be immediately noticeable during the winter months, they can become apparent once spring arrives. Without proper maintenance or timely intervention, any damage caused by this overload can worsen over time and spread, potentially leading to more significant problems.

- An accumulation of dust and debris on the roof can lead to blockages in drainage systems, particularly during heavy rainfall. This buildup often collects around drain couplings, potentially clogging them or compromising the gasket around the drain kit. If combined with additional large debris or leaves, it can exacerbate the issue, resulting in drainage overload around these areas. Without proper maintenance or timely intervention, these damages can escalate and spread, causing more significant problems over time.
- Excessive foot traffic typically does not directly cause damage, however, a constant flow of individuals on the roof can result in careless behavior. For instance, individuals with small sharp objects stuck to their shoes may inadvertently cause minor punctures or scratches while moving across the roof. If left unaddressed, these punctures could potentially expand, leading to membrane damage and necessitating patchwork. Over time, if not properly maintained or addressed promptly, these damages may spread and escalate into more significant problems.
- Vandalism presents a valid concern in certain regions, territories and cities, although the resulting damage may not directly target the roofing membrane. As previously mentioned, a consistent presence of individuals, particularly those who are careless, could gradually cause minor punctures that may expand over time leading to necessitating patchwork. Without proper maintenance or timely intervention, these damages are likely to spread, potentially leading to more significant problems if not addressed promptly.
- Animals or creatures can find their way onto the roof, and in certain areas of Ontario, birds, in particular, may peck at reflective membranes. Over time, this pecking behavior can lead to damages that may spread if not promptly addressed or properly maintained.
