Start this program by keeping track of all the work that is done on the roof such as construction or maintenance. Be sure to have the roof regularly inspected twice a year by contacting a reputable roofing company. One of these inspections should happen in the autumn prior to the winter so that if any repairs are needed they can be done before any cold winter weather prevents it. The next roof inspection should be in the spring so if it needs repairs the weather will permit it. You may consider having an additional inspection after any bad storm or extreme weather condition or fire just to be sure that no problem occurred.
Any drainage on a roof will also require attention. Any small puddles of water are usually not any cause of concern as far as the general performance of the roof itself. However if you notice a large amount of water has accumulated from a blocked drain, it can cause a good amount of damage to the roof. A leak can occur because the water level had reached an extension of a wall at the edge of the roof. In addition to roof inspections, all drains should be checked.
The interior of the roof members must also be examined for any cracking or settling. If you notice any water stain on the beams of the roof you should contact a professional as this could indicate that moisture has penetrated so repairs will need to be made. If the roof is concrete it should be examined for any cracks. Any type of structural failure may negatively affect how your roof performs. At the first sign of a problem, you should contact a professional roofing company. If you ignore problems you could spend more money for repairs.
