Commercial roofs benefit from professional attention to prepare for the challenges of summer. From intense heat to heavy rain, severe storms, and hurricanes, addressing potential roofing issues now can prevent costly repairs for your clients’ roof system.

Let’s explore how spring roof maintenance and moisture testing can benefit your business and how partnering with Structura View can set you apart.

Why Maintenance and Roof Moisture Surveys Matter for Contractors

As a roofing contractor, your clients rely on you to protect their roof system from the elements. Winter often leaves behind hidden roofing issues, such as moisture infiltration and material degradation that can escalate during summer storms. By conducting spring maintenance and leveraging Structura View’s advanced roof moisture survey services, you can:

• Identify Hidden Damage: Using our thermal imaging and moisture scanning tools, you can pinpoint hard-to-see issues like trapped moisture that could lead to leaks or failure.
  
  
• Extend Roof Lifespan: Our data-driven insights help you recommend targeted repairs that preserve the roof’s longevity and your client’s investment.
  
  
• Offer Cutting-Edge Services: Offering services like aerial scans and non-destructive impedance testing demonstrates your commitment to thorough and modern roofing practices.

Quick Roof Maintenance Checklist

1. Identify and Remove Debris from the Roof Surface:
While clearing debris is standard, Structura View’s moisture survey services allow you to verify if debris has caused unseen damage, such as moisture retention or surface cracks. Thermal scans highlight any areas requiring immediate attention.

2. Inspect Sealants and Flashing:
Sealants and flashing around HVAC units, drains, and rooftop penetrations can be vulnerable to wear. Our on-roof and aerial moisture scanning tools, along with our proprietary testing methods detect potential leaks in these critical areas, ensuring you can provide accurate recommendations to your clients.

3. Check Roofing Membranes and Surface Materials:
Our roof inspections identify issues like punctures, blisters, or delamination in commercial roofing membranes and roofing material. By combining our findings with your expertise, you can propose accurate repairs and avoid costly callbacks.

4. Address Moss, Algae, and Pooling Water:
Pooling water and organic growth are common on flat roofs. Structura View’s moisture surveys and leak detection ensure you detect long-term risks like material degradation beneath the surface. This insight helps you prioritize repairs that prevent further damage.

5. Inspect Rooftop Equipment Areas:
Rooftop HVAC units and other heavy equipment are common sources of leaks and wear across the entire roof. Our detailed moisture surveys provide insight into the condition of roofing membranes and insulation, helping you create a comprehensive maintenance plan.

6. Offer Inspections for Moisture Surveys and leak detection:
Structura View’s drone and on-roof inspections allow you to quickly and safely survey commercial roofs, capturing high-resolution imagery and thermal data to provide your clients with detailed reports and actionable insights.

7. Reduced Resistance to Quotes with Third-Party Validation:
By incorporating third-party evaluations, such as Structura View’s advanced roof moisture survey services, you can provide unbiased, data-driven insights that validate your recommendations. This independent verification builds trust and helps clients better understand the necessity and value of proposed repairs, reducing resistance to quotes and expediting project approval.
