Most maintenance and engineering managers face the quandary of too many problem roofs for the money available. The problem might well be a lack of money, but it could also be the lack of a coherent roof management plan.Most managers in commercial and institutional facilities agree that regular inspections are an essential part of a roof asset management program. They also recognize and agree with the basic roof management tenet that regular inspections and routine maintenance reduce ownership costs, reduce leak frequency and severity, extend roof life, and reduce management inefficiencies.
But, in practice, by the time many organizations think about starting a roof management plan, they need a roof-replacement program. The obligation to fund and implement roof replacements has supplanted the opportunities to maintain and repair. If organizations can extend the life of each built-up roof under management one year, they break even on the roof-management plan costs. If they can extend each roof by two or three years, the plan can reduce roof expenditures by a multiple of its costs.
So why don’t all organizations have a viable inspection and maintenance plan for their built-up roofs? Is it inertia or a fear of the unknown? The reasons are hard to fathom, but what is certain is that some plans never get started. Also certain is that even a minimal plan is better than no plan. The best advice for managers is to start now.
Good post. Hope that we will found more helpful post like above from you soon.
ReplyDeleteWe cannot really trust all the information coming our way. But your blog provides credible and cited information and that’s why it is a trusted one. The advices you give on glass solution and how to purchase roof and sky lights have done wonders to me and my house. I took your advice and purchased roof lights from Vision AGI. Thank You Vision!
ReplyDeleteHaving a proper inspection can reduce the risks of a leaky roof when you buy a place. We've been looking into having our roofs checked out. It helps to know a little bit about maintenance too. Thanks so much for this article!

I would have to agree with you. I like your post.. Nice informative stuff in your blog.. Commercial Roofing
ReplyDeleteI would agree with the article. It really is a lack of the unknown and because of this they don't really give it much attention. I think that the first inspection is the one that breaks that fear. Then it will become a regular thing for that company.
