Preventative Maintenance
There is no better friend to your roof than good, quality and proactive roof care. As much as we wish it wasn't so, your roof begins to deteriorate the day it’s installed. While yes, the membrane and perimeter metals are designed to last for many years, the sealants and flashings that complete the system simply do not. Most leaks do not develop overnight. They develop from a steady process of deterioration that can be identified early and fixed at a substantially lower expense. Florida’s top building owners and managers recognize this and implement an cost efficient program to eliminate these problems.
Pre and Post-Storm Inspections
In our hostile Florida environment, extreme weather is a consistent threat. Gale force winds and storm debris can be a serious threat to your roof. Equipment can become damaged, strong winds can dislodge components of the system and vegetative debris can clog drainage area, all leading to serious and potentially dangerous scenarios. It’s smart and effective to ensure your roof is ready for any storm and determine if any damage was sustained after the threat has passed.
Quality Workmanship
There are over 5,000 registered roofing contractors in Florida alone. There is not a single day where RAMCON is not asked to visit a facility and correct improper repairs completed by a sub-par contractor. Quality workmanship ensures that a repair is done the right way and endures as an integral component of the roofing system. Remember, all repairs must be completed within the manufacturer’s specifications to maintain complete warranty coverage.
Keeping That Roof Clean
It’s a fact, a clean roof lasts longer and remains more energy efficient that a dirty one. Add to this the advent of “rated” reflective roofing, cleaning your roofing system is clearly a necessary task. As light colored membranes accumulate dirt, the reflectance value will decrease. Therefore without regular cleaning, you will not fully benefit from the value of reflectivity as roofs become soiled and lose their energy savings potential. Additionally, dirty membranes and debris will cause the material to prematurely deteriorate. and may actually damage the system.
