On most schools, industrial buildings, and other similar facilities, roofs are flat rather than slanted as they are on homes. However, just like a home’s roof, it is critical a flat roof receive a periodic inspection to make sure it is still in good shape and not in need of repairs. Unfortunately the vast majority of facilities possessing flat roofs fail to heed this advice, and thus sometimes go for many years without a professional roof inspection. As a result, problems such as leaks and structural issues become noticeable only when a major problem develops. Rather than wait until a small problem has turned into a big emergency, here are some of the biggest and best benefits of a flat roof inspection.

Foam Roof Re-coating
If your building has a flat roof that also happens to be a foam roof, an inspection is essential in many ways. Since we recommend a foam roof be recoated every five years, regular inspections are needed to know when a spray roof gun will be required. In addition, regularly recoating a foam roof will also help increase your ROI, or Return on Investment. Since a roof is one of the biggest investments made to a building of any kind, keeping it in great shape will go far in keeping more money in your pocket and giving you peace of mind.

Foam Stress and Compression
Since foam roofs differ in many ways from other types of traditional roofs, inspections are needed on a regular basis so that trained inspectors can check for signs of foam stress and compression. By finding these signs as early as possible, you can schedule an appointment with us here at Foam Experts Roofing to make sure your roof is always well-maintained.
