Attention: Building Owners – Schedule your roof inspection today!

As the saying goes, April showers bring May flowers. Unfortunately they may bring roof leaks as well.

Winter is tough on your roof. The damage the harsh weather can cause and the roof leaks that result can cause serious harm to your building. Your roof should be inspected at least 2 times per year (or more) and it is wise to schedule inspections in the Spring and the Fall. You should also inspect your roof after the occurrence of significant weather events that may have damaged your roof.

Visual inspections of your roof should include:

• Inspection of roof membrane, flashings, roof drains, gutters, and other components of the roofing system for any damage that may have occurred.
• Identification of conditions that may affect the long-term performance of the roof.
• Development of list of corrective actions needed.

Most damage can be easily repaired with Acrymax coatings. Applying Acrymax coatings in combination with fabric reinforcement can seal cracks, repair flashings, and fix other roof problems.

• Acrymax elastomeric coatings including AF-130BC and AF-130 are available in 1 gallon or 5 gallon pails.
