1. Schedule regular roof inspections
You must inspect your galvanized roof at least twice a year after each severe weather condition. You should be careful how you do this. When checking, check the following.

Has your roof been damaged by snow or hail? This can be identified by ice dams and roof leaks.

Are there signs of rust or corrosion?

Whether any sealants have failed. These can be identified by peeling or peeling off the sealant

Are there missing fasteners? It is important to check with your manufacturer when to replace fasteners as they have a limited lifespan.

Are the panels and fasteners sporting wear?


2. Never ignore a leak
A leaky roof is the disaster in waiting. You need to fix any leaks immediately. Tiny water droplets can grow over time and damage your walls, floors and ceilings. Increased humidity can also lead to mold growth, which can lead to allergies and respiratory complications for anyone in the building. Worse, water can corrode your beams and cause your commercial metal roof to cave in. You can protect everyone inside and the structural integrity of your building by getting roof repairs done early.

3. Pay attention to winter
Your commercial roofing system may need extra care in the winter. Snow, rain and storms can damage your roof. Freezing and thawing cycles can cause ice dams to form, which can damage your roof. The weight of snow can also put enormous stress on metal roof beams. You may want to schedule an inspection of your commercial metal roof before the first snowfall. Additionally, you may need to organize snow removal as part of your winter roof maintenance services.


4. Keep your roof clean
Keeping your roof system free of debris is one of the best things you can do to prolong its life. Overhanging branches can knock leaves and branches off the roof. Dirt can pool water on your roof and breed mold and algae. Vegetative growth on roofs can cause extensive damage. While you may want to do it yourself, it's best to leave the cleanup to a commercial roofing company. Walking on the wrong edge can cause lasting damage to your roof.


5. Keep other metals away from your roof
Some metal roofs begin to degrade when they come in contact with copper, brick, concrete, and treated wood. Check the roof regularly to make sure it is free of debris.
