Why Do Flat Roofs Need Maintenance?
These roofs can be a major asset to any building, but they do require regular maintenance. Since these roofs are flat, they don’t shed water or snow as easily as traditional pitched roofs. Common threats include leaks, standing water, and debris accumulation. These situations can cause unnecessary wear and tear on the roofing surface, leading to buckled or blistered roofs.
Canadian roofs need to withstand many serious hazards. Our buildings face heavy winter snows, summer UV radiation, and frequent storms.
It’s important to schedule proper maintenance for your flat roof. Regular service can help prevent damage before it occurs. Iron Shield Roofing offers a full range of flat roof maintenance services to keep your roof functioning at its best. We can make sure your roof is fully functioning and your building is completely protected at all times.
Your Iron Shield Roofing Flat Roof Maintenance Plan
Flat roof maintenance is an ongoing process. You’ll have the most reliable results with a consistent, regular maintenance program. Iron Shield Roofing’s expert technicians can help you determine a customized plan that meets your specific needs. Our general flat roof maintenance plan is built on Inspection, Recommendations, and Repairs. Contact our team now to get started with your own flat roof maintenance!
1. Inspection
Regular roofing inspections are the best way to understand your roof. We recommend scheduling standing inspections throughout the year to gauge your roof’s health.
Inspections allow us to identify potential problems before they become major hazards. Pre-season inspections can help prepare your roof for winter snows, summer sun, or heavy rains. Off-season inspections are a great time to find recent damage and plan for repairs.
We also encourage you to visit your own roof to learn about its normal conditions. Once you know how your roof should look, you’re better prepared to spot changes or damaged areas. You can use this baseline to knowledge to check your roof after severe weather or other unusual events. Iron Shield Roofing is always ready to confirm your suspicions after heavy storms.
2. Recommendations
We know that your roof is a major investment for your company or family. That’s why our Iron Shield Roofing technicians are specially trained to provide roofing recommendations to every client.
We want to help extend the lifespan and performance of your roof. We provide actionable recommendations to make the most of your roofing asset through every part of its lifecycle. Whether we’re suggesting preventative measures for a new roof, strategic patching after several decades of performance, or anything in between, our recommendations will help you get as much value as possible from your system.
3. Repairs
Every flat roof will need repairs from time to time. Severe weather, heavy foot traffic, industrial agents, and other hazards can damage the roofing surface. Iron Shield Roofing offers industry-leading repair services to solve problems as soon as they occur.
Roofing repairs are a smart way to extend the life of your roof. Timely patches are smaller and less expensive than larger projects down the line. Repairing your roof will help you avoid problems such as increased utility costs, drafts, humidity, pest infestations, leaks, and more.
Our Inspection – Recommendation – Repair cycle is the best way to protect and improve your roof. Regular maintenance allows your roof to live up to its full potential, delivering decades of top performance for your brand or family.
EXPLORE FLAT ROOF installations WITH IRON SHIELD ROOFING
That’s why we only offer the finest, most reliable flat roofing options. We’ve watched all of these roofing systems protect Canadian structures through extreme weather and unexpected situations, so we stand behind all of our installation methods. Explore our preferred flat roof options to see what best fits your project.
SBS MODIFIED BITUMEN (STYRENE BUTADIENE STYRENE) ROOFS
SBS Modified Bitumen (Mod Bit) membranes are installed as a multi-ply system, comprised of two or three plies or layers. SBS Modified Bitumen roofs are made with a special blend of polyester and modified bitumen. These industrial-strength materials are then treaded with styrene butadiene styrene (SBS). SBS makes the roofing surface more elastic, meaning it can absorb foot traffic and impacts without taking on damage.
SBS Modified Bitumen roofs offer a range of benefits. These roofs are watertight, energy-efficient, flexible, and tough. Iron Shield Roofing can install your new SBS Mod Bit roof quickly, efficiently, and economically.
EPDM (ETHYLENE PROPYLENE DIENE MONOMER) ROOFS
EPDM (Ethelene, Propylene, and Diene Monomer) is a durable, temperature-resistant rubber roofing membrane. Polyester reinforcements make EPDM roofs strong, flexible, and moisture-resistant. These roofs have been used in Canada for more than 50 years because they’re dependable and trustworthy. EPDM is a highly flexible material that can expand and shrink without damage. This flexibility means that EPDM roofs are well-suited for extreme Canadian temperature changes.
EPDM roofs are especially useful for buildings with lots of rooftop equipment, machinery, protrusions, and other unusual elements. EPDM is flexible enough to mold around any rooftop obstacle.
PVC (POLYVINYL CHLORIDE) ROOFS
PVC (polyvinyl chloride) roofs are a stable option that can be customized to meet your specific needs. PVC roofing membranes are easy to enhance with modifiers, colouring dyes, and plasticizers. If part of your roof is visible from within your building, a coloured PVC roofing system can create an appealing look for your customers and clients.
PVC roofs offer high chemical stability that brings a range of benefits. These roofs are oil-resistant, waterproof, fire-retardant, and solar reflective. You can cut down on energy usage and protect your building at the same time by installing a PVC roofing replacement.
TPO (THERMOPLASTIC POLYOLEFIN) ROOFS
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) roofs are single-ply, or single-layer, roofs that provide many features of multi-ply installations. TPO has lots of the same benefits as EPDM and PVC roofs. For example, these roofs are highly resistant to impacts, tears, punctures, and weather. TPO roofs are also energy-efficient because they reflect UV radiation away from buildings. This UV reflection lowers your building’s energy costs and reduces the thermal sink effect.
If you’re looking for an eco-friendly roofing choice, TPO is a great option. These roofs use 100% recyclable materials for increased sustainability.
TAR AND GRAVEL (BUILT-UP) ROOFS
Tar and gravel or built-up roofs are a traditional option with a long track record of success. These roofing systems use multiple layers of asphalt and gravel to coat your roof. Each layer of tar and gravel builds upon the rest to provide a solid, protective layer.
Built-up roofs are widespread throughout Canada. These systems are easy to repair and deliver multiple layers of protection. These roofs provide powerful elemental protection, so it’s no surprise that they’re so popular.
