Inspecting a flat / low-slope commercial roof bi-annually provides many benefits, inspections are recommended bi-annually. Some of the advantages of being on Geoghegan Roofing's Preventative Maintenance program include, but not limited to:

• Early Issue Detection: Regular inspections can help identify potential problems, such as leaks or damage, at an early stage. This can prevent minor issues from turning into major, costly repairs.
• Prolonged Lifespan: Identifying and addressing problems promptly can extend the lifespan of the roof, saving you money in the long run.
• Warranty Compliance: Many roofing warranties require regular inspections and maintenance to remain valid. Bi-annual inspections can help you stay in compliance with these warranty requirements.
• Preventative Maintenance: Regular inspections enable you to perform routine maintenance, such as cleaning gutters and drains, which can help prevent common issues like water pooling and debris buildup.
• Cost Savings: Identifying and fixing problems early on is typically more cost-effective than waiting until they become major issues that require extensive repairs or even roof replacement.
• Safety: Inspections can also help identify safety hazards like loose roofing materials, which can prevent accidents and liability issues.

The life of a flat / low-slope roof depends on many factors but the most important is routine maintenance. We have seen well maintained roofs last 30 year or more. We have also seen roofs that needed replacement in less than 10 years due to poor or no maintenance. Our goal is to extend the life of your roof and lower the life-cycle cost of your investment.

A flat / low-slope commercial roof system typically needs to be replaced when it shows signs of significant deterioration or damage that cannot be effectively repaired. These signs include leaks, extensive membrane cracks, severe blistering, or insulation problems. The exact timing for replacement can vary depending on the roofing material, climate conditions, and maintenance practices, but it is generally recommended when the roof's overall integrity is compromised and ongoing repairs are no longer cost-effective or practical. Regular inspections and maintenance can help extend the lifespan of a low-slope commercial roof.
