Have you considered the most common factors affecting your flat roof? Have you considered what your flat roof protects 365 days a year? Next to the foundation, the roof is arguably the next most important part of a building. No other building component takes as much varied abuse as your flat roof. Out of sight, out of mind is a high risk thought process as no roof will last forever. Preventative Roof Maintenance on your flat roof is one of the most important and overlooked part of successful and profitable asset management. There is no secret, roof systems last longer with routine roof maintenance and care. Maintenance free roof? Good luck! Even the most robust flat roof system will require drainage points to be cleaned and cleared and deteriorated sealant removed and replaced. Preventative roof maintenance has been proven to extend the life of flat roof systems and save you thousands of dollars in annual repair costs. Let’s learn more about Alliance Roofing’s PREV/ACTION Roof Maintenance Program and how it can help protect your biggest asset! |

WHAT IS PREV/ACTION?
PREVENTATIVE Roof Maintenance ACTION Plan
WHAT'S INCLUDED WITH PREV/ACTION?
HANDS-ON ANNUAL ROOF EVALUATIONS
Once or twice a year (your call!) two maintenance technicians will visit your roof and complete hands-on maintenance tasks during what is called a “Roof Evaluation”.
|
COMPREHENSIVE LOOK AT ALL ASPECTS OF YOUR ROOF
During the Roof Evaluation our technicians will make note of exterior conditions, interior conditions, and all detailing related to your flat roof.
|
TEMPORARY EMERGENCY REPAIRS
All noted voids and holes or any emergency situations on your flat roof will be temporarily sealed while we are on site. We will follow up with a recommendation and investment to complete a permanent repair.
|
DRAINAGE POINTS CLEANED & CLEARED
During the Roof Evaluation all roof drain strainers and 4’x4’ “sump” area around roof drain will be cleaned and cleared of all debris. If can be done so safely, all perimeter spillout and scupper entry points will also be cleaned and cleared of all debris.
|
CLEAR & CONCISE REPORTS
After each Roof Evaluation by our technicians, a clear and concise written and photographed Roof Evaluation Report will be submitted to you.
|
CUSTOM DETAILED ROOF PLANS
Along with each Roof Evaluation Report there will be a custom drawn roof plan of your facility. An updated roof plan will be submitted after each Roof Evaluation and can be used hand-in-hand with your Evaluation Report.
|
EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOUR ROOF
At the back end of the Roof Evaluation Report we will present to you all recommendations that were viewed during the Roof Evaluation, these recommendations are provided to extend the life of your roof. Recommendations will be numerically documented complete with a brief description and level of priority. These recommendations will also be shown on your custom roof plan for location reference.
|
ACCURATE BUDGETING & FORECASTING
A free investment proposal will be submitted after each Roof Evaluation separated into “high” and “medium” priority levels. Proposals can be adjusted to suit your needs and may be used to budget and forecast into future years.
|
ONLINE CLIENT PORTAL ACCESS
All scheduling, reports, photographs, proposals, invoices, and more! Will be uploaded to your very own online client portal, which you will have access to while under the annual PREV/ACTION Roof Maintenance umbrella. This information can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection.

AVOID PREMATURE ROOF REPLACEMENT
80% of roofs are replaced prematurely due to lack of preventative maintenance.

WHY CAN'T I MAINTAIN THE ROOF MYSELF?
It is highly recommended by industry professionals and manufacturers to have a certified flat roofing contractor maintain your flat roof. This ensures correct details are evaluated and measures are taken to minimize future issues or "null & void" warranties. Often we find a contractor is able to best identify areas of concern and problem areas in its earliest stage, and can then make immediate repairs while on site, minimizing delay before the issue is resolved.
