Roof leak prevention tips for multi-tenant building managers

If you own or manage a multi-tenant building, roof leaks can be a serious problem for you. For one, tenants paying top dollar for the space they rent or lease would not want to put up with any roof leakage issues. They would want you to address the problem as quickly as possible. Secondly, a leaking roof can effectively drive away your potential tenants. Nothing can cause a tenant interested in renting or leasing your space to lose interest faster than when they see a roof leak.

When it comes to roof leaks, an ounce of prevention can result in a prolonged roof life and fewer headaches. To that end, here are some roof leak prevention tips that you should consider:

• Schedule a commercial roof inspection so that you can identify potential problem areas well before a leak can cause a great deal of harm to your multi-tenant building.
• Consider having a certified roofing contractor near you to perform your roof inspection. A certified contractor would have the experience, expertise, and equipment needed to identify even the smallest areas of concern with your roof that, if ignored, might turn into costly repairs.
• Keep a record of all inspection dates, who conducted the inspection, and other related information. If some repair work has been performed to fix the leakage issues, make sure that that information is recorded as well. Keeping accurate roof repair records makes it easy to determine when a roof replacement is needed so that you can make the necessary preparations — such as notifying your tenants and preparing the budget — ahead of time.
• Exchange your commercial roof maintenance ideas with other property managers. Sharing experiences can help everyone.
