Often Rain in the desert is proceeded by a huge wall of dust.

The accumulation of dust, dirt, leaves, and other debris in tile valleys and roof to wall pan flashings can restrict the free flow of water.

Roof top house keeping is part of a good PM program.

Clogged roof drains, loose drain ring bolts & other neglected PM items can also result in roof leaks

Neglected roofs can result in roof leaks and interior damage. Roof evaluation inspections should beconducted annually at a minimum. A best practice for a commercial flat roof:✓ Inspect during the spring prior to summer rains✓ Inspect during the fall prior to winter rain and or snow✓ Inspect after every major storm ✓ A minimum of one inspection a year by a qualified roofing professional.

Roof top inspections along with a good preventative maintenance program will prevent roof leaks, prevent interior damage to ceilings and walls, and extend the life of the roof.
