Waterproofing Maintenance FAQs
How often should a flat roof be inspected?
At least once a year, and after major storms.
Does maintenance extend the life of a roof?
Regular cleaning, recoating and small repairs usually help a membrane last longer.
Can I clean outlets myself?
Yes, if it is safe to get onto the roof. Leave inspections and repairs to a contractor.
Do warranties require maintenance?
Many do. Check the warranty terms for inspection and recoating requirements.
