  • 5 Ways to Save Your Roof This Winter

    NOAA’s 2020 - 2021 winter forecast is p redicting cooler, wetter conditions for the Northern US. With the potential for a very wet, cold, and possibly snow filled winter ahead, taking preventative measures now is essential to protecting your roof this winter. 1) REGULAR INSPECTIONS A professional inspection is the most effective way to stop roof problems before they happen. Regular inspections should be scheduler at least twice a year as part of any preventative maintenance plan. 2) DEBRIS REMOVAL Blocked drains and gutters trap water from melted snow causing it to seep down into cracks and crevices. Evan a small amount of water can cause significant damage to the roof structure. Freezing and expanding over and over again. 3) VENTILATION & INSULATION Excess heat loss on flat roofs can cause snow to melt and refreeze rapidly leading to damaging ice dams. Adequate ventilation will give cool air the ability to flow efficiently, while proper insulation will prevent pockets of warm air from reaching the roof, which is where the “melt and refreeze” process begins. 4) REGULAR SNOW REMOVAL Packed snow can weigh up to 20 pounds per cubic feet. The unnecessary strain and damage from melting snow and ice can be avoided with regular monitoring and removal. Snow removal should always be done by a professional to ensure safety and avoid damage to the roof. 5) COATINGS & SEALANTS When applied proactively, coatings and sealants provide an effective barrier against moisture and damage. Boosting your roof's ability to resist moisture and reinforcing the integrity of your flat roof's membrane. Eastern's expert team provides custom preventive maintenance plans and snow removal contracts to ensure your roof is properly protected.

  • Why You Can't Afford to Skip Spring Maintenance

    Winter can leave a roofing system vulnerable and damaged. Heavy snow, repetitive freezing and thawing, and pooling water can all take their toll. Don't wait for a problem to react, get ahead of costly repairs with a preventative maintenance routine. START WITH AN INSPECTION Regular inspections should occur at least twice a year to be an effective prevention. Spring is a crucial time to check flashing, penetrations, seams, and membranes for damage before they become a problem. A little spring maintenance now, a lot of savings later. DO A LITTLE SPRING CLEANING If spring has sprung in your gutters and downspouts, you may find moisture problems in your future. Clearing away rogue vegetation and settled debris prevents drainage issues and eliminates the conditions that lead to surface mold. Keeping a clean and cleared rooftop is a good recipe for a long roof-life. DIG A LITTLE DEEPER When it comes to moisture, things are not always as they appear. Specialized thermal equipment can locate areas of moisture otherwise invisible to the eye. Trapped just below the surface, even the smallest amount of water can cause serious damage when undetected. Deck deterioration, mold, and wet insulation can all lead to expensive repairs and higher energy bills. An in-depth moisture inspection may not be necessary every spring, but it may be worth considering if the initial inspection finds concerns or if moisture has been an issues in the past. Whatever your concerns may be, Eastern's team can ensure you'll get the most out of your spring maintenance. With customized plans designed to meet the unique needs of your building, our proactive approach keeps both your roof and your budget in good health. Don't be caught unprepared.

  • Commercial Roof Maintenance Tune-Up

    The roof of a commercial building is one of the most important components to maintain. Roof failures can result in major disruption to the use of a commercial property. Commercial roof maintenance, and being proactive with roof inspections and repairs, are proven to result in a longer roof lifespan. That’s why we are excited to share our commercial roof tune up program. It’s designed to help building owners and property managers understand and take control of their roof maintenance. This program can help address roofing issues before they create the need for an expensive commercial roof replacement. We aim to make it simple for our clients. When it comes to commercial roofing, our team aims to repair and maintain first. With every commercial roof we step on, we are looking for ways to keep it working longer to extend the life of the roof as much as possible while protecting the structure. So, what does our commercial roof maintenance tune-up consist of? To put it simply, it’s three things: A thorough commercial roof inspection Light repairs our inspection tech can perform on the spot. A report provided to the owner or manager, including photos and descriptions. Thorough Commercial Roof Inspection. Our commercial roof tune-up always begins with a thorough inspection of the roof. We will access the roof either by built-in access or with our ladder and walk the roof to understand its condition. Our roof walk will begin at the perimeter of the roof and work inward toward the roof “field”. Our commercial roof technicians will inspect the following critical areas on the rooftop: Perimeter wall condition, including cap metal and/or gutters. Condition of roof drains. Many commercial roof leaks originate with clogged drains. Check the seams for any uplift or opening. Loose seams on membrane roofs are a primary cause of failure. Bad roof seams should be addressed quickly as this problem can spread quickly. HVAC and penetration flashing. Areas where traffic occurs, and where there are transitions to vertical membrane, can be where roof issues happen first. Storm damage Other general areas: We want to see a roof membrane free from blisters, holes, tears, cracks, or signs of ponding water. In some cases, our technician may also take a core sample of the roof to understand what layers of roof material, insulation board, cover board, or vapor barrier may be present as part of the roof system. We will never take a core sample without the authorization of the building owner or manager, and we always professionally patch the core sample area. Minor spot repairs to the commercial roof. Also, part of our commercial roof tune-ups are minor spot-repairs that our inspection tech can perform while on your roof. One small repair that another inspector may walk past is an opportunity for our commercial roofing team to protect a section of roofing as a complimentary service. What does this mean? Commercial roof sealant – Specifically, our commercial roof inspector will review how your roof is sealed under coping flashing and/or termination bars. These areas often need re-sealing. If we notice an area needs additional sealant, we will apply it immediately to help keep the roof watertight. Sealant may also be applied to storm collars, counter flashing, vents, and pipe jack flashings. (typically, no more than 1 tube of commercial roof sealant per tune- up). Roof drains – We will also clean roof drain baskets and/or scuppers from any debris blocking water flow. Clogged roof drains create ponding water and are a major source of commercial roof leaks. (typically, 1-2 5-gal buckets of debris removal from drains are included). Debris removal – Over time, debris can accumulate on commercial roofs. Items like tree branches, plastic waste, etc. can accelerate the deterioration of your roof membrane. We’ll remove these items during our visit to your roof (typically up to 1-2 5-gal buckets of debris, in addition to drain cleaning buckets). Commercial roof report. After our visit to the roof to inspect and perform light repairs, we will prepare a commercial roof report to deliver to the owner or property manager. Each commercial roof tune-up report includes the following categories, all of which will be supported by photos and descriptions based on our roof inspection. Overall roof grade – and comments regarding ponding water, material condition. Grade for roof material seams. Grade for roof penetrations/flashings. Grade for roof drains, gutters, or scuppers. Suggested roof repair areas. Anticipated remaining roof life. The report will be electronically delivered in a no-obligation format so the building owner or manager can review for themselves. If there are any areas that our team suggests for repairs, we will provide a repair estimate separately for your consideration. When you are ready for your commercial roof tune-up, contact the commercial roofing team at Eastern Roofing Systems. We will schedule an appointment for the tune-up and professionally address any concerns you have about your building’s roof. Commercial roof maintenance in Baltimore/WashinGton DC Metro. Being proactive about commercial roof maintenance is important for any commercial building. But the stakes are even higher in the Southeastern plain ecoregion, where roofs are regularly tasked with hot and humid summers, chilly winters, and sporadic snowfall. It may seem strange, but what we have found is the more you maintain your roof, the less you spend on it overall. Not all commercial roofs we inspect are maintainable, however. In some cases, urgent repairs are needed before the roof can be considered maintainable. For example, when a building sells to a new buyer, we often receive calls to begin maintaining the roof. However, the seller may not have been so proactive, so certain repairs will be required before routine maintenance can begin. How much do commercial roof maintenance plans cost? On average, commercial roof maintenance costs $0.05-$0.15 per square foot of roof surface. Keep in mind the cost for ongoing roof maintenance depends on several factors, and each maintenance plan is custom- designed for the needs of the building. This expense is an annual maintenance cost, and if larger repairs are needed, our team can help you budget and plan for those individually. This cost includes the annual tune-up, light repairs, and report once per year with additional roof work performed as needed. What if my building needs a commercial roof replacement? We always aim to extend the life of your commercial roof as long as possible. But eventually, it may need to be replaced. If our commercial roof maintenance tune-up inspection reveals that it’s time to replace the roof, our team can help. We will estimate the cost of the roof replacement and provide a timeline for what the project scope will look like. How does maintenance affect my NDL commercial warranty? Many commercial roofs are installed with a no-dollar-limit (NDL) warranty. NDL warranties help protect the building owner in the event of improper installation or faulty roof materials. But NDL warranties have their own set of terms and conditions that must be followed for the warranty to remain in effect. Most NDL warranties require regular inspections of the roof and require the roof to be maintained. If there comes time for a warranty claim and the NDL provider discovers that regular inspections and maintenance have not been performed, they are likely to deny the warranty request leaving the building owner on the hook for the costly repairs.
