Commercial Roof Maintenance FAQ

General Maintenance FAQ

How often should a commercial roof be inspected?

A commercial roof should be inspected at least twice a year to identify any issues before they become major problems.

What are some signs that my roof needs maintenance?

Leaks, ponding water, damaged flashing or sealants, and visible cracks or blisters in the roofing material may indicate a need for roof maintenance.

Can roof maintenance extend the life of my commercial roof?

Yes, proper and regular roof maintenance can significantly extend the lifespan of your commercial roof.

Tenant Finish FAQ

How can I prepare my roof so the new tenant can finish work?

Before any tenant finishes work, we recommend having a roof inspection to identify existing issues. This helps ensure a smooth installation by preventing unforeseen roadblocks.

Will the tenant finish work void my roof warranty?

Not necessarily, but it’s crucial to work with a certified roofing contractor like Rackley Roofing to ensure all work is completed according to manufacturer specifications and building codes, preserving existing warranties.

Gutter Cleaning and Debris Removal FAQ

How often should I have my commercial gutters cleaned?

The frequency of gutter cleaning depends on the surrounding environment and debris accumulation. Generally, it is recommended that your gutters be cleaned twice a year, or more frequently if necessary.

What happens if I don’t clean my gutters regularly?

Neglecting gutter cleaning can lead to clogs, which can damage your roof, walls, and foundation. It can also promote mold growth and attract pests.

Can gutter cleaning be done safely from the ground?

For safety reasons, we recommend having gutters cleaned by professionals like our team at Rackley Roofing, who have the proper equipment and training to access and clean gutters safely from the roof.

Grease Trap Installation FAQ

How do rooftop grease traps work?

Rooftop grease traps are installed in line with the kitchen exhaust system ductwork on the roof. As hot grease and air exhaust pass through, the trap cools the grease, causing it to solidify and separate from the airflow before entering the roof drainage.

What happens if a rooftop grease trap is neglected?

When rooftop grease traps are not regularly serviced, built-up grease and oils can solidify and block proper airflow and drainage. This can lead to hazardous conditions like fires, foul odors, roof leaks/damage, and violations of health codes.

Should an old rooftop grease trap be repaired or replaced?

In some cases, extremely old or damaged rooftop grease traps may need to be replaced entirely. Our technicians can evaluate your existing trap’s condition and recommend the most cost-effective solution: repair or a complete grease trap replacement.
