Roof coverings are the most likely building envelope component to fail and are generally the only exterior element of a building that will be replaced numerous times before the complete renovation of a building is considered, or the building is demolished. This is compounded many times on low slope or flat roofs where undetected, invasive moisture is constantly degrading even the best materials.

Improper installation and/or inadequate maintenance can result in catastrophic failure of even a relatively new roof resulting in the need to replace the deck substrate, ceilings and walls in addition to the covering... very costly and generally avoidable if managed properly.

Your best investment might very well be a proper Roof Assessment to determine the exact condition of your current roof covering. Martech can examine the conditions that may contribute to premature failure and then help you to extend the service lives, reduce maintenance costs and develop accurate budgets for your roof systems.

Conditions That Typically Contribute To Roof System Premature Failure:
-Improper assessment of existing conditions
-Inadequate/improper construction document preparation
-Undereducated and inexperienced workforce
-Nonconforming installation
-Improper maintenance
-Lowest bid vs. appropriate solution

The Objective of Martech’s Roof Asset Management Program:
-Conduct proper assessment of existing conditions
-Provide accurate database and roof plans for each facility
-Develop accurate short-term repair, recommendations and cost estimates
-Achieve accurate capital improvement cost estimates for budget preparation
-Develop maintenance program/procedures
-Reduce annual maintenance costs and increase the service life of roof systems
-Develop roof system assembly design criteria and standards
