WNY’S RUBBER ROOFING EXPERTS

Rubber roofing is a type of flat roof that many value for its longevity, lightweight nature, low maintenance, and resistance to hazards such as fire, mold, and mildew. While rubber roofing is steadily becoming more popular, it is still less common than other flat roofing materials. This means that not all roofing contractors have experience with rubber roofs; if you have this type of roof or you're interested in having one installed, it's important to work with a contractor who has experience working with rubber.

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR RUBBER ROOFING SYSTEM

If you have a rubber roof, it’s important to take the proper steps to keep it in good shape. Regular inspections and repairs as needed can reduce or prevent potential damage, keeping your rubber roofing system working properly for many years to come. Here are some tips to help you properly maintain and care for your rubber roof:

• Regular Inspections: Inspect your rubber roof on a regular basis to identify any signs of damage or wear. Look for cracks, tears, or areas where the rubber may be lifting. If you find any issues, address them quickly to prevent further damage.
• Keep it Clean: Leaves, dirt, and other debris can accumulate on your rubber roof over time. Regular cleanings can remove these contaminants and prevent damage. Use a soft-bristle brush or a leaf blower to gently remove any debris on your roof. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can damage the rubber surface.
• Prevent Ponding Water: Make sure that your rubber roof has proper drainage to prevent ponding water. Standing water can cause damage to the rubber membrane over time, especially here in the Western New York area. Clear any debris from gutters and downspouts to keep water draining properly.
• Avoid Foot Traffic: Keep foot traffic on your rubber roof to a minimum as much as you can. Excessive weight or walking can cause damage to the rubber surface. If you need to access your roof, use walkways or boards to distribute weight more evenly and reduce pressure.
• Regular Maintenance: Schedule regular maintenance with a professional roofing contractor who is experienced in rubber roof care to identify potential issues before they become serious problems. Our team can thoroughly inspect your roof, perform any necessary repairs, and provide recommendations for ongoing maintenance.
• Address Issues Promptly: If you notice any damage or potential problems with your rubber roof, it’s important to address them promptly. Ignoring problems, even minor ones, can lead to more significant damage and extensive repairs down the line. It can also cause your roof to deteriorate more quickly than it would without prompt repairs.

By following these tips and committing to regular maintenance, you can extend your rubber roof’s lifespan and keep it in optimal condition for many years to come.
