What Can I Do to Maintain the Roof at My Multi-Family Complex in Austin?

There are some routine steps you can take to help maintain the condition of the roof at your multi-family complex and help prolong its life:

Regular inspection. When you regularly examine the roof and interior ceilings, it can help you catch relatively small problems before they become larger issues. Any roof can suffer damage from regular wear and tear, but special conditions in Austin also expose multi-family complex roofs to additional hazards.

Roofs across Austin are vulnerable to insects and animals like birds and squirrels that can cause leaks and inflict other significant damage to multi-family structures. Austin is also notorious weather-related issues that can tear apart roofs – even if they’re brand new

Beyond the constant sun exposure that Austin roofs must endure, the area also regularly sees violent storms with hail, heavy rains, and high winds. These destructive weather conditions can knock holes in a roof or send trees and tree branches into buildings, tearing off roof components and leading to significant leaks.

When you’re inspecting your building, it’s important to look at ceilings on upper floors of the building to detect possible roof leaks, and ask your tenants to notify you immediately if they see any signs of water damage. Additionally, examine the roof for shingles that are missing, loose, or have damage, such as cracks, curling, mold, or worn spots.

Also look for other loose or missing pieces, such as flashing, bolts, and nails. It’s also critical to look at areas around vent openings, skylights, downspouts, and chimneys. Signs of damage in these areas might include things like cracked bricks, peeling paint, or missing mortar or caulk.

• Debris removal. Debris often gathers in many areas of multi-family building roofs and can cause significant damage if it isn’t properly cleared. For example, leaves, branches, and other debris can gather on top of the roof, as well as in downspouts. In addition, mold and moss might gather on shingles.
• Timely repairs. If you discover any damage when you inspect the roof to your building, it’s critical to quickly repair broken or missing roof components. This helps you reduce the risk of minor roof damage turning into more complicated and costly problems. Repairs should include replacing missing or damaged shingles, flashing, hardware, or other pieces of the roof.
