Southern California Roof Maintenance

"I just replaced the leaky roof on my building with a brand new roof with a 20 year manufacturer’s warranty. I can put that problem out of my mind for another couple of decades. Right?" Wrong!

The advertised life on a typical flat (built up) roof is 20 years, yet the actual average life across the United States is only 12 years; and the statistics on sloped roofs show the same trend. It’s important to recognize that the 12-year life is the average for well-maintained roofs located in less severe climates, along with those that are located in severe climates and ignored. The Southern California and southern California region environment has several “waterproofing-unfriendly” characteristics that can dramatically shorten the life of your new roof:!

  • High levels of UV radiation – breaks down roofing & waterproofing materials
  • Hot summers / cool nights – break down roofing & waterproofing materials, cracks and breaks seals from expansion/contraction
  • Air pollution – breaks down roofing & waterproofing materials
  • Earthquakes – cracks and breaks seals with each movement

Other factors that can reduce the lifespan of your roof include:

  • Workmen servicing roof- and deck-mounted equipment
  • Debris collecting on roof top and waterproof surfaces
  • Plugged drains and gutters
  • Animal damage
