Maintenance Program Benefits

The Threat of Undetected Damage

Where your roof system is concerned, no news can be bad news. Ineffective roof systems maintenance is a very quiet drain on your capital assets, and it is one that can operate undetected for months or even years. Often by the time you get warning, substantial damage is already done. It is safe to say that very few commercial or industrial buildings today get anything like the performance they could be getting from their roof systems.

What's more, data from a number of different industries suggests that even the most maintenance-oriented organizations often need help in providing the specialized maintenance needed by today's sophisticated roof systems. The result, for most roof systems, is either benign neglect or misapplied maintenance that can actually damage the roof system it is attempting to preserve — and void the warranty in the process.

Limitations On Your Warranty

Too many building owners and managers assume incorrectly that their roof systems are protected by manufacturers' warranties. In fact this protection is severely limited by a long list of exceptions and exclusions which are carefully spelled out in the fine print on your warranty. Experienced roofing contractors estimate that fewer than five percent of roof system damage claims meet the stringent requirements set forth in the industry-standard warranties.

Bi-State's new Preventive Maintenance Program for commercial and industrial roof systems is the first such program in the St. Louis area, and the best. It ensures your compliance with even the smallest detail in the manufacturer's warranty, and keeps that warranty intact until you really need it. Whether your roof is under warranty or not, the program offers you a number of other benefits as well.
