Flat Roof Inspections & Maintenance by RMA Surveyors

Flat roofs are a popular choice for many properties. They look modern and use space efficiently. However, they need regular care to stay in good condition. Without maintenance, issues like leaks and water pooling can cause damage. At RMA Surveyors, we provide expert flat roof assessments to help you avoid costly repairs and keep your roof in excellent shape.

Why You Need Flat Roof Inspections

Flat roofs face different challenges compared to pitched roofs. Over time, they can develop problems due to weather, debris, or aging materials. Regular inspections can catch these issues early. This saves you money and helps extend the life of your roof.

Benefits of Flat Roof Inspections

  1. Find Problems Early: Inspections can spot small issues before they become big ones.
  2. Save Money: Fixing minor damage costs less than major repairs.
  3. Extend Roof Life: Maintenance helps your roof last longer.

Common Flat Roof Problems

Flat roofs are durable but not problem-free. Here are some common issues:

  • Water Pooling: Poor drainage causes water to collect, which damages materials over time.
  • Cracks and Leaks: Weather and temperature changes can lead to cracks or leaks.
  • Blocked Drains: Leaves and dirt can clog drains, making water pooling worse.
  • Thermal Damage: Heat and cold cause the roof to expand and contract, which weakens it.

These problems can be avoided with regular inspections and proper maintenance.
