Some of these, such as extreme weather events, are beyond the control of the building owner. But perhaps the single biggest cause of premature roof failure - forgetting about regular maintenance - can be avoided. A systematic roof inspection and maintenance program is essential to the satisfactory long-term performance of any roof. Through such a program, potential problems can be found in their early stages or prevented altogether. Learning objectives: - Understand the causes of roof wear - Review key roof areas that require inspection and what to look for - Understand the importance of regular roof and drain cleaning - Learn best practices to control and monitor activity on the roof - Assess the impact of roof alterations as well as considerations of any roof alteration" To register/join: https://tradepressevents.webex.com/mw3300/mywebex/default.do?nomenu=true&siteurl=tradepressevents&service=6&rnd=0.5371952290043501&main_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftradepressevents.webex.com%2Fec3300%2Feventcenter%2Fevent%2FeventAction.do%3FtheAction%3Ddetail%26%26%26EMK%3D4832534b000000043b539f1de332f46120e8c6e50fa67a228458227cef0380a6ebc8a768f7aef3ca%26siteurl%3Dtradepressevents%26confViewID%3D101630889307438876%26SourceId%3Deamil%26encryptTicket%3DSDJTSwAAAATdnJDmAPeI3j3kr-B8oIDhI0fUz2xRSH0xIK1MWWFd_g2%26 Warmly, Lisa Lisa M.
