Your commercial roof is the single largest component protecting your business’ building, employees, and assets. Keeping it up-to-date and leak-free is important to keeping your building safe. But when it comes time to replace your roof, that can be expensive. So what can you do to prevent this costly expenditure from happening?
One of the biggest ways to reduce the cost of a roof replacement is by “recycling in place.”
So, what does it mean to “recycle in place?” How do you know which materials can be reused? How can you save money with this process? Check out the video below or continue reading to explore the answers to those questions and more.
What does it mean to “recycle in place?”
“Recycling in place” means that you are able to leave parts of your roof in place and only replace the areas that absolutely need it. And reusing materials has more benefits than you might imagine.
Putting the focus on maximizing your business’ roof allows you to save money and extend the longevity of it without having to do a complete replacement.
At Weather Shield, we’re able to reincorporate and reuse parts that other contractors may tell you need replacing. Most local commercial roof repair companies are more concerned about selling an entire roof. But an honest, excellent roofing contractor is not in the business of selling you a full roof replacement when a few spots need to be repaired instead.
How does recycling in place help my wallet?
Recycling in place can help you save both your money and the environment. We will start with your wallet first.
While a whole roof replacement can be a big expense, repairing your roof in sections can be much more reasonable. At Weather Shield, we start every roof inspection with the best technology available to inspect your roof. This includes using infrared leak detection and nuclear moisture scanning technology to get a full picture of your roof.
Using these technologies, we can locate and map hidden roof issues that are invisible to the eye. We can then evaluate which parts of your roof are in dry, good condition and which parts are wet and need to be replaced — allowing you to cut costs by only having us replace the parts that are in poor condition as we recycle. Taking the guesswork out of the inspections could save you thousands of dollars with your company’s roof.
How does recycling in place help improve the environment?
Now for the environment — building materials aren’t always environmentally friendly. But in most cases, there’s a lot that can be said about reusing materials as opposed to replacing them.
Taking out materials that could be reused or repurposed and simply disposing of them for new materials is not an environmentally friendly plan. However, being able to reuse and repurpose materials saves your business from unneeded waste. Our goal is to keep as much roofing material out of landfills as possible.
Recycling in place is a win-win situation for both your pocket book and the environment.
