Safe Roof System Cost Savings
Safe Roof Systems can dramatically reduce facility maintenance costs - while guarding against catastrophic loss.
Every year, building owners and managers spend too much money (or none at all) unblocking drains and removing snow from flat and low-sloped roofs. Here's the dilemma. While every roof is engineered to hold some snow, water, and ice, there has been no proven, economical way to determine when the extra weight on a roof is reaching structural limits. Today's building codes universally treat snow and rain as live loads, allowing for their weight to be considered over the structure. The result is that most buildings, even those built in the past few years, are highly susceptable the risk of collapse. Factory Mutual recommends in their data Roof Loading Data Sheet that snow and rain should be calculated as dead loads, substantially increasing the structural support requirements ofr almost every building. IN many cases, the expense of such a retrofit is just too high. In these cases, there is no better alternative than a Safe Roof System. So, rather than risk life, property damage, and business interruption, you shovel - because it's better to bbe safe than sorry.Now, you can be safe and slash expenses with the Safe Roof System..
Safe Roof Systems continuously monitor roof loads and set off alarms when you need to take corrective action. It eliminates guesswork - and unnecessary roof clearing. When removal operations are required, Safe Roof Systems minimize costs by indicating whether you have to clear the entire roof or just a portion where drifting or ponding may have occurred.
Of course, how much money you will save depends on a number of factors, but a Safe Roof System cost-benefit analysis can approximate your savings.
