North Central Insulation: Owner Care & Maintenance

Roof Care, Maintenance & Warranty

Roofing Systems have been designed to provide years of leak-free performance. However, as with any roof, the  Silicones Roofing System requires periodic routine maintenance in order for you to obtain optimum performance for the life of the System and to keep your Limited Warranty in full force and effect.


Following are a few simple roof maintenance guidelines and procedures to assist you in this effort:

INSPECT your roof at least TWICE a year (Spring/Fall) and after any severe storms paying particular attention to:

1. DEBRIS: Bag and remove all debris from roof since this debris can be swept into drains and drains paths by rains or melting snow.

2. DRAINS: All drain areas must remain clean and free of accumulated debris to allow for proper water run off  and to avoid overloading roof with pond water.

3. ROOF MAINTENANCE ITEMS: Counter flashings, metal curbs, drains, pipes, equipment and curbs, skylights/roof hatches, etc. must be properly maintained and kept in a sealed, watertight condition at all times. Temporary repairs can be made with Silpruf sealant manufactured by  Silicones. DO NOT USE ROOFING CEMENT OR OTHER SEALANTS. Notify your  Silicones Qualified Applicator IN WRITING of any such repairs.

4.  WALKWAYS: Walkways should be provided if there is regular foot traffic or if roof top equipment has a regular (30 day, or less) maintenance schedule. Placement of walkways is recommended to and from areas requiring regular maintenance. Contact your  Silicones Qualified Applicator for specific recommendations. Exercise caution when NOT walking on walkways since ice/frost buildup on silicone membrane may not be readily visible.

NEW EQUIPMENT: If new equipment is to be installed (i.e. HVAC units, TV antennas, etc.) or if any other PHYSICAL alterations will be made to your roof, YOU MUST contact either your  Silicones Qualified Applicator or  Silicones in writing BEFORE PROCEEDING!

WHAT TO DO IF YOU EXPERIENCE A LEAK - - - - - - CHECK FOR THE OBVIOUS!

Make sure that the leak is NOT caused by faulty or defective plumbing, metal duct work, skylights/roof hatches, curbs, etc. BEFORE contacting your  Silicones Qualified Applicator. Once you are reasonably sure that the Roofing System is the cause of the leak, contact your  Silicones Qualified Applicator in writing to remedy the problem. But remember, THE COST OF INVESTIGATION AND REPAIR OF LEAKS WHICH ARE OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF THE WARRANTY ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER.


The preceding requirements are offered to assist you, the building owner, in maintaining a watertight roof for many years. Remember, your roof is an investment. To maximize the return on this investment, routine maintenance is essential.
