You don’t have to be a roofing professional to effectively manage the basics of your roof. Just take a look-see up there — if you spy any debris, clogged drains or cause for concern such as an overhanging tree limb, plan time for removal. Yessiree, it’s that simple.

Partnering with a trained eye for thorough, regular roof surveys can uncover the deficiencies that ultimately lead to costly repairs. A [professional maintenance survey](https://www.chamberlinltd.com/proactive-roof-asset-management/) will include a good look at membrane seams and flashings, roof hatches, ladder and locking mechanisms, HVAC unit access doors and covers, plus more. Semi-annual roof surveys are also essential to staying compliant with the terms of most all Roofing Manufacturer's warranty requirements. * [*![](https://www.chamberlinltd.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/2211.png?width=700&name=2211.png)*](https://www.chamberlinltd.com/proactive-roof-asset-management/) *Ready to find out what condition your roof is in?
