5. Metal Roofs Some of the ways to take care of metal roofs include: • Look for sealant failures, damage from snow or hail, dislocation of fasteners and panels, and clogged drains and gutters in the roof. • Replace fastener gaskets before the end of their service life. • Inspect sealants at perimeters and penetrations, and replace them if required. • While checking the roof, make sure that you walk over purlins and joists to avoid bending or dishing of the metal panel. • Avoid heavy foot traffic, as it may lead to scratches on the steel sheet, giving way to corrosion. • http://www.mydenverroofers.com/
