We have become dependent on the new version, the new release and the new breakthrough. The pace with which we operate, coupled with devices and distractions in our personal and work lives makes it easy to overlook some important elements. As the adage goes, “out of sight and out of mind.” We are consumed with our immediate surroundings and rightfully so. They take precedent because we interact on this level and must maintain standards for safety and aesthetics. These initiatives may meet our own expectations and serve us daily but when an area outside of our immediate surrounding fails, we learn the hard way. The roof, the flashing, the scuppers, oh my. We expect these elements of our property to perform but that requires proactive maintenance which some simply forget to consider when roofing systems seem daunting. This area is difficult to access and assess without the help of a professional and the technology that serves them.
