What is the best practice for recording roofing continuity tests?

Recording roofing continuity tests on a quarterly basis is considered best practice because it ensures consistent monitoring of the system's integrity and performance. Quarterly testing allows for regular assessment of the roofing system, enabling identification of potential issues before they escalate into major problems. This systematic approach helps in maintaining the roofing system’s reliability and longevity, ensuring that any degradation or failure can be promptly addressed.

Yearly assessments may not provide the frequency necessary to catch issues that could arise in between those annual checks, making it less effective for ongoing maintenance. While random daily inspections might seem thorough, they lack the consistent methodology and documentation that quarterly tests offer, which can lead to missed opportunities for systematic evaluations. Scheduled equipment updates, though important for maintaining equipment efficiency, do not directly pertain to the continuous assessment and documentation of roofing systems. Therefore, focusing on quarterly tests provides a balanced and proactive approach to roofing maintenance.
