Healthcare Facility Roofing Solutions
Keeping medical buildings watertight is essential. Patient care requires urgency and high safety standards to protect people, sensitive equipment and the facility itself. Let's look into unique factors to consider when installing and servicing a roof for a hospital and other healthcare facilities.
Specific Roofing Requirements for Hospital and Healthcare Facilities
Hospitals and healthcare facilities require reliable, high-performing roofs. Many of those buildings operate around the clock and demand pristine, sterile conditions for the patients, staff and state-of-the-art medical equipment. This presents a number of industry-specific challengs that set healthcare facility roofs apart and make them truly unique.
Challenges of Healthcare Industry Roofs
Roof Leaks are Absolutely Unacceptable
Water intrusion can generate conditions that allow for mold, bacterial and fungal growth, which put your staff and patients at risk. Moisture may also cause damage to the building envelope and compromise equipment and inventory.
All Roofing Projects Must be Completed with Minimal Interruption
Healthcare facilities must be accessible to patients and staff 24/7. The noise, odors and construction-related debris must be contained to preserve the comfortable, sanitary environment needed for medical procedures and patient recovery.
Multiple Rooftop Projections and Structures
HVAC units, exhaust vents, helicopter pads, communication systems and more - Healthcare facilities often have many essential components to ensure around-the-clock operation. Your roof has to be able to support all of that.
Compliance with Strict Codes, Insurance Requirements and the Joint Commission Inspections
When it comes to patient care, stakes are high. Your facility’s roof has to perform accordingly to ensure your facility is fully compliant with all safety standards.Prepare Your Facility for a Joint Commission Inspection

- ✔ Before and after photographs
