If you’re a School Administrator, then you know how important it is to keep all of your facilities functional and safe. But—all too often—severe weather gets in the way, causing leakage, which compromises your facilities.

When damage happens to buildings, school corporations are left scrambling to find qualified, experienced contractors to repair buildings. Time is of the essence, yet it is often difficult to get contractors to respond. When multiple disciplines are required (flood restoration, roofing, windows, heating/air conditioning), the headache is multiplied.

If you’re trying out a new contractor, how do you know if they’re overbilling you—or suggesting repairs that aren’t necessary? In the event that they don’t fix the problem, will they return to fix it under warranty? These are just a few of the problems that Superintendents face. But it doesn’t have to be this difficult.

In the event that you already have go-to contractors, are you confident that they have your best interest in mind? Do you have confidence that they aren’t charging you more hourly than they should? If they suggest additional work, are you sure that they aren’t just wanting to make more money?

RoofSMART can offer you a free second opinion. We have discovered things like contractors suggesting a new roof, when in reality only 10% needs replaced. Another contractor unnecessarily charged a school system for 3 trip charges and excessive materials. Let us serve as a second set of eyes for you.

RoofSMART understands the challenges school corporations face, which is why we’re part of the solution. Let’s take a look at the future of leak management and how it will transition this tedious process to be in favor of schools instead of contractors.

Centralized Support

Instead of calling a dozen contractors and waiting on pins and needles for a reply, Moisture Management’s centralized support can streamline the process. When water issues happen, you make one call to a 24-hour hotline that has a network of trustworthy professionals (You then get to take advantage of our discounted rates). RoofSMART takes the reins from there, securing a contractor to meet your needs. A specialist is dispatched to your location within 8 to 72 hours. Your issue gets fixed, and you get one bill in return, regardless of how many problems are fixed or where they are located. Moisture Management’s centralized support then reviews the contractor’s work and invoice to ensure that you aren’t taken advantage of. We are the experts, so you don’t have to be.

Online Database

After every service, a digital report is created in an online database that you have access to. You can view before/after photos and read a detailed report of the work that was done. The database stores drawings of your roof with red dots to show where leaks were located. (Clicking on the dots allows you to view the closeout report.)

In the event that future leaks occur in the same location, you may be covered with a warranty, which centralized support will completely oversee. Superintendents can view all of their properties in one easy-to-use database, and reports are generated quarterly, so you can keep an eye on spending.

The future is now. If you’re ready to trade in the hassles of the old way of doing leak management, then give us a call. We’ll be happy to answer all of your questions and explain how Moisture Management can save your school district time, money, and the headache of managing your own contractors.
