Proactive Roof Asset Management & Leak Response to Uphold Warranties & Reduce Repair Cost
Client Background
A leading international food manufacturer operating across the eastern United States faced mounting roof leaks in its production facilities. With strict FDA food safety regulations at stake, the company needed a trusted partner to mitigate operational risks and protect its reputation. The urgency was clear: any disruption could lead to compliance violations and costly downtime.
Challenge
Roof leaks were creating significant operational challenges, threatening production continuity and food safety compliance. The client needed a proactive solution to stabilize roof conditions, prevent escalating repair costs, and ensure that warranties remained intact.
Solution
Mantis Innovation developed a comprehensive roof asset management program tailored to the client’s needs. This program included annual roof assessments designed to identify potential issues before they became critical, predictive maintenance strategies to extend roof life, and repair services that ensured warranty compliance. In addition, Mantis provided roof design and bid support to optimize project planning, managed all projects to guarantee timely and cost-effective execution, and delivered construction quality assurance for long-term durability. Internal protections safeguarded operations during repairs, while a 24/7/365 leak response service ensured immediate resolution of any issues.
Results & Impact
Through consistent assessments and rapid leak response, the client achieved stabilized roof conditions across all properties. The overall health of the roofs improved significantly thanks to predictive maintenance and timely repairs. By upholding warranties and managing projects with precision, Mantis helped the client avoid substantial repair costs. Most importantly, the program enhanced operational reliability and ensured compliance with FDA standards, protecting both production and brand integrity.
The program has been ongoing since 2019 and covers 34 properties, with more than 12 million square feet of roof area assessed. These efforts have delivered measurable cost savings and long-term performance improvements, reinforcing the value of proactive asset management.
