As a business owner, you probably have many maintenance tasks on your to-do list, and it can be hard to keep track of it all. However, there are some things that, if left ignored, might cause big issues. One of those things is your commercial roof.
Scheduling prompt commercial roof repair services can address a variety of problems brought on by aging, weathering, or structural damage. Catching small issues early on can help you save money, preserve the structural integrity of your roof, and ensure that everyone inside your building remains safe and sound.
In this blog, our team will go over a few common commercial roof repair tasks we can effectively handle.
- Leaks: Fixing leaks is one of the most common commercial roof repair services that we provide. A leak may be the result of sealant degradation, punctures in the roofing membrane, or broken flashing. Unaddressed leaks can potentially cause structural damage to the roof, in addition to causing water damage within the building.
- Ponding Water: Water that collects and improperly drains off low-slope commercial roofs is known as ponding water. This may happen because of poor roof installation, sinking roof tiles, or clogged gutters. Ponding water can cause roofs to wear out faster, resulting in leaks, mold growth, and structural damage.
- Blow-Offs and Uplift: Roofing materials may peel off the roof due to strong winds, causing blow-offs or uplift. This increases the possibility of leaks and additional damage by exposing the roof’s underlying layers to the weather. To reduce blow-offs, proper installation methods and routine maintenance are recommended.
- Membrane Damage: The roofing membrane, which offers UV protection and waterproofing, is an essential part of commercial roofs. Tears, punctures, blisters, and other types of damage to the membrane can reduce its effectiveness and cause leaks and other problems.
