Common Commercial Roofing Problems
What are some common issues Commercial roofing experiences?
The first line of defense against the elements is your commercial building's roof. You can help maintain your roof in good shape for longer by understanding the different types of problems it could have and investing in timely and complete roof repair.
These are the most common problems commercial roofs face:
Leaks and Excessive Moisture
Both residential and business roofs are susceptible to leaks. While a leak can be caused by a variety of factors, incorrect flashing detail fastening is a prevalent culprit in commercial buildings. Constant exposure to water can lead to excessive moisture buildup, which accelerates the roof's deterioration.
Blow-Offs, Tenting and Billowing
Open seams and laps in the roof can also be caused by improperly fitted flashing. Blow-offs happen when your building is impacted by strong winds. Inadequate drying on the roofing system might also result in reduced wind resistance.
Poor Installation
Working with knowledgeable, competent roofers from the start is critical. Otherwise, you risk having inferior workmanship and faulty installation. These two elements may cause roofing issues in the future, necessitating costly repairs or perhaps premature replacement.
Lack of Maintenance
One of the most critical components of roof maintenance is sticking to a strict maintenance schedule. As a result, you'll be able to spot and fix small roofing issues before they worsen and cause serious damage. It also helps to increase the life of your roof.
