Common Problems of a Commercial Roof
There are a lot of things that can go wrong with your commercial roof and require you to seek the assistance of a professional. Whether due to poor installation, different weather extremities, foot traffic, or something else, damage will occur. Below are the most common problems with a commercial roof:
- Lack of Maintenance: Maintenance of a commercial roof is as important as an oil change for your car. Without maintenance, even small issues like tears and punctures, can turn into headaches quickly.
- Use of Improper Materials: Depending on the type of use, different commercial roofs need to be built using different materials. The types of materials your roof requires for effective protection is dependent on your roofing style and the business involved.
- Standing Water: Standing water is quite common on commercial flat roofs and is a major cause of leaks. Standing water could result from either debris, which clogs the drains, or a poor design of your roof, which doesn’t allow proper drainage of water.
- Blow-offs: Blow-offs refer to the lifting of the loose materials on your roof due to strong gusts of wind. The wind strikes your roof from the side and continues on top, creating a suction force, which ultimately causes any unfastened or poorly fastened roofing materials to come off.
- Punctures and Tears: Apart from frequent weather hazards, foot traffic is the single most common cause of punctures and tears. Note that over time, these punctures, and tears can turn into harmful leaks.
- Damaged Flashing: Over time, as the temperature changes the materials on your roof contract and expand, causing the flashing to get damaged.
