Signs You Need Commercial Roof Repairs
Minor damage to your roof can go unnoticed if you don’t know what to look out for. Not all roof damage is obvious, and it’s important to know the warning signs so you can repair your roof quickly.
Ignoring minor issues such as these can have serious consequences in the long run. A minor roof leak can quickly spread into significant water damage to your roof, building structure, insulation, ventilation, and even the electrical system in your walls. Repairing minor roof damage when it occurs will prevent even more costly roof replacements in the future.
Common signs that your business’ roof needs repairs include the following:
Leaks:
Leaks can be addressed and repaired during regular inspections and preventive maintenance
Cracking:
Older asphalt roofing systems eventually shrink and crack.
Ponding:
If standing water remains for more than 48 hours, it can threaten the structural integrity of any roof.
Punctures:
Unnecessary foot traffic can cause damage and membrane punctures.
Tenting, blow-offs, and billowing:
This occurs when the roof isn’t properly adhered, and it can be prevented by hiring an experienced, qualified roofing contractor.
