Common Commercial Roofing Problems
Normal wear and tear and extreme weather conditions can cause even the most durable roofing materials to fail over time.
Even hot, sunny Texas weather can cause problems. Sunlight can eventually break down the components of your roof, and heavy winds and rain can cause leaks or even tear off compromised sections of your roof.
If you notice damaged areas of your roof or water inside your property, contact the expert roofers at NewRüf right away. We’ll perform an inspection, pinpoint the source of the problem, and quickly provide the necessary repairs.
Here are some common issues with commercial roofs:
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.
