4 Repairs that Can Keep Your Commercial Roof Last Longer
A roof is a fairly complicated network of systems. If your roof is acting up and you need to assess if there’s a repair or replacement job in order, do so with the assistance of a seasoned expert. Contact Reroof America Contractors for a thorough analysis of your present commercial roofing situation. Always remember not to delay hiring a commercial roofing company once you see damage to the exterior of your roof or even something as seemingly inconspicuous as water spots on the inside of your facility.
Repairs Commonly Carried Out in Commercial Roofing
Shingles
In any roof, the shingles are the first line of defense against the weather. One of the first and earliest signs of shingle damage is granule loss. As shingles bald, water will be able to penetrate more easily in the absence of granules that help carry water from the roof to the eaves trough.
On the other hand, curling, cracking, broken, shrunken, and missing shingles should raise the alarm. It indicates that the decking isn't completely covered, which again will allow water to seep into the wood and cause rot, eventually turning into a breeding ground for mold.
Flashings
Commercial roofing professionals in Denver, CO, use galvanized steel or zinc alloys to seal around chimneys, dormers, walls, and any other point where the roof meets a vertical plane. Not every contractor is up to the task, and occasionally you may find the flashing has a failed seal and lifts. That’s all it takes for water to enter the roofing system. Realize that poor workmanship is only followed by expensive repairs.
Gutters
The rainwater that collects on your roof is channeled to the ground through the gutters that are present at the edge of your roof. The problem is they also tend to pick up any debris on the roof, including twigs, leaves, and other objects. This, in turn, builds up in the channels and jams the passage.
Your gutters aren't made to hold a lot of weight, and if the material becomes wet, it gets heavier and freezes in cold weather. To keep your gutters performing at their best, Reroof America Contractors suggests cleaning them twice a year, concurrent with your routine roof inspection.
Leakage
Any commercial roofing system that leaks will show indicators such as pooling, interior stains, water puddles on the floor, or a stream of water on the walls. A building owner should be informed of hidden damage when stains or water start to show. Once issues have been located, you will require the assistance of a qualified commercial roofing contractor to locate the leak and carry out the necessary repairs to prevent water damage to your establishment.
