5 Common Commercial Roof Problems and Solutions

Every commercial building needs good quality commercial roofing installed by certified professional roofers. But as with everything, even the toughest and most durable of roofing installations degrade over time, especially as they are exposed to the harshest weather conditions.

If you have a commercial building, you should at least know what the most common commercial roofing concerns are and how to solve them. Chase Roofing, LLC, shares a list to help you get started:

Problem # 1: Leaks

If you see leaks, then there’s definitely a problem with your roof. Periodic maintenance will prevent this. Checking flashings for leaks will also help. If the leak is strong, contact a roof repair expert like Chase Roofing, LLC to help you solve your problem immediately.

Problem # 2: Blow-Offs and Billowing

More common among single-ply roofing, blow-offs and billowing happens when the roofing material is not properly installed and adhered to the substrate. Contact your roofing contractor to make sure your roof stays up to code.

Problem # 3: Ponding Water

Water that ponds on your roof for a long time can pose a threat to your property’s structural integrity and, in extreme cases, might cause your roof to collapse. A working drainage system will help keep water from pooling and damaging your property. Contact your roofer for help.

Problem # 4: Punctures

Although they are durable, single-ply roofs are vulnerable to punctures and other penetrations especially if there’s heavy foot traffic. Limiting traffic, constant inspections and periodic maintenance will help prevent this from happening.

Problem # 5: Poor workmanship

Poor workmanship, either during installation or repairs, will always result in more problems. Make sure to choose certified roofing contractors with a proven track record of high-quality installations.
