Commercial roofs are subject to various issues that can be costly and difficult to diagnose. Fortunately, with the proper roof maintenance and repair plan, many of these problems can be avoided or corrected before they become too severe.
Common problems with commercial roofs include:
-Leaky seals
-Punctures and cracks in the membrane
-Missing flashing or inadequate insulation around rooftop equipment
-Poor drainage systems
-Moss or algae growth on the surface of the roofing material (especially in shaded areas)
-Standing water from snowmelt or ice buildup on flat surfaces
Leaks are one of the most common problems for commercial roofs, as aging materials may let moisture seep into your building structure. Commercial buildings are particularly vulnerable due to their size and complexity. Multiple membrane layers often make it challenging to pinpoint leaks until they’ve caused significant damage throughout your property interior.
Commercial sealants also have trouble adhering when exposed to extreme temperatures, leading to gaps forming between pieces—particularly around vents, chimneys, and other areas where ventilation is necessary.
Punctures or cracks in a membrane may arise over time due to wear and tear from hail storms and other severe weather. The damage becomes more likely if your building has an older asphalt shingle roof. Additionally, improper installation of rooftop equipment can lead to heat loss and water damage if the flashing or insulation surrounding it is inadequate.
