Roof maintenance is a critical aspect of building maintenance. Failure to take care of your commercial roof could mean profit loss or a bad reputation. By inspecting and maintaining your roof, you can detect issues and avoid further damage, which could be expensive to repair.
That said, you should always be on the lookout for any problems with your roofing. Summit Roofing & Restoration, Inc., a reputable roofing contractor, lists some telltale signs that your commercial roof is in trouble.
Roof Holes and Seam Gaps
Obviously, if your roof has holes, this could mean leaks and water infiltration. Make sure to get these fixed ASAP to ensure that your interior and the rest of your roofing system won’t be affected. Furthermore, look out for seam gaps as well. Typically, these issues are caused by shoddy installation, normal wear, or neglect.
Warping
Distortion on your roofing may be due to aging or normal deterioration or improper installation. More specifically, this occurs when moisture is able to permeate and collect under a single-ply roof, resulting in uneven surfaces and low spots. Make sure to carry out a roof repair immediately. Or if your roof is already near the end of its suggested life span, you might want to start planning for roof replacement.
Water Stains
Water stains on your walls and ceilings may be caused by plumbing issues. But in other cases, they can be due to a leaking roof. These water stains typically appear as brownish spots on ceiling tiles, so once you notice them, better call an expert to conduct an inspection.
