Flat roofs require a stronger maintenance plan than other types of roofing as well as a company that has experience installing flat roofs. As a result, more time and a higher quality of resources are required while installing a flat roof. On the other hand, finding a high-quality reliable roofing company can be difficult. Even when an installation is performed, regular checkups and maintenance are required. Do not worry, if you have a commercial or industrial building in Carbondale, Colorado, Quality Cool Roof Solutions is here to help you with every stage of your flat roofing system project. To arrange your free inspection, call (970) 250-4582. Even with frequent maintenance inspections, you will still end up with damage from storms, high winds, or from time. However, having us look for indicators of early damage as soon as possible will save you time and money. The following is a list of five common damages:
Moisture
If your flat roof is not impermeable, it might lead to humidity, which can cause water stains on your ceiling or serve as a breeding ground for those insects that prefer damp environments, such as mosquitoes. Water lines can easily be seen on your walls and penetrate the insulation on your roof. Mold and mildew grow in damp insulation, which will make you and your employees sick for what would seem to be no reason.
Water Pooling
Pooling water is expected on a flat roof, especially during the rainy season. Failure to have a properly working draining system will lead to serious issues for a flat roofing system. A clogged drainage system stops the water from draining off the roof properly, which will eventually cause leaks and damage to the membrane of the roof.
A Damaged or Exposed Undercoat
The undercoat is less weather-resistant and is exposed after the outermost tar and stone layer has been pulled away or lifted. The area needs to be fixed as soon as possible so that the undercoat does not get torn, which will lead to harder-to-fix problems in the future.
Cracks, Blisters, or Bubbling
Higher temperatures can cause blistering, cracking, or bubbling of the flat roof’s membrane. If you see any of these signs, your roof membrane must be repaired or replaced without delay. Even if there are only a few spots on your roof that are damaged, you should get them fixed quickly. If the damage is widespread, however, it would be best to have your roof completely replaced.
Damaged Flashing
One of the most crucial components of a flat roof system is its flashing. The metal flashing around vents and chimneys will eventually rust, which can cause serious leaks that lead to water damage that needs to be fixed right away.
