Even with frequent maintenance inspections, there is a high probability you will still end up with damage that costs hundreds of dollars. 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:
Wetness
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 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 makes you and your employees sick for no reason.
Water Pooling
Pooling water is to be expected on a flat roof, especially during the wet season. Failure to drain or evaporate the water would be a clear indication of a clogged drainage system. It will stop water from draining off the roof properly, which will eventually cause leaks and damage to the membrane roof.
A Damaged or Exposed Undercoat
The undercoat is less weather-resistant and is exposed after the outermost tar and stone layer have been pulled or lifted. The area needs to be fixed as soon as possible so that the undercoat does not tear, which will lead to bigger problems in the future.
Blistering and cracks
Elevated temperatures can cause blistering, cracking, or bubbling of the flat roof’s membrane. If you see these signs, your roof membrane must be repaired or replaced immediately. Even if there are only a few spots on your roof that are damaged, you should have them fixed. If the damage is widespread, however, we will have to replace the entire membrane.
Damaged Flashing
One of the most crucial components of a flat roof system is the flashing. The metal flashing around vents and chimneys will rust, which will cause serious water damage that needs to be fixed right away.
