Houston, TX – Common Problems That Can Be Fixed by Flat Roof Repair Company

BY: Rickey Evans, Certified Commercial Roofing

Because of their different design, flat roofing systems may require different types of repairs than other roofing systems.  Regular inspections and maintenance are required to keep commercial roofs in proper working order and to increase the lifespan of these types of roofs.  Be sure to keep on top of flat roof repair to keep everything functioning as it should.

Pooling Water

A flat roof doesn’t have the slope of normal roofing structures.  For this reason, water may pool in dips in the roof.  Most flat roof material is designed to hold up under standing water, but it’s still a good idea to address the issue as soon as possible before damage occurs.

Alligatoring

Alligatoring is a term that means your roof is bubbling and cracking like alligator skin.  Hence the name.  When this happens, a roof is usually beyond repair, meaning that replacement is necessary.

Leaking

This is the most common type of flat roof repair issue that commercial roofs have.  Because of their flat  design, water doesn’t have anywhere to go.  Lingering moisture can find ways under the top layer and into the building.  Moisture of any kind will cause deterioration.  Anytime a flat roof shows signs of leaking it is a good idea to have the roof inspected and repaired as soon as possible.

Cracks

Flat roofing systems are more prone to pressure.  When pressure builds up, it puts pressure on the roof and can cause it to crack.  If this does happen, immediate attention is required.  Call upon roofing professional to make the necessary repairs.

Buckling Membranes

The membrane on a flat roof is all one piece, unlike shingles on houses.  Over time, settling occurs which causes buildings to shift.  This can lead to buckling in roofing systems.  Buckling can lead to major problems, which is why is it a sign that your roof is at the end of its life.  When buckling occurs, replacement may be the only option.

Taking care of your commercial roof is the best way to extend its lifespan.  Regular maintenance and inspection is the best way to take care of repairs quickly and efficiently.  Certified Commercial Roofing in Houston can help.  Call us today for more information.
