Roof Damage

Choosing Repairs for Commercial Buildings Regular maintenance can detect roofing problems that can worsen rapidly. Moisture contributes to rot, seepage and mold that can damage interior walls, insulation, ceilings, equipment and inventory that prompt attention can prevent. Repairs to commercial roofing systems for apartments, businesses, churches, hotels, offices and other structures can extend a roof's life span and prevent unnecessary expense. A repair consists of a visual inspection by a commercial roofing business, removal of damaged roofing material, replacement with owner's choice of covering and tests for leaks.

Wind damage is often over looked by home owners and can lead to expensive repairs and if it is left unchecked, this is why we recommend having your roof inspected once a year for damage. Poorly installed flashing can cause blow-offs and tenting allowing seams can open up and wind to blow underneath the shingles. When wind damage is addressed quickly it can often be repaired with little cost to the home owner. Some of the signs of a wind damaged roof are loose or missing shingles, curling or peeling shingles, damaged soffits or fascia and indoor leaks. High winds can also cause tree branches to fall and damage a roof especially in winter months and during ice storms.

Buildup of snow and ice on your roof can cause it to collapse or damage the underlying structure. Ice and snow tend to accumulate on flat portions of your roof like over porches or parts of a home that are next to a taller section of the house. Throughout winter snow and ice can cause holes in your roof especially in areas where temperatures fluctuate. Just like when potholes form on the road from water freezing and expanding. The same thing can happen to your roof. Water seeps in through tiny holes or cracks on your roofs surface when the temperature reaches freezing that water expands causing rips and holes in your roofing material.

If you are aware of leaks in your roof, don’t hesitate to get it repaired. Even a small leak lets moisture in between the cracks, which spreads as far as it can into your roofing material. Then, this moisture expands and contracts with temperature changes, widening the opening in your roof. This deterioration spreads quickly, weakening the integrity of your roof. The longer you wait, the more dangerous it becomes and the more expensive it is to fix. If you aren’t aware of any leaks, check for dripping next time it rains. Don’t overlook the attic, as many homeowners do.

Wind and Ice storms can cause trees and other natural debris to fall on your roof. This can sometimes cause cracks in your shingles that can eventually lead to leaks.
