It may not always be necessary to climb up to your commercial building’s roof to ascertain that your roof is in need of repair or maintenance. There are many signs that can show themselves throughout your building that point to the need for commercial roofing service from the experts at David’s Roofing! Recognizing these early signs of roof damage could help prevent a small problem from growing into something much more costly.
Moisture Problems
Condensation can ruin your building’s control systems if not dealt with. If moisture builds up in your roof, there is a chance that it will enter the structure and short out significant portions of the hardware. Signs of water entering by way of a roof can be the presence of water stains on ceilings, high humidity, and increases in insect or rodent populations.
Escalating Energy Bills
When you notice that your business’ energy bills have been steadily increasing it could be due to the fact that your commercial roof has begun underperforming. It’s possible that your roof has lost some of its reflectivity, which in turn forces your HVAC system to work harder to maintain comfortable working temperatures. This can be a significant money drain, especially during the warmer months of the year.
Sagging Portions of the Roof
The presence of sagging or low spots is an indicator that there’s a problem just below the top surface of your commercial roof. It’s likely that previous ponding (water that remains on your roof for a significant amount of time) could have compressed the roofing insulation, or a deck joist could be damaged.
Damaged or Flimsy Flashing
If you do manage to get up onto your roof to inspect for damage, you should check the flashings, especially at roof piercings and where your roof may change levels. If there are gaps present, or if metal flashings are dislodged or missing, contact David’s Roofing right away for commercial roof repair services.
