Main Reasons For Commercial Flat Roof Repair, Coating, and Replacement

Most commercial flat roof systems are built to last. However, this does not mean that they will not have any problems over time. If the roof is not properly installed and maintained problems can arise. When problems come up, what should you do to fix your commercial roof? You have a few options when it comes to fixing commercial roofing systems: roof repair, roof coating, and roof replacement. Before choosing which option will work best for you, let’s look at some of the main reasons for commercial roof repair, coating, and replacement.

Main Reasons For Commercial Flat Roof Repair, Coating, and Replacement

Age: A roof’s age can be a great indicator of which option to choose. As commercial roofs age, continuing to repair them will only do so much. Commercial roofs typically last between 15-50 years depending on the material used. If the roof is fairly new and still structurally sound, then roof repair would make sense. If the roof is old and continues to have issues, roof replacement is your best bet.


Roof Leaks: A roof leak is obviously a problem that needs to fix immediately. The next time it rains check the roof for signs of leaking and dampness. If the roof is leaking there is a possibility of water damage. If you only find an isolated leak, then you may be able to get away with minor repairs. Finding multiple leaks could mean there is a greater issue and the roof needs to be replaced.


Energy Bills: A commercial roof’s job is not only to keep the elements out. It is also to insulate the building, keeping heated and/or cooled air in. If you have noticed a jump in heating and cooling costs and you cannot figure out why, it could be your roof. Issues like these come about when the roof is not properly insulating the building.


Visible Roof Damage: If you think you have an issue with your commercial flat roof, take an afternoon to inspect it visually. Is the flashing damaged? Are there any cracks, bubbles or blisters on the membrane? Is water draining properly? These issues are all signs of a roof that needs to be replaced.
