Flat Roof Repair
Thermal Shock – Rapid temperature changes can cause the roofing materials to expand and contract quickly, potentially leading to buckling, warping, cracking, or other forms of damage.
Ponding Water – The flat design can cause water to accumulate in specific areas, which, over time, may break down the roofing material and lead to leaks.
Poor Workmanship and Sealing – The quality of the installation is crucial. Poor workmanship during installation or repairs can result in material failure or premature breakdown.
General Weathering – Like any material, flat roofs will deteriorate over time and require regular maintenance, repair, and upkeep.
Metal Roofing Repair
We also specialize in metal roof renovation! Since most modern metal roofs are made from corrugated galvanized steel, it’s crucial to have expert knowledge of their strengths, weaknesses, and unique characteristics for proper repairs and renovations.
Although metal roofs are sturdy and durable, they do have certain vulnerabilities:
- Leaks can develop due to improper sealing, poor workmanship, or the effects of time and aging.
- Seam failure, if left unsealed or unrepaired, can result in water damage.
- Oxidation is inevitable over time, and if not addressed, can lead to system failure.
- Flashing issues may arise from poor installation or weather damage, causing it to lift or separate.
- Panel damage from wind, hail, or severe weather can cause catastrophic roof failure.
- Improper installation of fasteners, missing underlayment, or poorly installed piping must be corrected to ensure long-term protection.
Spray Foam Roofing Repair
Spray foam roofing is a popular choice due to its consistency, insulation, durability, and low maintenance requirements. However, like any roofing material, spray foam has its own potential challenges:
Installation Limitations – Spray foam can only be applied in certain weather conditions. It requires a warm, dry day with minimal wind to ensure proper installation.
Overspray – There is a risk of foam overspray during application, which not only wastes material but can also damage surrounding property.
Maintenance – While spray foam requires less upkeep than other roofing systems, it still needs regular inspections, especially after severe weather like hail or strong winds, to check for punctures or damage.
Cost – Although spray foam roofing is more cost-effective over time, the initial installation can be relatively expensive.
