Flat Roofing Repairs
Flat roofing systems are the standard for commercial properties from schools, hospitals, supermarkets, shopping centers, hotels and factories. Unlike sloped roofs, flat roofs do not discharge stored rainfall easily. A flat roof can give you years of energy savings and protection, but flat roofs still have some of their own distinct characteristics.
Make sure you maintain your roof periodically so that it lasts longer. Unlike sloped roofs, flat roofs do not discharge stored rainfall easily. Despite the fact that flat roofs have a wide range of advantages and applications, their lifespan is typically only about ten years, and they need to be maintained frequently to remain safe and functional.
Leaking is the most frequent issue with flat roofs. Leaks can be caused by environmental causes such as UV radiation or extreme weather, out-dated roofing technology or poor installation, rooftop equipment placed by unqualified contractors, and standing water on the roofing surface. Any of these instances can and will lead to problems that can be costly if not caught in time.
Advantages of a flat roof
- Reduced construction and repair expenses
- Accessible, versatile, and easy to clean
- Flat roofs affordable to install and are energy efficient
Disadvantages of a flat roof
- Shorter lifespan of typically 10-15 years
- Drainage issues due to water puddling
- Can be unreliable in wet and cold climates
For this reason, we recommend having a professional perform a roof inspection twice a year, and as needed after severe storms.
