Flat roofs are common for commercial properties due to their cost-effectiveness and easy access for maintenance. However, they can be prone to issues like ponding water, cracking, and membrane damage. During maintenance visits, we thoroughly inspect for signs of water pooling, ensure proper drainage, and check for punctures or cracks in the roof membrane. We also inspect seams and flashings to prevent leaks and ensure the roof remains watertight.
Metal roofing is a popular choice for commercial buildings due to its durability and energy efficiency. However, without regular maintenance, metal roofs can experience issues like rust, corrosion, loose fasteners, and damaged seams. Our maintenance services for metal roofs include inspecting for rust spots, resealing joints, tightening fasteners, and ensuring the roof panels remain secure. We also address any areas where the protective coating may have worn away to prevent long-term damage.
Thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) and ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) are both popular single-ply membrane systems used on commercial flat roofs. These materials offer excellent waterproofing and energy efficiency, but they require regular maintenance to ensure they remain effective. We inspect TPO and EPDM roofs for signs of punctures, tears, or seam separation, and we ensure that the membranes are properly adhered to the roof deck. We also check for UV damage and clean the roof surface to maintain its reflective properties, which help reduce energy costs.
While less common on large commercial buildings, shingle roofing is often used on smaller commercial properties or mixed-use buildings. Shingles can become damaged due to high winds, heavy rains, or prolonged exposure to the elements. During maintenance visits, we inspect for missing, cracked, or curling shingles, as well as check the flashing and underlayment for signs of water intrusion. We also look for signs of algae or moss growth, which can compromise the roof’s integrity if not addressed.
