Signs You Need a New Roof

Damage can occur to any type of roofing material. Minor issues such as fractures and fiber splits might lead to more severe issues if left untreated.

A roofing professional is an essential component when assessing the extent of roof damage or wear. The sooner an expert can take a look, the sooner you can start looking into your options. A Walter professional can investigate your facility and see if you need a new roof. There are many different types of commercial roofs, and the issues you encounter could vary depending on type of commercial roofing material, including:

• Parapet walls and expansion: A parapet is the portion of an exterior wall that continues above the surface of the roof membrane. Weaknesses include lap joints, cracks and breaks that can occur over time and cause damage to the building structure.
• Asphalt Roof surface: This type of roof surface can become dry, causing deterioration of membranes or coatings. Splits, cracks, and delamination can occur. Old coatings and old membranes can become worn and heated from hot weather conditions, creating roof blistering.
• Modified roof surface: Susceptible to wear by ultraviolet light, which could lead to cracking. Overlapping field and parapet joints can begin to separate during long periods of time. Lap failure allows water to seep membrane.
• TPO surface membrane: Shrinking, and drying create “tenting”. Open lap seams to parapet walls and curbing’s. TPO surface can deteriorate are ware from its original factory mills of “0.45 – 0”60”. Hand welded areas and patches may be susceptible to lap openings allowing water to penetrate.
• EPDM membrane: This material can become dry over time creating holes and tears in membrane. Tenting may occur along flashings and parapets.
• Metal roof: Galvanized coating can wear over time, allowing panels to rust. Rubber washers around fasteners can become brittle.

Tears, breaks, or cracks in roofing material could lead to an array of moisture buildup, mold/mildew, infestations, and other major health or safety hazards.
