The roof of your commercial or industrial structure is more than just a covering. It’s an asset that protects your employees, customers, equipment, and inventory. Commercial and industrial roofs present different challenges than residential ones due to their complexity, size, and materials (often low-slope or flat) and the presence heavy equipment. To ensure its integrity, you need specialized knowledge and experience. Professional Industrial and Commercial Roofing Services are essential.
MM Roofing understands the importance of your roof. We provide comprehensive Industrial and Commercial Roofing Services to meet the needs of industrial and business facilities. This article explains the importance of these roofing services, and how Roof Repair provides reliable solutions.
Understanding the unique demands of commercial & industrial roofs
Why can’t a commercial roof be treated like a big house roof? They are distinct for several reasons:
- Design The majority of commercial and industrial buildings have flat or low slope roofs. These roofs require different materials and drain systems than pitched roofs on residential homes. Poor drainage can cause serious problems, such as ponding of water.
- Size and Scale: Due to the sheer size of the roofs, problems can quickly escalate. Repairs or replacements will be more expensive.
- Materials Commercial roofs often use materials such as TPO, EPDM and PVC. Modified Bitumen and Built-Up Roofing are also common. Each material requires specific maintenance and repairs.
- Penetrations and Equipment: Vents, pipes and skylights are all roof penetrations that can cause leaks when not properly sealed and flashed.
- Foot traffic: For the maintenance of rooftop equipment on some commercial roofs, there is a regular footfall. This requires durable surfaces and careful examination of pathways.
- Codes and Regulations: Commercial roofs are often subjected to stricter safety regulations and building codes.
Industrial and Commercial Roofing Services: Common Problems that Require Expert Services
Our experience at Roof Repair has shown that commercial and industrial buildings often encounter roofing problems.
- Moisture intrusion and leaks: Most often caused by damaged flashings, seams or membrane punctures.
- Ponding water: Standing Water on Flat Roofs.
- Membrane damage: Splitting, blistering, or tearing the roof membrane as a result of age, weathering UV exposure or impact.
- Flashing Failures Leaks are caused by damaged or improperly installed flashing at roof edges, wall penetrations and around roof edges.
- Storm damage: High wind, hail and heavy rain may cause significant damage ranging from membrane punctures to roof lifting.
- Wear and Tear of Materials: With time, materials degrade due to exposure to the elements, requiring maintenance and eventually replacement.
Ignoring the signs could lead to extensive damage from water, mold, compromised structural integrity and damaged inventory. This can result in expensive repairs and disruptions of operations.
