Roofing

Ponds are lovely little things. On golf courses, in public parks or even your own Texas backyard, ponds brighten the landscape and provide refuge for birds and beasts. On your flat roof, however, ponds—and ponding—are the stuff of nightmares. A flat roof leak begins, often, with ponding, and can lead to expense, misery and ruined inventory for your Texas business. Water infiltration is the slow, steady and stealthy saboteur responsible for many a flat roof leak.

Water Infiltration

Ponding is the collection of water in low places on your roof deck. When BELDON Roofing Company puts down a single-ply membrane or APP/SBS roof, we follow the geography of the roof deck already in place. To fight ponding, we can use polyiso insulation and other materials to build up low spots here and there. Largely, though, the roof construction dictates the final slope of your roof, no matter the roofing material.

While ponding is often the reason for water to infiltrate your business’s flat roof, it is not the only source:

  • Seam failure
  • Blocked drains and scuppers
  • Flashing issues—Attachment failure, corrosion, physical movement
  • Separation of roofing layers
  • Blunt impact from equipment, tools or even just work boots

Stealth

Water is stealthy, since it moves to the lowest point. So the seam separation at the back corner of your company’s roof may allow water to enter and travel horizontally far from that flat roof leak, then drip down through deck boards, past roofing joists and suddenly appear directly above expensive electronics inside the occupied space.

Often a small, flat roof leak goes unnoticed until the little problem becomes a major repair. Water infiltration sets up ripe conditions for mold, mildew and weakened structural members. A single flat roof leak also gives insects and other invasive pests ideal living conditions.

High and Dry

Solve your business’s water woes by having mprofessional roofing inspection and maintenance performed regularly. BELDON Roofing Company’s crews are equipped to track down and repair even the smallest flat roof leak.
