Roofing

If you take a look at a map showing the intense sunlight beating down on Texas on any given day, you immediately understand why low slope roofing often fails. All that solar energy is great if you have solar panels to collect free electricity, but on an open, bare, low-slope roof, the sun’s heat and ultraviolet light destroys the very chemicals sealing your roof. Not only does sunlight lead to failed roofing, but also ponding, blunt force impacts from wind-borne debris, and other natural calamities can shorten the lifespan of even the best low-slope roofing.

I See Nothing

Ignoring your commercial roof does not mean problems disappear. When you fail to have your low-slope roof inspected at least annually, problems pile up. A clogged drain leads to leaks. Intense San Antonio sunlight leads to crazing and cracking.

Make sure your building’s roof is inspected by a qualified commercial roofing company at least annually (twice a year is better). A single separating seam can be the start of failed roofing that shuts down your business, if it is not caught and corrected quickly.

Prompt Perfection

With a twice-yearly inspection program through a reputable, skilled commercial roofer, no problem can go undetected more than six months. This means the sun damage of August does not lead to wintertime water infiltration.

Inspection, of course, is just the precursor to prompt repair in all areas of your roof:

– Seams
– Drainage
– Parapet
– Flashing
– fastenings
– Waterproof coatings
– Points where rooftop add-ons contact the roof

Imagine a small piece of metal that has come partially loose from some rooftop add-on, like a satellite dish, HVAC frame or window-washing rig. The wind pushes it back and forth across your roof ballast. That constant abrasion can cause water leaks, damage to insulation, and, eventually, failed roofing.

Prompt repair usually costs significantly less than waiting for a single large repair call, even if your commercial roofing partner has to come out three or four times in the year. A small crew can take a short time to fix small problems, while larger issues require bigger crews for more time. Labor and time costs climb significantly for larger jobs.
