Roof ponding is an insidious problem, in that the first occurrence will lead to another, and then another. By forming a partnership with a reputable commercial roofing company can you avoid flat roof ponding and preserve the integrity of your building’s roof.
Teamwork
At BELDON®, we recognize that no one person, whether facilities manager or roofing specialist, can do enough to keep a roof in prime condition. Our crews work in teams, and we feel the team approach is a good fit with customers. We recommend an ongoing partnership with your roofer so when you see water pooling on your roof, you know how to deal with it. The strategy involves four strands:
- Professional Inspections
- Monitoring Devices
- Engineering Adjustments
- Emergency Services
Professional Inspections
Arrange for regular (annual or biannual) flat roof inspections. A commercial roofer can recognize signs of flat roof ponding and help preserve your insulation, layers, and finish coat of your roof. Water pooling on a roof can compress insulation, leading to a low spot, which leads to more roof ponding. Professional inspections can prevent this and more:
- Increase roof life
- Improve drainage
- Identify potential leak hazards
- Reduce energy costs
Monitoring Devices
Short of hiring someone to stand on the roof all day, you cannot guarantee your roof’s condition. Fortunately you can, with monitoring devices, keep an eye on the roof and spot flat roof ponding quickly. A roof sensor and an edge defense system can sense water loads while preventing dangerous falls.
