Common Signs and Symptoms of Poorly Implemented Flat Roof Repair
By its very nature, a flat roof will require constant attention from the property owner or manager. Scheduling regular inspections by a certified flat roof contractor, annually or preferably on a semi-annual basis should be the norm, along with adhering to a need to address any requisite repair work as urgently as possible.
A lack of adequate maintenance and repair, in tandem with repeated exposure to weather extremes, can result in these common flat roof problems, listed in no particular order:
- Sagging
- Water pooling
- Seam separation
- Algae/moss growth
- Detached membranes
- Exposure of felt layers
- Leaks of unknown origin
- Expansion or contraction
- Dried/cracked caulking/seals
- Natural (storm-related) damage
- Blisters and erosion of gravel
- Accidental (people-related) damage
When these types of problems are identified or encountered, property owners, in their haste to minimize any leaks or water damage and/or save on repair costs, may use the services of a roofing contractor that may not have the skill and expertise needed to fix or replace a flat roof.
There are a number of common signs that will alert property owners or managers to the fact that their flat roof issues were not addressed or completed appropriately, including:
- A recurrence of the same issue in the same location on the flat roof
- The same problem returns in a more magnified or intensified manner
- Shoddy workmanship – overt signs of hasty work or sub-par materials
For the sake of expediency and perhaps saving a few dollars, using a contractor lacking the skills and experience to adequately repair a flat roof can either perpetuate issues or generate additional problems – not to mention have residual effects on maintenance budgets plus demand that time be invested in an effort to reach a satisfactory resolution with that contractor.
For all of these reasons, owners/managers of flat roof structures would be well advised to engage the services of a certified and reputable flat roof contractor such as Avenue Road Roofing.
