Businesses, schools, government organizations, and stores all have one thing in common: they have large roofs. Given additional space to cover, problems will probably occur at some point. With commercial roofing in south Florida, a preventative approach is especially important, as it prevents potential problems from being overlooked until it’s too late.
Storm Damage
Shingles, tiles, and insulation for roofs can be damaged or destroyed by bad weather. Water spots and pools may appear on the deck once the melted snow and ice get through the underlayment. If you see water drops on the walls, there is a leak that needs to be fixed immediately. When a roof has a lot of water damage, it may finally sag. This problem won’t happen if the building is stable and strong and if expert roofing contractors from a company such as Dezigns Construction, Inc., use the proper materials when installing your roof.
Improper Drainage
Improper drainage can lead to numerous problems with commercial roofing in south Florida. The gutters are supposed to move water away from the building. If they can’t, the water will back up and overflow. Water that doesn’t move can seep through the roof and cause leaks that lead to mold and water damage.
Clogged drains most often cause overflow. Leaves, branches, and other junk can clog drains, making it hard for water to flow through. Gutters need to be checked frequently to prevent clogging. Putting up gutter screens or guards will stop bigger pieces of garbage from getting through, keeping your gutters clean and working for longer.
