Flat roofs require different maintenance than residential sloped roofs. Proper care extends lifespan and prevents costly business interruptions.
Single-ply membranes require regular seam inspection. Watch for membrane shrinkage, fastener backing out, and ponding water.
Asphalt-based systems need regular coating to prevent brittleness. Check for blisters and interply separation.
Gravel-covered systems require checking for bare spots in the gravel and gravel accumulation in drains.
Water that sits for more than 48 hours deteriorates all flat roof systems. Causes include poor original design, structural settling, and clogged drains.
Most leaks occur at roof edges, parapets, and penetrations. Regular inspection and resealing prevents this.
UV radiation, foot traffic, and severe weather degrade membranes. Prompt repairs prevent small issues from becoming major leaks.
When leaks occur, quick action prevents inventory damage and business interruption. Proof Construction offers 24/7 emergency commercial service with rapid response.
