Common Warehouse Roofing Problems
The roof on your warehouse is one of the most important aspects of protecting your internal goods and services. If your roof needs to be repaired, it can become extremely vulnerable to rain, wind, and snow.
Some common problems we encounter when repairing warehouse roofs include:
- Extensive Pooling Of Water: It’s normal for your roof to collect water, but only a small amount. If your roof is collecting a large amount of water in various areas this is a common indicator that you will need a new roof. If you notice any water on your roof, this must be removed immediately as this can create serious water and moisture damage.
- Cracks/Tears In Your Roof Material Or Seam: Majority of cracks rips or tears can be repaired easily, however, if you do not fix the tears straight away they can allow water to get inside your building leading to an expensive project.
- Leaking Roof: If you have noticed a leak in your roof, this could be an indicator that you need a roof replacement. Leaks that are spotted early on will most likely be able to be repaired, however, if your roof has had a leak for a long time this typically means you will need a complete new roof. Leaking roofs can produce mould growth, fundamental destruction, and additional complications.
If you’ve noticed any of these issues with your warehouse roof, this could be the time to invest in a new roof!
