Roof Restoration Vermont

Vermont

Are you a businessman in Vermont? Do you have your own commercial building? Real property is a business asset that should not be overlooked. It should be well-maintained so that the company can maximize its use.

Most commercial buildings have flat roofs for the simple reason that it is safer and more cost-effective. With a large surface area, it would be easier for a service man to walk on a flat surface than a sloped one. But the problem with a flat roof is its tendency to pool water when it rains. Long standing water on a flat roof can cause damage to the structure and later cause water leaks.

Flat roofs are mostly made of cement or concrete, but there are also some made of metal. Each type has its own pros and cons as well as recommended maintenance procedures. If you get an expert from Melbourne Roof Specialist to inspect your property, he knows exactly what to look for on your flat roof and what repair or maintenance procedures to recommend.

Flat Roof Repairs

What are the signs that your flat roof needs repairs aside from obvious water leaks? Do you see bubbles or blisters on the roof membrane? Do you notice any puddle or standing water after a rainfall? Are there debris, leaves or moss growth clogging the gutters resulting in water overflow? If you answered yes to the previous questions, it’s time to contact a professional roofer to take care of the pending problems.

Roof Sealing

Flat roofs usually have a layer of waterproof membrane applied over it. It may be made of polymer or synthetic rubber like EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer). The purpose of this membrane is to keep water out so the roofing structure is not compromised. If this membrane is damaged, water can seep through the roof and cause water leaks. A roofing service man can take care of the problem by sealing the roof with the appropriate material.

Flat Metal Roof

Some commercial buildings come with flat metal roofs because metal is light weight and capable of reflecting UV light. One problem with this type of roofing is the possibility of water seeping through the seams, loose nails/screws and fasteners. Another problem is when the roof sags as a result of the pooling of heavy water. These problems must be dealt with right away while the problem is small and repair costs less.

All these cases of roof repair are not a job for an amateur. Only a roofing expert can do the work perfectly. So, get in touch with Melbourne Roof Specialist to find out more information about flat roof repairs and get a free quote.
