Roof Repair in Johns Creek
As it ages, a roof can experience a number of different issues. Timely repair is the best way to keep problems from worsening and impacting your property’s structural integrity.
Signs you need a roof repair:
- Leaks
- Missing parts
- Pooling water
- Shrinking or sagging
Regardless of your roof type, flashing is used to help prevent water from getting underneath and into your building. It’s installed around chimneys, pipes, windows, and the edge of your roof. It might not stick to the surface well if not properly installed, which could let water through.
If you have a shingle or tile roof, exposure to the hot sun and strong winds can damage it over time. This can cause them to deteriorate, break, shrink, split, blister, or fall off.
These issues lead to water getting into your building and causing damage. Our experienced roofers can replace your shingles or tiles to prevent more serious problems.
Roof ventilation is necessary to prevent many issues. When your roof isn’t properly vented, it can cause high heat and humidity. This can result in mold and mildew growing in your attics and ground floors. It can also cause exterior paint damage and higher energy costs.
Many commercial roofs are flat, which can cause water to pool after a storm. If your roof doesn’t have proper drainage, this standing water can eventually leak into your building and cause water damage. It is also a breeding ground for mosquitos.
If your commercial roofing is single-ply, it is more prone to blow-offs and tenting during a strong storm. The wind creates a suction pressure across your roof, which can cause parts of it to blow off if it isn’t secured.
Fallen trees or other debris during a storm can puncture some roofs. Walking on your roof during installation or maintenance can also cause punctures in some roofing materials. It is common on commercial roofs to have walkway pads installed, which can help prevent damage caused by certain types of shoes.
