Common Commercial Metal Roof Problems
Metal roofing is a popular choice for commercial properties because it’s durable, beautiful, and doesn’t require any maintenance. But, as with any metal product, metal roofs aren’t immune to problems. In fact, metal roofs are susceptible to the same weathering and wear-and-tear issues that other types of roofs suffer from. In time, a commercial roof repair may be necessary. Some commercial metal roofing problems are common and easily solvable, while others are more complicated. Here are the most common ones:
Loose Shingles
If your metal shingles are not fitting properly, they will look too tight or too loose. Or, you’ll see some gaps between shingles and the underlying roof decking. Check these spots to determine if the shingles need to be trimmed.
Attic Insulation Damage
Your attic might be insulated with blown-in foam or another material that comes with a limited lifespan. If the insulation has been damaged by water leaks or pests, it can no longer provide durable insulation. In this case, replacing your attic insulation with a new product that’s made using high-quality materials is the best choice.
Attic Leaking
The first signs of attic leaks often go unnoticed because they’re small and occur beneath insulation that’s caked with dirt and dust. But if you notice wet spots on the ceiling or floor in your attic, it might be time for you to call in a professional commercial roof repair contractor. They can locate and fix any leaks before they become bigger problems.
Roof Leaking
Metal roofing doesn’t generally suffer from leaks because it’s built using high-quality materials. So if an inspection indicates that there are no roof leaks on your property, it probably means that the roofing material has finally given out under the assault of the elements and wear-and-tear.
