What causes roofs to fail?
Without actively protecting the investment made in the roof, a Virginia building owner is subjecting the building to numerous factors contributing to its destruction. A roof is often neglected due to the fact it cannot always be seen or noticed until it is too late; out of sight, out of mind. But if even a small leak occurs, it can severely impact the inside of a building and drain productivity and profit from any business. Damage that may occur from even the smallest leaks could result in: deterioration of the roof insulation and deck; interior ceiling, wall and floor damage; damage to interior furnishings, fixtures and/or equipment; finished goods and inventory damage; and poor indoor air quality.
Some common culprits to be aware of:
- Poor design and installation
- Defective materials
- Destructive weather conditions
- Previous neglect
- Building movement
- Improvements/additions to the existing building
- Maintenance performed by other contractors (HVAC, Satellite etc.)
- Foot traffic, vandalism
- Rooftop contaminants
- Clogged drains and defective flashings, penetrations
- Loss of felt or asphalt surfacing, gravel, and aluminum coating
- Felt erosion or loss of plies
- Alligatoring and brittleness
- Membrane damage, such as punctures and cuts
- Membrane defects, including blisters, splits and ridges
- Flashings aging, splits, open laps, ratcheting and slippage
- Poorly sealed flashing terminations.
