Always Start with an Inspection
During your roof inspection our professional technician will review all aspects of your roofing unit including:
The First Class Roofing Difference
- 15+ years relevant expertise
- Solid company reputation
- Professional treatment
- Quality workmanship
- Non-prorated warranties
• Flashings
• Seams
• Attachment points
• Joints and corners
• Skylights, chimneys and ventilation
• And more.
The things we will look for includes cracks, blisters, punctures or tears, deterioration, aging, ponding or pooling water and more. It is very important for our technician to fully assess your entire roof. If a company only reviews your leaking portion, they are overlooking a major step in the roof repair process. One leak might be from blistering, which could also be spread throughout your entire roofing unit. If one pipe isn’t sealed correctly, perhaps the others aren’t as well. A full, detailed roof inspection will not only address your current flat roof repair needs, it will also correct potential issues from popping up.
Flat Roof Repair Problems
The most common flat roof repair problems include:
• Leaks – This is the most common problem flat roofs face. Leaks can occur from improper flashing, seams not being sealed correctly, draining systems backing up, punctures, and even from ponding water that deteriorates your roof system.
• Shrinking Material – Certain roofing substrates are prone to material shrinkage over time. This can cause problems around drip edge, parapet walls, chimneys, and flashing.
• Foot Traffic Damage – Flat roofs that are prone to heavy foot traffic will ware out quicker than flat roofs without foot traffic. Visitors walking on your roof can cause punctures to your roofing membrane.
If you have noticed any of these problems, or anything else out of the ordinary, it is time to call a professional roofing contractor. Call First Class Roofing at 888-699-9321 to get your roof back on the right track.
