Common Roofing Problems in Commercial Buildings: Prevention and Repair Tips for Leaks, Ponding, and More

Share This Post

Dear Friend,

From persistent leaks to troublesome ponding water, roofing problems demand timely attention and proactive maintenance to protect your building and your business investment. In today’s blog, I’ll share practical tips to prevent common roofing problems and ensure your commercial roof remains durable and reliable for years to come.

Identifying and Addressing Leaks

Leaking roofs are a common issue for commercial buildings. Leaks are often caused by damaged flashing, punctures in roofing underlayment, or deteriorated sealants. Detecting leaks early is important if you want to prevent water damage, which can include mold growth and structural damage,  and avoid disrupting daily operations. Schedule regular inspections with Omni Roofing to find and fix leaks promptly. Our experienced team uses advanced techniques to pinpoint leaks and restore your roof’s integrity.

Managing Ponding Water

Ponding water occurs when water accumulates on the roof surface and fails to drain properly within 48 hours. This can lead to structural damage, accelerated roof deterioration, and mold growth. To address ponding water, ensure your roof’s drainage system is clear of debris and functioning properly. Consider installing tapered insulation or creating additional drains to promote water flow. Omni Roofing can assess your roof’s design and recommend solutions to improve drainage.

Preventing Wind Damage

Strong winds can lift or dislodge roofing materials, causing potential roof damage and exposing your building to water infiltration. Inspect your roof after severe weather events for signs of loose or missing shingles, flashing, or underlayment seams. Secure loose materials and replace damaged components promptly. Omni Roofing offers comprehensive post-storm inspections and repairs to ensure your roof is resilient against wind damage and ready for future weather challenges.

Addressing Roofing Material Deterioration

Over time, roofing materials can deteriorate due to exposure to UV rays, temperature fluctuations, and moisture. Signs of deterioration include cracking, blistering, or peeling of roofing underlayment and rusting of metal components. Regular inspections by Omni Roofing can identify early signs of material degradation. We recommend timely repairs or replacement of damaged materials to prevent further deterioration and extend your roof’s lifespan.
