How a Roof Replacement Protects Your Building
A strong roof ensures the safety of your building, but over time, wear and tear make a roof replacement unavoidable. If you spot the warning signs, you can prevent bigger problems down the line. Here’s what to look for.
1. Age of the Roof
The lifespan of most commercial roofs is about 20-30 years. If your roof is getting close to this age, it might be time to start considering replacement.
2. Extensive Roof Leaks
Persistent roof leaks point to a failing roof system. If you notice recurring leaks, it’s likely time for a roof replacement to prevent further damage.
Signs of Wear and Tear on Your Roof
If your roof shows visible signs of damage like missing shingles or cracks in the membrane, it’s probably time to consider replacing it. Continued wear can lead to serious problems.
What Roof Sagging Means for Your Building
Sagging roofs are a result of weakened support structures and water damage. If you notice sagging, it’s essential to have the roof replaced to avoid safety risks.
5. Energy Bills Are Increasing
An inefficient roof can cause a spike in energy bills by allowing air to leak out. If you’ve noticed a rise in your utility costs, it could be time for a roof replacement to improve energy efficiency.
When Your Roof’s Materials Are Breaking Down
Rust, granule loss, and damaged membranes signal that your roof’s materials are deteriorating and may soon fail. This is a clear sign it’s time for a replacement.
7. There Are Frequent or Large-Scale Repairs
If your roof needs frequent repairs, it may indicate underlying issues that can’t be fixed with patches. A full replacement could be more cost-effective.
