Commercial roof leaks disrupt operations, damage your building, and compromise people’s safety. You need a strategic approach when it comes to commercial leak repairs for long term success. We use the following checklist, along with years of experience and specialized tools to guide our commercial leak repair efforts and protect your property from water damage.
- Find the Source. Pinpointing the location of a roof leak is the first step in the repair process. While water stains or dripping inside the building may provide clues, the actual source could be far from the visible damage. A professional inspection will find the leak, whether it’s from a puncture in the membrane, a clogged drain, or damaged flashing.
- Assess the Damage. After finding the source of the leak, we evaluate the damage. We look for pooling water, damaged insulation, or weakened roof decking. This thorough assessment helps figure out if a simple commercial leak repairs are enough or if your commercial building needs extensive restoration.
- Choose the Right Materials. We use high-quality materials such as those from Firestone, Carlisle, or GenFlex to ensure durable and long-lasting commercial leak repairs. Selecting the patching materials, sealants, or replacement membranes based on your roof’s system is critical to prevent future leaks.
- Put Proper Drainage in Place. Drainage issues contribute to leaks, so fixing this is part of our repair process. We clear debris from drains, ensure proper sloping, and repair any damaged gutters or downspouts to prevent water buildup that could lead to future leaks.
