Useful Tips in Navigating Through Your Roof Insurance Claim

If your commercial roof is already a few years old, there’s a chance that it might have sustained some damage. With proper care and maintenance, they can be easily spotted and repaired. However, there are some instances where the damage isn’t immediately seen and may cause further damage and deterioration over time. 

To determine if you need commercial roof repair, here’s what you need to look out for on it: 

Water Stains

If you’re noticing new and growing brownish spots on the ceiling tiles of your commercial property, it could be due to plumbing issues. But if you see them on the top floors, then you may have an active roof leak. Whether your roof is still relatively new or already over a decade old, leaks can happen at any time and aren’t only caused by old roofing material deteriorating. It could also be caused by other workers accessing your rooftop system or even extreme weather.

Roof Deck Problems

If you ever decide to replace the roof after finding significant damage, be sure to have the deck replaced as well. Water leaks and excessive moisture that become trapped within the roofing components under the deck lead to mold growth, which can spread to other areas and cause further deterioration over time. This is why you should have your deck completely replaced by a trusted roofing contractor to avoid problems.

Mold Growth

If you’ve already spent on remediating the mold or pest control for insects inside your commercial property, then it’s probably best to find the actual cause of the problem to prevent the damage from recurring. Make sure to have your commercial roof inspected by a trusted professional so that all the hidden leaks can be found and addressed.
