Damage to your commercial roof could cost you thousands in repairs. It is important to address the problem as soon as you notice water getting in. Mold and mildew can quickly form when moisture is present. Here are the top signs that your commercial roof has water damage to help you avoid a costly repair bill.
Ceiling Damage
There is a possibility that your ceilings could collapse if they are beginning to show signs of damage. It is important to inspect the ceiling immediately if you notice any damage or signs of paint chipping or peeling.
You Are Missing Shingles
Water protection can be exposed if there are gaps between seams or missing shingles. Water damage can quickly occur if your coverage isn’t complete.
You Can Smell Dampness Or Mildew
There is a possibility that your business smells like mold or mildew. If you do the right things, mildew can be eliminated. You can eliminate the stench and prevent mildew and mold from spreading by working with a mold expert.
Gathering Water
There’s a chance water could seep through your roof if there are ponds on the top of your roof. Your roof can be saved by removing the water quickly with a leaf blower or pump.
Aging
It is a good idea to have your roof inspected and repaired immediately if the roofing materials are beginning to age. You will notice signs of aging on your roofs such as fading roofing tiles and shingles curling at the edges. Contact a roofing professional immediately if your roof is older than 10 years and has not been inspected in a while.
