Commercial Roof Repairs & Maintenance Services Chattanooga

Roof leaks can be unpredictable, so it is important to spot deterioration early and act fast to begin commercial roof repairs in Chattanooga. The damage may result from severe weather events that are difficult to predict, a bad installation, rooftop traffic causing wear and tear over time, or neglect by failing to invest in regular maintenance services to inspect the facility.

Recognizing the Signs of Roof Damage

Roof Leaks Can Go on for Months without Creating Visible Stains

By the time a stain appears on the ceiling or a leak is found streaming into the internal structure of a building, the damage is likely already done. Inventory and equipment may need repairing — if they can be salvaged.

That sort of nightmare scenario can put some businesses on life support or, at the very least, demoralize staff if expected bonuses have to be put off a year to instead pay for necessary roof repairs. Neglect can also render some commercial roofing companies’ warranties invalid.

While the best choice is always to factor in a program of roof inspections and maintenance into budgets (how can a company ever have predictable roofing expenses without a plan to keep their roofing performing at its best?), personnel with rooftop access can and should pay attention for signs of roof damage such as:

Cracked materials
Blistering surfaces
Curling at the edges of materials
Brittle materials that will easily creak or break under pressure
Dingy Water stains on the ceiling
Mold on ceilings or walls
Standing water that does not evaporate within 48 hours
Leaky skylights
Icicles or ice dams at the edge of the roofing
Missing shingles or tiles
Small imperfections or granules after significant hail storms

If you are fortunate, signs of damage may require only basic repair work if caught early enough. Ignored long enough, leaks can rot the infrastructure of your building from the inside out and encourage the growth of dangerous molds.

There are four basic parts to a Roof Maintenance Program

Step One: Inspect the Roof

Tennessee Roofing & Construction, Inc. will send qualified technicians to routinely examine the entire roof system. The aim is to identify roof damage before it becomes a major issue.

Step Two: Clean the Roof

All debris will be removed from roof surface and other areas to maintain proper drainage.

Step Three: Repair or Replacement

TRC can assess any damage, then replace or repair deteriorated roof components.

Step Four: Post-Work Reporting

TRC provides an annual summation of work performed and an assessment of roof conditions.

The good news is that most roofs with some deterioration can be restored to a maintainable condition so they can reach their expected useful life or replaced with roofing that will function properly.
