Frequently asked questions
YOU’VE GOT QUESTIONS. WE HAVE ANSWERS
How do I know if my commercial roof needs repair or restoration?
An inspection is needed to determine. We can provide several tests such as infrared scans, core cuts, and/or visual inspection to determine the type and age of the roof and if your roof is a coating candidate.
What is the lifespan of a typical commercial roof?
The lifespan of a typical commercial roof can vary depending on the type of roofing material used, environmental conditions, maintenance and quality of installation. Typically commercial roofs last 20-30 years. Regular inspections and proactive maintenance can help extend the lifespan of a commercial roof. Roof coatings can be applied to avoid ever having to replace a roof and avoid landfill waste.
What is at risk if I don’t address minor roof repairs promptly?
Addressing minor roof repairs is essential to protect the integrity, safety, and value of the commercial property and to avoid significant problems and expenses in the future. Failing to address minor roof repairs promptly can lead to several potential consequences, including compromising the structural integrity of the building, mold growth, deteriorating building materials, energy leakage, exposure to legal liability, jeopardizing insurance coverage, and dissatisfaction from tenants.
How can I prevent roof leaks in the future?
Roof leaks can be minimized by conducting routine inspections of your roof at least twice a year and after severe weather events. Put a regular maintenance plan into action including cleaning gutters and downspouts, removing debris from roof surfaces and addressing minor issues before they escalate into larger problems. Also check to make sure the roof has proper drainage to channel water away from the building efficiently. Seal roof penetrations, repair flashing, trim overhanging vegetation and schedule professional maintenance with Tarpon Solutions.
What are the consequences of ignoring gutter problems on my roof?
Ignoring gutter problems can lead to a range of costly and potentially serious consequences. Water damage, mold and mildew growth, and damage to the foundation are just a few. Clogged gutters provide an ideal breeding ground for pests. Landscaping can also be damaged and property values impacted. Contact Tarpon Solutions for gutter system remediation and maintenance.
