One of the benefits of flat roofs is the fact that they’re extremely durable, making them a good option for commercial buildings. But because of the flat nature of flat roofs, they are susceptible to damage and problems. To avoid these problems, make sure you engage experienced experts such as us who understand what they’re doing with flat roofs.
The roof of this type can be damaged by hail, which may vary in size and shape. Sometimes, it can be smaller than pellets, while at other times, it could be as big as the size of a grapefruit or a bowling ball. Whatever the size, the most common problem with flat roofing is pooling water in the roofing’s top. It causes it to sink and cause structural damage underneath.
In certain situations, a flat roof may require replacing. It can be a difficult procedure since it requires taking off old roofing before replacing it with a new one. Several materials can be used on flat and low-sloped roofs. These include single-ply or membrane roofing (PVC TPO, rubber, EPDM, etc.) and spray polyurethane foam roofing.
