Commercial roof construction can be complex for a number of reasons. There are challenges that are part of commercial roofing that are far more complex than the problems associated with residential roof construction.
In order to understand commercial roof construction, a building owner or building manager has to deal with the logistics of a roof, which include the mere size or expanse of it as well as all the structures or machinery that usually cover large portions of it. Those obstacles almost always entail air/heating units (HVAC), air vents, skylights, piping, drainage systems and any other machinery related to the function of the building. These obstructions can be a hindrance to the maintenance, repair, and replacement of a commercial roof and are part of what makes commercial roofing more complicated than residential roofing.
Other Challenges
Other challenges that go along with commercial roofing include standing water (ponding water) that can accumulate on commercial rooftops and lead to leaks that deteriorate the roof itself as well as the building beneath it. Other leaks can occur through the faulty installation of flashing. Without inspections for gaps, leaks can come directly through the flashing, and improper installation of flashing can also be affected by wind and wind gusts that cause tenting, billowing and blow-offs.
There is also the problem of moisture that becomes trapped under the roof’s cover and causes bubbling or blistering. Improper installation can also contribute to these conditions. Applications of various roof coatings to a wet surface or applications in stages can also bring about blistering.
Commercial roofs can also be affected by inadequate repairs, insufficient maintenance, and bad installations. Other problems can occur from using the wrong materials for a particular type of commercial roof. A roof can be completely ruined and cost more when materials are in question as well as installation procedures. Roofing inspectors and regular maintenance can alleviate many commercial roofing problems before they turn into excessive repairs or replacements.
