While most people are eager for summer to arrive, Floridians may find it difficult to handle the excitement. Except for those who are in school and looking forward to summer vacation, most people have the same work hours. However, the heat can make it unbearable and make the work days seem longer. It doesn’t help if it is too hot or uncomfortable at work.
You may have a problem with your roof if you own a business and notice that your building gets hot even though the air conditioner is running. The cool air can escape through holes in your commercial roof and the heat from the outside can get in. For many reasons, it is important to prepare your commercial roofing for summer. KCG Roofing and Carpentry can help you maintain your commercial roofing and offer some advice on how to do it.
HOW SOME SOMER HEAT MAY DAMAGE YOUR COMMERCIAL ROOF
Exposed to the sun can not only pose a danger to people, but it can also negatively impact your commercial roof. These are some of the issues that you need to be aware of.
DRYING
Too much heat can cause roof linings and other structural materials to dry out. They can become brittle and crack from too much heat exposure. These problems must be resolved immediately. The fractures could cause damage to your roof’s structure and weaken its waterproofing materials.
MOISTURE RETENTION
Commercial roofs can hold a lot of moisture, which is particularly dangerous during the summer when it’s humid. Leakage can be caused by water patches. They can cause roof collapse in the worst cases.
SUN DAMAGE
Just like our skin, roofing materials can be damaged by the sun. These materials can be bleached or blackened by the sun.
THERMAL SHOCK
Summertime temperatures can rise rapidly during the day but drop quickly at night. The constant and severe temperature fluctuations, known as Thermal shock can cause roofs to become warped or form gaps over time. This can lead to leaks and is a major problem.
TIPS FOR PREPARING YOUR COMMERCIAL ROOF
This is a must-have for maintaining a commercial roof.
PROFESSIONAL ROOF INSIGHTS
Regular roof inspections are a must for any business owner. Roofers are experts who work every day with roofs. They know what signs to watch out for in order to avoid future problems. We’ll find the problem before it becomes a major problem and offer a cost-effective solution. We want to make sure that these holes are fixed before they become serious problems and make the workplace unbearable.
REPAIR / REPLACE SHINGLES
It is important to replace or repair any missing or damaged shingles before the summer months begin. Imagine a summer storm that leaves your roof damaged. Water damage can cause water damage to your investments and assets.
