Signs Your Flat Roof May Be Leaking And In Need Of Repair?

 

• Puddles Forming: If you notice water collecting in puddles on your flat roof after rainfall, it is a clear indication of sagging. This could be due to cracks or poor installation.
• Leaks: The presence of pools of water inside your building on the flat roof is an obvious sign of a leak. It is crucial to address the issue promptly to avoid further damage. Delaying repairs may require a full roof replacement instead of a repair.
• Moss or Other Growths: While moss on your flat roof may seem harmless, it can lead to significant damage. The presence of moss could also indicate hidden areas where water retention is occurring.

 

How Often Does A Flat Roof Need Replacing?

 

A properly installed flat roof should last a minimum of 10 years. Regular maintenance and upkeep can extend its lifespan even further. Different materials have varying longevity, so it is advisable to consult our flat roof specialists to discuss the available options. While we provide durable flat roofing solutions designed to last for decades, we understand that unforeseen issues may arise, necessitating the expertise of a repair specialist for existing flat roofs.

 

What Is The Longest-Lasting Flat Roof Material?

 

Despite all flat roofing materials have an excellent lifespan considering the constant changing of the weather and temperatures, EPDM rubber roofs, if well maintained, can last for an impressive 50 years. It is also a very versatile roofing material and can be used on a variety of different roof types from dormers to conservatories.
