There are a number of signs that you need a roof repair as soon as possible. This includes:
Higher energy bills
Have you certainly noticed a spike in your company’s energy bills? If so, this could be because of warm or cool air is leaking out of your roof.
Sagging roof deck
If you have noticed that the rafters or decking in your building are sagging in a downward manner rather than being straight, this could mean that they are wet because moisture is leaking. You may be able to avoid a roof replacement if the problem is localised.
Leaks in the attic after a rainstorm
If there is rain getting into your attic, it could be a question of replacing some flashing. However, you may need a roof replacement if the culprit is a porous underlayment.
Straining on the interior walls or ceilings
If you have noticed discolouration or stains on the ceilings or walls at your offices, this could be a problem. One of the common issues is that the underlayment of the roof is letting moisture into the building, which can mean a roof replacement is needed.
Peeling or blistering exterior paint
If your building is not ventilated well, increased humidity or moisture can build up near the roofline. This can cause the paint to blister or peel.
Wear and tear around roof openings and objects
Pipes, vents, chimneys, and other objects can penetrate your roof and this can result in deterioration.
