Shrinkage
The seams of your roof can sometimes loosen as a result of EPDM shrinkage. This particular material tends to be found in the outer coating or within the protective membrane coating. If it shrinks around the edges, then moisture and cold air could infiltrate. Don’t worry, though, as our Christchurch flat roofing company can help.
Felt
In older roofs, felt was commonly installed, but it is an outdated material that can affect the flow of water. Due to the nature of the rough material, water is unable to travel off it smoothly and it doesn’t last for a long period of time. Our team that specialise in flat roofing in Christchurch will be able to replace old roofs that contain felt.
Standing Water
Even though flat roofs are predominantly flat, there is a slight incline that allows water to run into the gutter, which prevents pooling. However, if the roof has not been designed to a high standard, it has been installed incorrectly, or it has begun to sag, standing water can be an issue. Our specialists in flat roofing, Christchurch clients, will be able to restore your roof and remove any blockages.
Blistering
If moisture gets trapped between the roof and the membrane, blistering tends to happen. Generally, warmer climates experience this more than colder atmospheres as hot air causes moisture to expand. If you notice sealed blisters, then it is important that you get our Christchurch flat roofing company to fix them before they rupture.
HVAC Damage
For commercial and industrial buildings, many have air conditioning units installed. In some cases, the condensation and vibrations can cause cracks within the roofing structure. If you do not bring in our experts as swiftly as possible, the entire roof could be affected.
