The document discusses several common roof problems: weathering can damage roof materials from direct exposure and contaminants; lack of maintenance like uncleaned gutters can allow buildup that deteriorates roofs; wind can tear roof coverings if not securely fastened; roof leaks and moisture are frequent issues due to weather damage or improper installation; ponding water from poor drainage decreases roof lifespan; and improper repair materials or methods can permanently damage roofs.
1. Different Roof Problems
Weather
Roof material gets
worse with the
direct contact to
weather. Disclosure
to contaminants or
industrial ambiance
may speed up the
decay of your roofing
material. In picture,
you will see an
example of roof
damage due to
weather.
Lack of
Maintenance
It’s most common on flat
or low-sloped roofs. Not a
success to accurate uneven
roof will cause buildup of
sediments and dampen that
will ultimately devastate your
roof material. For example- if
your gutters are not
maintained properly then it
will definitely get worst as
time passes.
2. Wind
The space and the elevating
pressure or stress formed by
wind, blowing above the
rim of the roof, can
somewhat tear the roofing
covering or system. The
roofing and insulation have
to be fixed firmly and
tenable to the edge and to
the core roof structure to
offset the forces that are
being brought to bear on
the roof.
ROOF LEAKS
AND
MOISTURE
Roof leaks and moisture is
the biggest problem and
the most common issue of
roof damage. There could
be various reasons of roof
leaks and moisture
including weather
damage, improper roof
installation etc.
3. PONDING
WATER
Another roofing
problem in all roof
types is ponding water.
If the water is removed
from roof immediately
then it increases the
chance that the roof will
go longer. If we do not
take proactive measures
on time then it will
decrease the overall life
expectancy of the roof.
IMPROPER
REPAIRS
Using materials to repair
roof damages or leaks
which are not appropriate
for certain type of roof
then it will cause
permanent damage to the
roof. Infect sometimes if
material is right but
improper repair process
also causes huge damage
to roof.
