Most Common Flat Roof Problems
1. ALLIGATORING
As experienced flat roof repair specialists, one of the most common issues we see is "alligatoring". Alligatoring is when the asphalt used to build your flat roof has aged and lost elasticity, causing it to crack and bubble and resemble the skin of an alligator. Unfortunately, when alligatoring occurs, your flat roof has deteriorated past the point of no return and will need to be replaced.
2. MOISTURE & LEAKS
Damp patches and leaks are another common cause of roof repairs in Newport for flat roofs. If these matters are dealt with quickly as they happen, there may be a way to avoid full flat roof replacement and instead use skilled repair work to bring it back to life. All roofs can be susceptible to leaks, but with flat roofs the damage tends to be greater, faster because the water doesn’t have anywhere to run. This causes water to seep through the roof itself, causing more problems down the line, such as mildew and mould.
3. BUCKLING IN THE MEMBRANE
Most asphalt flat roofs are constructed in a similar way to shingled roofs in that they are made up of a membrane soaked in asphalt and then laid across the top of the building to make the roof. However for flat roofs, the membrane is all one piece which means that gradually, as your house shifts and settles, so will your roof. But too much movement can cause 'buckles' in the asphalt roof membrane and unfortunately if that happens the only solution is a full replacement rather than roof repair because a buckling roof is not safe to live under.
4. POOLING WATER
Obviously, with a flat roof when it rains or snows (and then melts) there is nowhere for the water to run. So the water can begin to 'pool'. The majority of roofing materials on the market are designed to hold up to water, but any pools that accumulate on your flat roof should be drained off as soon as possible along with checking to that water has not seeped into the lower layers of the roof. Without this your flat roof will likely need repairs to remedy the damage that water ingress can cause.
5. CRACKING
Unlike pitched roofs, because of their 'flatness', flat roofs tend to have more pressure exerted on them and this means that pressure can build up and cause damage. Sometimes this pressure can build up, and if the pressure and stress become excessive, it can cause your roof to crack. If your roof does crack, it is imperative to call a local roof repair professional immediately. A roof crack can signify that your roof is structurally compromised and it’s time for a new one.
6. FLASHING
Like with the majority of materials, asphalt flat roofs can expand and contract with changing temperatures and weather conditions. However, for flat roofs, over time this constant expanding and contracting can see the flashing start to pull away from the edges and corners of your roof. This can lead to leaks and moisture getting stuck inside your roof that can then require water damage repairs to be undertaken. The best way to avoid damaged flashing is to inspect and maintain your flat roof regularly. If the leaks are allowed to become significant, or the flashing deteriorates a lot, roof repairs will no longer be an option, and a new roof will need to be installed.
