The roof - an absolutely essential component of any home or commercial building. Not only does it provide a barrier between a property's interior and the outdoors, but it also protects whatever and whoever is inside from being exposed to outdoor elements such as wind and rain. Knowing just how valuable a roof really is, we wanted to stress the importance of knowing what to look for to prevent serious damage from unfolding - today, we're focusing on commercial buildings.

Below, we compiled a list of three ways to tell if your commercial building's roof is in need of some help:

Pools of water: If standing water remains on the roof for a long period of time, it can cause aging and ultimately lead to the deterioration of the cover - both of which can cause leaks. Additionally, having excess water on the roof can weaken the structure since it is added weight. If you notice that water is pooling up on the roof and isn't going anywhere, your first priority should be having it removed immediately.

Bubbling: When a roof starts to bubble, it could mean that moisture has accumulated within the roof cover. As a result, your roof may develop leaks, age quicker or even lose some years off of its expected lifespan. Furthermore, bubbles could lessen the effectiveness of the entire system, making it difficult to withstand severe weather conditions. Should bubbles be forming on your roof, you'll need to have it addressed by a roofing professional right away to eliminate the bubbles and their cause.

Gaps in the flashing: Your roof's flashing is the metal strips installed along the perimeter of the roof's edge where the cover comes into contact with the wall. Flashing is also generally installed around various roof accessories in order to divert water away from seams that it could potentially damage. If there are obvious gaps in the flashing of your commercial building, your roof could be in danger of failing - it also makes it much simpler for water to enter or mold to form. To prevent such from happening, you'll need to have the flashing repaired as soon as possible.
