When your commercial or industrial roof leaks badly, it sometimes requires an emergency repair.

Armour Roof Co. can quickly (often on the same business day) patch the issues to prevent further damage. At the same time, we are preparing for a longer-term solution.

Where Do Commercial Roofs Leak?

Diagnosing the entry point for the leak is genuinely the first step. We often see water come in through the seals of roofs (particularly for metal roofs), plumbing systems, HVAC systems, or backed-up drains that pool water for extended periods.

It’s often the case that these problems were already lurking beneath the surface before the water actually penetrated the building.

How Quickly Should I Fix a Leaky Commercial Roof?

Interestingly, when many building owners call us, they’ve often had the leak for some time because they kept deferring the repair. We advise against that.

A roof should be patched and potentially restored at the first sign of a leak. This includes dripping water, ceiling discoloration, musty odors, or pooling water.

Water damage may seem “harmless,” but mold and structural issues are not far from a leaky roof.

Can I Fix My Commercial Leaky Roof Myself?

While we wouldn’t fault you for trying, a commercial roof is much more complex than a residential roof regarding leaks.

We’ve encountered many buildings where the owner first attempted to remediate the issue themselves and found that it was short-lived.

As we’ve indicated in other blog posts, a leak is one area that is often an indication of a broader spread problem. It’s rare to find a leak on a commercial roof isolated only to one site, so chances are other causes should also be simultaneously addressed.

This is where bringing in a professional commercial or industrial roofer is worth your while. We can analyze the entire roof surface and document the exact problem areas we observe. This documentation may even serve you well if there ever needs to be an insurance claim.

Summary

Emergency commercial leak repairs are something that Armour can address immediately. If your building has even the slightest sign of a leak, we would be happy to assess the problem and let you know the next steps for repair.
