Improper Repairs to Metal Roof Systems May Cause Serious Damage
As a metal roofing system ages, repairs may be necessary in order to prevent leakage and damage to your building. Many building owners without experience may attempt to handle repairs by themselves, in turn causing further, long-term damage to their roofing system.
Several common sealant products, such as aluminum roofing paint, roofing cement and silicone roofing caulk are advertised as simple solutions for roof repair, when in reality, these applicants can cause larger issues for building owners in the future. Due to the expansion and contraction movement of a metal roof system, these types of sealant materials will not bond properly to the surface and over time will crack and degrade, allowing moisture to become trapped in between the roof and the sealant. When these leaks go unnoticed, as they commonly are, significant rot and structural deterioration will inevitably occur to your building’s roof.
Cracked sealant jeopardizes roof integrity
Although it may seem more economically savvy to perform these repairs in-house, hiring a General Contractor to evaluate the situation will prolong the life of your roofing system without the risk of further damage.
