If you own a business then it’s inevitable that some day you’ll need to have a roof replacement. Years of exposure and wear and tear will take its toll, especially if routine maintenance was not done, and you’ll ultimately face some tough decisions regarding your roof. In the best case scenario, you may not need a total roof replacement and will only have to repair select damaged areas; if more serious damage has occurred then a total roof repair replacement will be your only option. You may not be an expert in roofing replacement, but an experienced professional commercial roofing company can assist you in addressing your roofing needs and on ways to save on the cost of roof replacement as well.
Many business owners procrastinate or totally ignore regular roof maintenance and repairs, until it is too late, which is a costly mistake. It is much cheaper to take preventative measures to ensure that your roof lasts than it is to incur the cost of a total roof replacement. What may initially seem like a minor leak or small hole in your commercial roof can cause major problems both on the roof and inside your building sooner than you think. Whether you need a metal roof replacement or a flat roof replacement, both can be a large undertaking depending on the nature of the roof damage.
Common causes of roof damage are varied, but aside from typical weather exposure can include roof overload, blocked gutters, and even fire. A more serious cause of roof damage is asbestos exposure, which is extremely dangerous and harmful once the asbestos is airborne. Asbestos roof encapsulation is available if asbestos was used in the roofing materials but has not been exposed. In this process Insultec, a heat reflective membrane, will be used as a protective barrier to eliminate the possibility of the asbestos fibers becoming airborne and subsequently inhaled by humans. In the unfortunate event that the asbestos is proven to be airborne, then asbestos roof replacement will be necessary and you will need to seek the help of asbestos removal professionals. It is not advisable and is even against the law in some areas to remove asbestos on your own.
Insultec is not only an effective asbestos roof encapsulation product but can be used in various ways during any roof replacement project due to its ability to serve as a protective barrier from heat and water damage. On areas where major damage has not happened, it can serve as a very cost effective method of even avoiding total roof replacement. Using Insultec is a win-win situation, no matter what your roofing needs are.
