Water intrusion can happen due to various reasons, such as improper installation, insufficient maintenance, defective materials, cracks, holes, or gaps in the roof. Water can penetrate through these openings and reach the underlying layers of the roof, such as the insulation, the decking, and the framing.
This can cause many problems, such as:
- Reduced Energy Efficiency: Water can lower the thermal resistance of the insulation, making the building lose heat in the winter and gain heat in the summer. This can increase the energy consumption and the utility bills of the building.
- Damaged Equipment & Inventory: Water can harm the equipment and the inventory stored in the building, such as electronics, machinery, furniture, and products. This can result in losses, repairs, or replacements, which can affect the productivity and profitability of the business.
- Health & Safety Hazards: Water can create a favorable environment for mold, mildew, bacteria, and fungi to grow and spread in the building. These can cause allergic reactions, respiratory infections, and other health issues for the occupants. Water can also weaken the structural integrity of the roof, making it prone to collapse or failure, which can endanger the lives and the property of the occupants.
Benefits of Waterproofing in Commercial Roofing
Commercial roofing needs to be waterproofed. Waterproofing is the process of applying a protective layer or coating on the roof that can prevent water from entering the roof and reaching the underlying layers.
Waterproofing your commercial roof can provide many advantages, such as:
- Extending the lifespan of your roof by preventing deterioration and decay caused by water exposure.
- Reducing the risk of leaks and moisture intrusion that can damage the interior of your building and its contents, as well as create safety and health issues for the occupants.
- Enhancing the energy efficiency of your building by reducing heat loss and gain through the roof, lowering your cooling and heating costs.
- Improving the aesthetic appeal of your building by preventing stains, discoloration, and algae growth on your roof surface.
- Increasing the value of your property by maintaining its structural integrity and appearance.
Low Slope Roofing System`
Commercial roofing needs to be waterproofed. Waterproofing is the process of applying a protective layer or coating on the roof that can prevent water from entering the roof and reaching the underlying layers.
Some of the best options for low-slope roofing systems are:
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin)
TPO is a single-ply membrane that is made of a blend of polypropylene and ethylene-propylene rubber. TPO is a flexible and durable material that can be heat-welded to create a seamless and watertight surface. TPO also has a high reflectivity that can reduce solar heat gain and lower cooling costs.
TritoFlex™ 2k
TritoFlex 2k is a liquid rubber membrane that is sprayed to any thickness in a single pass, creating a monolithic and waterproof layer. TritoFlex 2k is a water-based and non-toxic material that can adhere to any substrate and conform to any shape. TritoFlex 2k also has a high resistance to hail, fire, and chemicals.
