The Most Common Seattle Roofing Problems
Roofing in Seattle is challenging with the high rainfall throughout the year. Throughout the Pacific Northwest, roofing maintenance is recommended year round.
Roof Leaks
Roof leaks from substantial rainfall are the most common Seattle roofing issue. Minor, inexpensive problems can quickly result in costly damage if leaks are not caught quickly. Read through the top causes of roof leaks:
Flashing Damage
Any upright structure on your roof is protected by flashing, which is thin metal strips that direct water away from your roof. These strips can crack or become loose due to aging, weather, or lack of maintenance. Water will seep through cracks and gaps in flashing, creating leaks. Roofcorp checks for common roof problems to repair any faulty flashing that could lead to further damage.
Joint Damage
Joints attach to all corners of your roof. Similar to flashing, joint damage will lead to roof leaks. But unlike flashing, joints protect your roof membrane’s core, and damages can become more severe and costly if not repaired quickly.
Lack of Maintenance
Neglecting regular inspections and maintenance is the most common cause of roof leaks. While residential roofing inspection is only recommended annually, commercial roofing maintenance should be scheduled biannually, if not quarterly.
Ponding
Standing or ponding water is a common problem for commercial roofing. If you notice water more than 48 hours after the most recent rainfall, your roof is experiencing ponding, which can lead to leaks.
Wearing of your roof’s core membrane makes your roof more susceptible to leaks. When ponding lasts for significant periods, membranes don’t have the long-term support to survive because they are water resistant, not waterproof. There are two most likely causes of commercial roof ponding:
- Roofing Deflection
- Obstructed Draining
Roofing deflection is an easy fix to prevent ponding and future roof leaks. Deflection allows ponding when gutters are placed in poor locations where water cannot drain. Simple shifts to your gutters can eliminate ponding water.
Obstructed drainage systems can be expensive, contributing to ponding and leaking, but not as expensive as a roof replacement. Schedule maintenance to repair or replace your drainage systems as needed.
