The Benefits of Commercial Roof Waterproofing

Your commercial roof protects you from the elements and maintains the structural integrity of your building. It’s one of your greatest physical assets, and it’s something you need to proactively maintain over time. As your commercial roof experiences wear and tear, you’ll need to consider repairing or replacing it. But in the meantime, there are a handful of strategies that can help you extend the lifespan of your commercial roof. One of these strategies is commercial roof waterproofing. But why is it beneficial? And how can you get started?

What Is Commercial Roof Waterproofing?

Let’s begin with the basics. Commercial roof waterproofing involves modifying the roof so that it has waterproof features. The roof becomes completely sealed, capable of repelling water, snow, and ice to prevent costly leaks.

Almost all forms of commercial roof waterproofing include some kind of waterproof roof coating. That means you’re not replacing the roof itself; you’re applying an additional layer on top of the existing roof. There are a few approaches to applying this waterproof coating. For example, you could use a rubber waterproof membrane or a simple roof sealant to tackle the job.

Different approaches to commercial roof waterproofing have different strengths and weaknesses, so it’s important to work with a roofing contractor who knows the area and has plenty of experience. Here in Seattle, we have to deal with unique weather patterns and challenges for commercial roof maintenance. It’s best to hire local roofing contractors to find the perfect roof waterproofing approach for your needs.

The Benefits of Flat Roof Waterproofing

These are some of the top benefits of flat roof waterproofing:

Increased Roof Lifespan

Applying a waterproof coating to your commercial roof extends its service life. It’ll suffer much less wear and tear overtime, which means it can last for many years without needing a replacement.

Higher Energy Efficiency

Waterproof coatings don’t just repel water; they also do an excellent job of reflecting heat and UV radiation. That means they’ll keep your business cooler in the summer. This in turn keeps your business more comfortable and reduces your energy bills.

Reduced Interior Humidity

Waterproof roof coatings keep moisture out of your building, which means less humidity and a more comfortable environment for everybody.

Quick and Easy Installation

Waterproof coating installation is relatively fast and easy. You’ll need the help of a professional to do it, but it’s not an expensive job.

Low Maintenance

Waterproof roof coatings are known for their low maintenance, but they need to be inspected regularly and replaced when they take damage or begin to fail. However, these coatings are durable and long lasting, and they shouldn’t require much ongoing effort on your part.

Lower Costs

Finally, waterproofing your commercial roof saves you money. You’ll spend less on roof repairs and ongoing maintenance, and you won’t have to deal with expensive roof replacements as often. You also won’t have to worry about water leaks causing massive damage inside your building.

The Importance of Preventative Maintenance

There’s one more important thing to note here: waterproofing your roof doesn’t mean you’re exempt from ongoing roof maintenance in the future.

Preventative maintenance is crucial for maximizing the lifespan of your roof and taking care of small issues before they grow. Your waterproof coating should prevent most if not all leaks, but this coating isn’t guaranteed to last forever, nor is it capable of preventing every single problem associated with your roof. Make sure you schedule an annual roof inspection to ensure the continued performance of your commercial system.
