The Importance of Having A Functioning Roof For Your Business
Here are some reasons why it’s important to maintain a functioning roof:
- Makes both workers and guests feel safe and comfortable.
- Protects against extreme weather and prevents damage to equipment and other assets.
- Reduces the likelihood of having to pause operations until repairs are complete.
What Can Happen If Leaky Roofs And Water Damage Are Not Treated Right Away?
- Because the majority of commercial roofs are either flat or low pitch, the slightest puncture can quickly turn into a major leak.
- Water damage can affect more than just the roof – it can cause falling ceiling tiles with water stains.
- When important equipment is damaged, it can result not only in financial loss but also productivity losses.
- Damaged roofs contribute to higher utility costs as the roof is your central hub for your building’s thermal envelope.
- Water damage can also destroy your insulation.
- Wet floors can create a slipping hazard.
