Signs that It’s Time for Roof Repair
While a roof leak is a telltale sign that it’s time to seek professional roofing repairs in South Florida, there is far more to the matter than just leaks. Consider all the following:
- Moisture Concerns – Once moisture begins to infiltrate your commercial property, it can take a serious toll in relation to environmental conditions. Signs that moisture may be seeping in through the insulation and down the inside of walls include increased humidity, water stains, and an influx of insects and rodents.
- Soaring Energy Costs – If your roof loses reflectivity, it can force your cooling system to work overtime to hold a comfortable temperature, which is not only costly but is also no small concern in South Florida.
- Damaged Shingles – When shingles are missing, curled, dented, broken, or otherwise damaged, it’s time to address roof repairs.
- Roof Blisters – Roof blisters generally form when moisture collects under the top layer of roofing. The more blisters, the more urgent the need for roof repair.
- Sagging – When a roof sags or has low spots, it’s generally indicative of an issue below the roof’s top surface, which is often caused by past ponding that compressed the insulation or a broken deck joist.
- Open Seams – When the adhesive or mechanical fastener that holds a seam together fails, water can seep in, and these open seams are a clear sign that roof repairs are necessary.
- Clogged Drains – Downspouts allow rain to flow off your roof as evenly as it falls on it, and when this doesn’t happen, it can mean clogged drains, which require repair.
- Inferior Flashing – Flashing is designed to send water away from critical areas on the roof, such as where it changes levels, at roof piercings, and around the parapet. When this metal flashing is missing, dislodged, or has visible gaps, it’s time to reach out for the professional guidance of a commercial roofing company.
- The Presence of Growth – Mold, moss, or mildew on a roof signals growth, which in turn signals rot and the need for roof repair.
- Visible Exterior Light – When light streams into the interior of your commercial property through its roof, it means that there are holes, empty spaces, or cracks that need to be repaired.
If You’ve Got a Leaky Roof
Even a minor leak in the roof of your commercial property can spell serious trouble. A leak is a clear sign that water is intruding through your roof, which means it’s time for a roof repair. A leak can lead to cascading problems that can significantly reduce your productivity and profits. Consider all the following:
- A leak can seriously shorten the lifespan of your roofing system and can lead to the need for early replacement.
- A leak can deteriorate the roof deck, which can compromise the safety of your employees and can require a costly deck replacement.
- A roof leak can require a shutdown of operations while you attend to necessary repairs.
- The water and moisture that enters your commercial property through a leaky roof can damage business equipment, electronics, office furniture and fixtures, inventory, ceilings, and flooring.
- The moisture and water that enters your roofing system can decrease the efficiency of both the building’s insulation and its HVAC system.
The Lifespan of Commercial Roofing
With proper maintenance, commercial roofing can last from 20 to 50 years. Property owners who are willing to invest the time, effort, and expense necessary to keep their roofs in excellent working condition tend to save money and extend the staying power of their roofs in the long run. By taking a proactive approach to roof maintenance, you can greatly improve the integrity of your roof and your commercial property overall.

Roof Repair vs. Roof Replacement in South Florida
If you’re not sure whether you need a roof repair or replacement, it’s a matter to discuss with a trusted commercial roofing company, but there are some basics for you to keep in mind, including:
- Every roof needs to be replaced eventually, which makes the age of your commercial property’s roof important.
- How well the roof has been maintained plays another important role in determining whether repairs or replacements are in order.
- If your roof has a history of leaks or other kinds of damage, it can move the needle toward replacement.
