  1. SIGNS YOUR FLAT ROOF NEEDS REPLACEMENT

  2. INTRODUCTION Is your flat roof showing signs of wear and tear? It might be time to consider a replacement. Flat roofs are common in many buildings, but they require regular maintenance and eventually replacement to ensure they continue to protect your property. Here are some easy-to-spot signs that indicate your flat roof may need replacing:

  3. BLISTERS AND BUBBLES: LEAKS: One of the most obvious signs is water leaking into your building. If you notice water stains on your ceiling or walls, it's a clear indication that your roof is no longer keeping water out effectively. If you see bubbles or blisters on the surface of your flat roof, it's a sign that moisture has become trapped underneath the roofing material. This can lead to further damage if not addressed promptly.

  4. SAGGING: A sagging roof is a serious problem that requires immediate attention. It indicates that the roof structure has been compromised and is no longer able to support the weight of the roofing material. CRACKED OR DAMAGED MEMBRANE: The membrane of a flat roof is crucial for its integrity. If you notice cracks, tears, or other damage to the membrane, it's a sign that the roof is no longer providing adequate protection. PONDING WATER: Flat roofs are prone to ponding water, especially if they are not properly sloped for drainage. If you notice water pooling on your roof for more than 48 hours after a rainstorm, it can lead to deterioration of the roofing material and eventually leaks.

  5. VISIBLE WEAR AND TEAR: Take a close look at your roof. Are there signs of wear and tear such as missing or damaged shingles, deteriorating flashing, or rusted metal? These are all indicators that your roof may need replacement. AGE OF THE ROOF: Flat roofs typically have a shorter lifespan compared to pitched roofs. If your roof is approaching or has exceeded its expected lifespan, it's a good idea to start considering replacement options. INCREASED ENERGY BILLS: A poorly performing flat roof can result in increased energy bills as your heating and cooling systems have to work harder to maintain a comfortable temperature. If you've noticed a significant increase in your energy costs, it could be due to a failing roof.

  6. CONCLUSION If you notice any of these signs, it's essential to act quickly to prevent further damage to your property. Consult with a professional roofing contractor to assess the condition of your flat roof and discuss replacement options. Investing in a new roof will not only protect your property but also provide peace of mind knowing that your safeguarded against the elements. building is properly + 1 206-399-6256 www.oasisconstruct.com info@oasisconstruct.com 11069 16th Ave SW Seattle, WA 98146
