Professional Flat Roof Repairs Kensington

Liquid Waterproofing Solutions can help you today if you need Kensington flat roof repairs. Flat, concrete roofs may be aesthetically pleasing but do require a lot of maintenance. Various factors may lead to shifting or cracking such as ground movement, foundation settlement, and UV rays. The average life span of a flat roof is ten to fifteen years.

Six signs that your flat roof needs replacing:

  • Bubbling, blistering, and adhesion failure.
  • Exposed timber, tears, cracks, and splits.
  • Poor falls, small outlets, and ponding on the roof.
  • Water leaks caused by adjoining walls and upstands not being sealed properly.
  • Any type of organic growth, such as moss or lichens, which indicates a leak or water retention.
  • The type and design of the roof may be an indicator.

When roofs are not well built or well-maintained, the roof may make certain noises that could indicate that a repair or replacement is required. Here is a list of five common noises and when to repair or replace the flat roof:

Heat-Related Cracking

These noises occur with temperature changes. This will be most notable when the sun is up or the air-conditioning unit is switched on. A roof inspection will detect any cracks or joints that are under pressure.

Snapping and Popping

When a new roof is installed over an old roof, the old roof carries the weight of the new roof which may result in snapping and popping noises. The old roof needs to be removed to prevent further noises.

Banging

Banging occurs during mild and windy weather as a result of parts of the roof being loose or not fixed in place. An inspection will detect the loose parts and the parts can be replaced by a qualified technician.

Creaking

This noise is a result of roof material and joints not being able to expand due to changing weather conditions as the roof builder has not made provision for this. Water damage may also cause a cracking sound. A professional technician will find the source of the noise and may suggest possible solutions.

Loud Rain

Noise from rain is inescapable, however, the building material of the roof can minimize this sound. If the sound is noisier than is reasonably expected from these types of roofs, an inspection may be required. Additional insulation should fix the problem but there are other solutions as well.
