FLAT ROOF WATERPROOFING
Why Choose Polyurea for Flat Roof Repair and Protection
INVEST IN THE BEST FLAT ROOF WATERPROOFING
It goes without saying that your home or business should stay safe and dry, but that can be more difficult to maintain than you might think. Depending on a building’s construction and local environmental conditions it can be a constant battle to keep moisture out, especially with older builds. Several building elements in particular function as key points of vulnerability, where even small openings can create large problems, mostly notably including a building’s roof. Atop everyone and everything contained within a building, roofs can either be a bulwark against nature, or the front door for water and moisture. Complicating the issue, different roofing styles can further exacerbate the risks of water damage and infiltration, especially for the case of flat roofs. While more popular than ever before, flat roofs also make it easier for water to accumulate, where it’s more likely to permeate through a building and cause extensive structural damage. To help make the most out of flat roofs, polyurea flat roof waterproofing can be used as an easy, cost-effective, and multi-functional solution that’s perfect for flat roofs anywhere and of almost any kind.
WHAT’S SO SPECIAL ABOUT FLAT ROOFS?
Flat roofs are an increasingly popular type of roof construction, and it’s not hard to see why considering their numerous advantages over other roofing formats. To start, they’re typically cheaper and easier to build and maintain than sloped roofs since they offer a more navigable surface with plenty of room to store tools and equipment, typically take up less space and thus require fewer materials and less labor, and their shape avoids trapping warm air or allowing conditioned air to escape, which means less money spent on climate control efforts. Perhaps most interestingly, flat roofs create opportunities for another highly useful and enjoyable space, and are often converted into gardens or other types of recreational spaces. So what’s the problem? Well, for all their benefits, flat roofs suffer from one fatal flaw: their flat surface means that water and moisture can rapidly accumulate, making it easier for water to find the path of least resistance inside a building. Moreover, water need not even enter the building to cause problems for your flat roof. Water accumulation can instead be the cause of a compromised roof, creating one problem that quickly transforms into another. So while flat roofs are great for many different private and commercial buildings, they require additional protection to reap their benefits while minimizing their drawbacks.
