Shingles can be a source of water leaks on commercial and residential roofs. Regular roof maintenance can ensure that we replace or repair any loose, old, or missing shingles before they can cause structural damage or internal roof leaks. Worn out or old shingles exhibit telling signs that they’ve reached the end of their lifespan, including:

A roof valley is formed at the meeting of two roof slopes and is an important means for water to travel off roofs. If improperly installed, roof valleys increase the risks for serious water leaks, as water can travel along the top of a shingle and find its way inside your building.

Roofing shingles can also experience leaks at headwall flashings, wall step flashing, chimneys, plumbing vent flashings, and furnace or B-vent flashing. Extreme weather conditions can also cause roof leaks. Wind can drive rain under roofing shingles, and in colder climates, ice dams can cause blockages to water flow, forcing it under flashings and causing leaks.

West County Roofing is well versed in addressing every cause of roof damage and leakage and applying effective roofing repairs to mitigate any damage and return your roof to like-new condition.

Although TPO is an energy efficient and cost effective roofing solution for many building owners, research is finding that TPO can wear, and in some cases, leak, from extreme temperatures and other factors.

TPO is installed in pieces, so it has inherent weak points at the seams. Extended exposure to high temperatures can cause TPO to flake and peel along these seams. Additionally, extreme temperatures have caused the plastic in TPO to warp and shrink, called ‘burnout.’ This damage can lead to water leakage and cause interior damage to your commercial building.

The roofing professionals at West County Roofing can assess this type of damage to determine if repairs to the seams will be effective in stopping any leaks.

Your TPO roof may be showing signs of general age, burnout, or water damage. If this is the case, West County Roofing can present various options to extend the life of your roof and avoid the expense of a complete replacement.
