3. Clogged gutters or drains: Debris-filled gutters can cause water to back up and overf low, leading to leaks. 4. Roof valleys: Areas where two roof planes meet (valleys) can be prone to leaks if not properly sealed or maintained. 5. Ice dams: Ice buildup at the roof's edge can cause water to back up and leak into the roof. 6. Tenting: Older rubber roofs will sometimes see tenting along the parapet walls caused by shrinking or shifting rubber due to age or improper installation. 7. Aging or damaged coping: Gaps or bad joints in coping material can lead to leaks. You should consider replacing the roof of your facility when it: 1. Shows signs of wear and tear: Significant damage, leaks or deterioration can compromise the structure's integrity. 2. Reaches the end of its lifespan: Most roofs have a limited lifespan (e.g. 20-30 years). 3. Fails to meet performance standards: If the roof no longer provides adequate insulation, weather protection or energy efficiency. 4. Is damaged by extreme weather: Heavy snowfall, strong winds or hail can cause significant damage or prematurely age a roof. 5. Is no longer energy efficient: Upgrading to a more energy-efficient roof can reduce costs and improve the facility's overall performance.
