A possible structural problem, a leaky roof in your Riverview apartment building, poses several safety risks that can easily result in significant damage. There are many possible causes for a leaky roof, and they can also go undetected for a while. Once you find there is an issue, you may have a fair amount of water intrusion inside the building.
Roof leaks in your commercial building can pose the need for water removal services in Riverview. You may be dealing with several tenants’ apartments suffering from some level of damage depending on where the leak occurred. You need the professional help of SERVPRO, a trained and experienced remediation company.
At SERVPRO, we understand that when something like this happens, it is unexpected, and it can affect many people at one time. Therefore, we are courteous to work around everyone as carefully as possible. If the water damage is not significant enough for people to temporarily need to stay elsewhere, we do not want to be a massive interruption to everyone’s daily lives.
SERVPRO technicians can use moistures sensors to detect the moisture in carpeting and padding. These sensors have sharp probes which penetrate through the padding and carpeting so we can figure out if water has gone to the subfloor below. We also utilize thermal imaging cameras to inspect and monitor the moisture in building materials.
High winds can damage your roof and torrential rains, or maybe the roofing materials were not installed correctly. It is wise to perform regular inspections on the roof to check for any damage. The flashing can also be installed improperly or missing. If the metal around the edges of the roof, dormer windows, vent pipes, or skylights breaks or becomes loose from storms or wind, the edges of the roof membrane cover are exposed, which lets water and moisture seep into your roofing system and building.
Other causes of roof leaks can be drains or pipes that puncture the roofline not being secured properly, or skylights were installed incorrectly. Even the insulation along the edges of the skylight can decay over time. All these things can allow water to leak inside your building.
