Commercial Roof Waterproofing Service in the Front Range, CO

Several reasons may cause pooling water on your low-slope roof. If you notice pooling water on your roof, working on a solution to eliminating the problem will save you from ruining your low-slope roof.

Pooling is when water collects in pools on a low-slope roof, mainly after a period of heavy rains, and the raindrops do not drain off. Regardless of the roofing type you have, pooling water may result in negative consequences. A professional roofer from JeffCo & Beyond can examine the situation and offer you a solution.

What Causes Pooling Water?

You recently noticed pooling water on your low-slope roof, and you are even aware of how long the water has been standing there. You wonder what may have caused the pooling water. Well, pooling water is caused by several reasons.

In most common causes, the stagnant water results from poor drainage systems, resulting from poorly installed drains. Poor building designs and crushed insulation are also other causes of pooling water. The good thing is that JeffCo & Beyond is here to help you make amends n these areas that your first roofer did when roofing your commercial area.

How Does A Roofer Fix Pooling Water?

You probably are curious to know how we would help you fix your problem and help you avoid future pooling water from accumulating. Our team will try to flush off the drains system and ensure that water gets to be drained once it starts to accumulate. The drainage system will allow water to flow quickly, leaving your roof pool free.

Our team will add additional drain lines to ensure water drains smoothly, especially during heavy rainy seasons. If we also notice sagging or uneven areas on the roof that may favor the accumulation of pooling water, we try to level the area with the help of a pounding kit.

Since pooling water that has stayed there for a while damages your roof membrane, we work tirelessly to replace the roof membrane to avoid further damage. We may advise you on re-pitching the roof if we find it necessary.

What Are The Adverse Effects of Pooling Water on Your Roof

Once we take a look at the matter, we most certainly will inform you of the adverse effects of ignoring pooling water once you notice it on your roof. Here are the effects of pooling water.

1. Leads to the Growth of Plants

   When this water on your roof stays there for an extended period, plants such as moss will start growing on your roof. This may, in turn, damage the roof membrane and lead to more clogging causing additional pooling.

2. Damage to the Roof Surface

   Pooling water on your low-slope roof will damage the roofing membrane, and this may lead to roof leakages. In certain situations, pooling water may tarnish the color of the roof, making it look unpleasant.

3. Deformation of the Roof’s Deck Structure

   Pooling water certainly increases the load on the decks of the roof. As the pooling water accumulates on your roof, the more the deflection of the decks, thereby causing more accumulation of pooling water.
