Common Rooftop Issues
Incorrect materials, improper installation, environmental conditions, and age are all factors that contribute to rooftop deficiencies that can affect the service life of a roof.
Below are examples of some of the most common rooftop issues that Dycon encounters:
Water that remains on a roof area for an extended period of time is typically referred to as 'standing water'. Long-term and continual exposure to standing water will not only accelerate the deterioration of the membrane and shorten the estimated service life of the roof system, but can also pose a structural safety hazard as a result of the additional weight.
Excessive vegetation growth on a roof can impede drainage, attract birds, mosquitoes, and other wildlife to the roof, and accelerate the deterioration of the roof membrane. With routine maintenance, this condition can easily be corrected.
Many buildings do not meet the current, applicable code for the installation of perimeter safety railings. Dycon can assist you in identifying and obtaining the appropriate safety railings' installation.
