Don’t Ignore a Problem with Your Roof

Have you ever heard the saying, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it?” This doesn’t exactly apply to your roof, unfortunately. 

When it comes to your roof, you should try to get to the problem and fix it long before it actually breaks. This can be the difference between a small, easy repair and a costly renovation. Your roof will show you signs that it’s struggling even before the flood gates open up. Before your leaf has a problematic leak, it will have some other problematic symptoms of a leak. You should be on the lookout for:

• Leaks. Even small leaks turn into significant leaks. In fact, it’s almost more rare for a giant leak to come out of nowhere–typically, all leaks have a small leak in the beginning. 
• Cracks. If you’re noticing cracks but no leaking, it may just be because you’re in a dry season. When the rain starts to pick up again, the cracks will likely begin leaking. 
• Droopy ceilings. If you touch a part of your ceiling and it begins to jiggle, there’s only a little time left before it completely bursts!
• Discoloration. This could mean many things, but typically it might mean water is gathering in one place on your roof, which will put pressure on that part of the structure. A discolored patch may be the first sign that something isn’t going well drainage wise. 

We don’t have to tell you that ignored problems just don’t go away, no matter how much we hope they do. Often, they actually come back more challenging to handle than they would have been before. We understand if you don’t have the time or resources to get your roof fixed today. However, make sure it’s on your list of priorities!

We’re more than happy to check out whatever drips or leaks are threatening the safety of your business. If you are interested in learning about the various roofing systems or installing a solar system on your commercial or industrial building(s), call Just Leaks at (408) 249-4646 for an in-person consultation.

Roof Maintenance and Your Business

We know that it’s hard to think ahead.

 Especially in our fast-paced and ever-changing world, planning for the next storm can be difficult. Often, we’re still repairing damage from a different crisis by the time the next one rolls around. That’s why you must take preventative action when you can. If there’s anything you can do to ensure you don’t have extra costs down the road, even if that means spending a little money now, you should do it.

 This brings us to our main point: you need to invest in roof maintenance to invest in your business. Sure, it’s not as glamorous as a life coach or a new snack vending machine, but it will save you so much money in the long run. Having someone come by and make sure everything is sturdy and safe can prevent a collapse in the winter. Patching up a few things is always less expensive than a massive crisis repair.
