New Year, New Roof: How to Know When You Need Roof Repair or a New Roof

The New Year is here, and you may be thinking: out with the old and in with the new. The question is: does this saying apply to my roof? The team at Just Leaks Roofing is here to help you decide if you need just roof repair or a complete new roof.

The answer to this question is far from simple. When deciding whether or not your commercial building needs a repair or replacement, we take several things into consideration, including the building’s function, climate, age of the roof, budget, and building code, to name a few. However, the first step to answering deciding on the status of your roof begins with a thorough assessment of your roof. From there, we will be able to discuss the state of your commercial roof and how to proceed.

During an assessment, we will thoroughly inspect your commercial roof. We will carefully analyze:

  • Water infiltration.
  • Interior and exterior damage.
  • Roof membrane movement and damage.
  • Deck and structure issues
  • Best options for you, your business, and your budget.

At first, there is no simple answer to whether or not your roof can be repaired or needs to be replaced. After thorough and detailed assessment of your roof, you will have a final answer. With the New Year upon us, you may need a new roof, or you may be able to hang onto to the past for just a little bit longer. Call Just Leaks today for a comprehensive roof inspection at 408-249-4646. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year.

New Year’s Resolutions for Your Roofing System

Did you know that 45% of Americans make New Year Resolutions, and the top four categories are self-improvement, weight/health, money/job and personal relationships? At Just Leaks in San Jose, we don’t want you to forget about your commercial or industrial roofing system. We have compiled 3 resolutions you can easily complete, especially when you have us on your side.

 

  1. Inspect: Annual roofing inspections and reports are incredibly important in protecting one of our biggest investments. A roof inspection on your commercial roof can save you time and money in the long run, and in California, we see many problems arising on neglected flat roofs. Many of this issues could have been prevented with a simple inspection and report.
  2. Clean: Many commercial roofing systems are afflicted with tons of debris, such as leaves and foliage. To ensure your roofing system doesn’t start to degrade prematurely, it is important to have your roofing system cleaned on a routine basis by professionals.
  3. Maintain: It’s common for business owners to think about their commercial roof as often as they do of their windshield wipers, and usually, it’s only in the rainy season. Our team can tailor a roof maintenance program to your operation and roofing system. This way, we ward off preventable, and typically, expensive problems.

 

With Just Leaks at your service, we think accomplishing these three roofing resolutions will be seamless. Not only will you feel empowered after knocking resolutions off your list, but your commercial or industrial roofing system will be ready to withstand virtually anything that comes its way. To schedule an appointment, call Just Leaks at (408) 249-4646.

Five Things You Should Know About Commercial Roofs

The Just Leaks Roofing team specializes in flat, industrial and commercial roofs. Many people who don’t know about commercial roofs assume that commercial and residential roofs are about the same. However, that is not accurate.

Commercial roofs are similar to residential roofs in that they have a life cycle, require maintenance, and do eventually wear out. But here are five things you should know specifically about commercial roofs:

  1. Commercial roofs cover larger square-footage, resulting in a need to be structurally stronger. Most commercial roofs have an HVAC tie-in on them, which means the roof needs to support the weight of a full-sized or multiple heating and air-conditioning units.
  2. Sheets of material used to cover flat or low-pitched roofs are known as membranes and the primary purpose of these membranes is to waterproof the roof area. There are different types of roofing systems and membranes, including AcryPly Polyester Membrane Systems, Spray Polyurethane Foam Systems, Built-up Capsheet Systems, and Metal Panel Roof Systems.
  3. The most common source of damage to industrial roofs is the heat generated by the sun, so to minimize this damage, many commercial flat roofs are white. White commercial roofs have a side benefit, which means the roof stays cooler, and the energy costs for the building owner during the summer months is typically lower.
  4. Flat, industrial roofs require annual maintenance. From removing accumulated leaves and tree branches and getting rid of pooling water, to inspections for leaks, commercial roofs need to be cleaned and maintained to protect the valuable electronics, equipment, products, and people working inside the building.
  5. Commercial roof replacement is less invasive for the people working inside the building, but it is an extensive process. The roof replacement of a flat, industrial roof is a long-term solution that will resolve all problematic roofing issues. But once the new roof has replaced the old one, it should last 20 years or more.

If you own a building with a flat, industrial roof, you can rest assured that Just Leaks has the experience, the suppliers, and the team that can service all your commercial roofing needs. If you would like an expert team to be your go-to roofer, contact Just Leaks in San Jose for a consultation. We will be happy to do an inspection and provide you an estimate for maintenance or repair. Call Just Leaks at 408-249-4646; available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and 365 days a year.

When & Why Should You Clean Your Industrial Flat Roof?

Autumn and Spring are optimal times to professionally clean your industrial flat roof. The reason? Cleaning your industrial roof at this time of year is a great time to inspect the roof and prepare it for the rainy season between October – February, and high temperatures in June – August.

When you have your commercial flat roof cleaned by Just Leaks, you can count on us to remove debris like tree branches, abandoned equipment or parts, leaves and trash remnants.

Sometimes flat, commercial roofs can get dirty when there are walls around the perimeter of the roof, as well as tall trees surrounding the building. If you want your roof to be clean and bright again so it can retain its reflectivity, the Just Leaks team will be happy to clean and inspect your roof. Not only do we have the tools, non-solvent cleaners, and the experience to properly clean the roof membrane, but we will also take photos of any areas that require repair or maintenance.

Fortunately, most flat, commercial roofs in the San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley do not get too dirty. Still, most roofs do acquire fallen leaves and trash that is blown on the roof from winds. A professional roof cleaning from Just Leaks will ensure that the drains will remain unclogged from debris, and there will be less risk of water pooling on the roof, which could develop into leaks and water damage.

Commercial roofs benefit in many ways after a professional cleaning, including:

  • Improved Membrane Performance
  • Improved Energy Savings
  • Visual Inspection of Membrane Condition
  • Faster Future Cleanings

If your roof is holding onto leaves and other debris, contact the Just Leaks team to get a roof cleaning estimate. Give us a call today at 408-249-4646.
