Understanding Industrial Roof Repair

Industrial roof repair entails addressing damage or deterioration within industrial roofing systems. This includes the roofs of various large-scale facilities, such as factories, warehouses, and manufacturing plants. These repairs are vital for maintaining the functionality, structural integrity, and safety of the industrial building. Common issues that require industrial roof repair include leaks, weather-related damage, corrosion, wear and tear, and other material-related concerns.

Repair techniques for industrial roofs typically involve patching, sealing, recoating, or replacing damaged sections to restore waterproofing, insulation, and structural capabilities. Promptly conducting industrial roof repairs is essential for minimizing building downtime, preventing costly water damage, and ensuring the protection of valuable assets within the facility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Industrial roof repair involves identifying and resolving issues or wear in the roofing systems of large commercial or industrial buildings, such as factories, warehouses, or distribution centers. This type of repair becomes necessary when problems like leaks, cracks, punctures, or pooling water arise, potentially compromising the building’s structure and leading to costly damage to equipment or products stored inside.

The repair process generally begins with an inspection to locate problem areas, followed by sealing cracks, replacing damaged sections, or applying protective coatings to restore the roof’s water resistance and durability.

Industrial roof repairs can be more complex than residential work due to the size of the buildings and the need to accommodate heavy machinery or rooftop installations, like HVAC systems. Depending on the materials used—such as metal, EPDM rubber, or built-up roofing (BUR)—different techniques and products may be required to ensure an effective and long-lasting repair. Regular maintenance and timely repairs can extend the lifespan of an industrial roof, which can last between 20 to 50 years when properly maintained.

In some instances, advanced technologies, such as infrared thermal imaging, are employed to detect leaks or damage that may not be visible on the surface, ensuring a thorough repair. Addressing issues promptly not only prevents further damage but also minimizes the risk of disruptions to business operations, ensuring the facility remains secure and operational. By tackling issues early, industrial roof repair safeguards both the building and its valuable assets while avoiding the costs associated with more extensive repairs or potential downtime.

Metal sheet roofing systems are the most commonly used materials for waterproofing industrial buildings. The most prevalent issue faced with metal sheet cladding is cut edge corrosion. This occurs where the cut edge of the metal sheet is exposed due to the edge being cut to size. Over time, the elements cause corrosion at this exposed edge, which can erode the protective plastisol coating of the sheets. If left untreated, this can lead to a full replacement of the corroded metal sheets.

To address cut edge corrosion on industrial roofs, the following steps are typically taken:

  1. Clean the surface using a high-pressure spray.
  2. Remove any loose paint and corrosion with a hand grinder.
  3. Tape all roof joints with butyl tape and cover all screws.
  4. Use a sealant to fill any gaps over 2mm in diameter.
  5. Treat the cut edge corrosion with a suitable sealant.
  6. Cover all metal roof sheets with an appropriate protective coating.

Once this repair work is completed, if properly maintained, the roof can last an additional 10 to 25 years.

Several factors, including weather damage, wear and tear, and improper installation. We assess and address the root cause for lasting solutions.

Replacement is recommended when repairs are no longer cost-effective or if the roof poses safety risks. We offer expert evaluations to guide your decision.
