Commercial Roof

Thermal shock can also occur from a roof getting really hot in the summer sun and then having cold rain fall on it. Roofing company Englewood

It’s hard on roofing and is made worse if there is existing damage from wind or hail or simple old age. Any break in the surface material of the roof will allow water to seep into the structure under the roof. This could cause wood rot and mold.

Signs of Thermal Shock

The obvious signs of thermal shock are buckling, cracking, and leaking of your commercial roof. Roofing materials expand and contract as temperature increases and decreases. The bigger the temperature swing, the more expansion and contraction takes place. If the roofing materials are old or are already damaged by wind or hail, this expansion and contraction will also cause buckling, cracking, and leaking.

If this damage isn’t repaired in a timely manner, it gets worse. Additional wind and hail can wreak havoc on a roof already damaged by thermal shock. And thermal shock can increase damage to a roof already affected by wind or hail.

Insurance

We work directly with insurance companies. We know how frustrating dealing with insurance companies can be and we spare you this frustration. The process is smoother if you have been getting regular roof inspections. Having routine commercial roof inspections makes any claims process easier since it is evident the roof has been taken care of.  If you are having an adjuster look at the roof after making a claim, we can be there at the same time to help create accountability.  Without the roofing contractor present, some items may be missing from the Statement of Loss. Having the Statement of Loss corrected adds extra time to the claims process and prevents the roofer from getting started right away.
