A Closer Look At Metal Roof Problems
|
- Loose Seams and Cracked Penetrations - Because metal roofs are made of rigid sheets fastened together expanding and contracting with the weather loosens screws, pulls at seams, and causes cracks to form around stacks and other penetrations.
- Rust and Corrosion - Snow, rainfall, and ponding water eventually cause rust and corrosion to form and holes to appear.
- Interior Drips - Inadequately insulated metal, chilled by cold temperatures cause condensation. This can cause dripping inside, even when the weather is dry outside. And the problem is compounded when oxidation occurs and rust forms on the inside of the building.
- Ice Build-up - Ice build-up in gutters can block water from properly draining off the roof during a thaw, creating a drainage back-up and providing more opportunities for moisture to enter through a roof's seams.
