Spray foam roofing is well-known for its durability and reliability; once it’s installed correctly, you can expect your roof to last for decades, provided you take care of it and have it resprayed regularly. However, nothing lasts forever, and it’s important to know exactly when you should have your foam roofing fully replaced.
Here are some tips on knowing when it’s time to replace your spray foam roofing.
You’ve Noticed Signs of Leaking
This is the biggest and most important sign to look out for – if you’re finding leaks, or even water stains, within your building, then you need to check your roofing as it’s probably not performing up to its usual standards. Left untreated, leaks can cause issues with mold and mildew, and can even affect the stability of your roof if the leaks are especially large. Don’t risk it; if you hear that dripping noise, or see that water is getting into places it shouldn’t, then get in touch with professionals to have your roof fixed or replaced as soon as possible.
Your Roof Has Suffered Damage
Whether it’s from the effects of severe weather or another unfortunate event, damage to your spray foam roofing indicates that it’s time for a replacement. Even if you think the damage is confined to a small area, it can still affect the overall stability of your roof, and leaving it unaddressed can also invalidate your warranty and your business insurance. Don’t let a small hole become a big problem!
Your Roof Deck is Sagging
This could be caused by leaks, or by poor construction, but if an examination shows that your roof deck is sagging, you need to replace it straight away and have new spray foam roofing installed as soon as possible. The whole deck will need to be stripped out, as well as the roof membrane, and then replaced, with new foam roofing laid down on top of it.
