Maintaining and Repairing Flat Roofs

The quality of a flat roof, over time, is determined by both, the materials used to construct the roof and the regularity of maintenance done throughout the years. Especially after harsh weather conditions. Flat roofs constructed with felt can sometimes be liable to issues such as blistering, ponding and splitting. Using HSA approved materials, Roof Solutions can provide you with the highest quality maintenance, repairs and replacements for all types of flat roofs. From decades of experience, we can asses and fix any issues you may be having with your flat roof.

Splitting, on a flat roof can be caused by many different things. Stress and pressure can cause the splitting as well as freezing and then thawing during cold conditions. It is very important to maintain your flat roof during these freezing temperatures.

Felt Splitting

During rainy conditions, which are often seen here in Dublin, pools of rainwater may stand in concave areas of the flat roof. if Ignored this these pools can cause damage to your roof. To curb this issue hoppers can be installed to collect excess water and more effective guttering can be investigated. Regular flat roof maintenance can help to prevent any damage that pooling may cause.

Dublin Snow Storm Roofing Damage

In the fallout of the recent Storm Emma here in Dublin, Ireland, Roof Solutions received a flood of inquiries relating to snow and high wind damage. As a country that rarely experiences the volume of snowfall produced by storm Emma, Irish homes can often be ill equipped for such conditions

One way roofing and guttering can be damaged by snow is through sheer weight. Depending on geographical location, building codes for load requirements may differ drastically. In Ireland The requirements are not nearly as high as, for example, Canada where temperatures can plummet as low as -50 °C. This means roofs in Ireland can be at risk during the extremely rare snowfall this year.

Another way snow can damage a roof is through the build up of ice. This happens when the heat from inside the house rises and melts the lower layer of snow on the roof. The liquid water then flows down to the gutters where it can form ice dams. The water then gets backed up and can run under the roof tiles and shingles causing internal water leaks and damage to the tiling and sheathing.   

If you think your roof or gutters have been damaged by the heavy snow, contact us and we can organise an inspection. Our highly experienced team can asses the damage and figure out the best repair strategy going forward.
