What Causes Blisters in Flat Roofing?

Keeping your commercial property safe and damage-free is a year-round priority. That’s why it pays to check your flat roof regularly for possible damage. One of the issues you’re likely to notice is blistering, which refers to a number of raised spots where the roofing membrane has lost its adhesion. Air or water may fill this space, growing larger until it forms a bubble. Patriot Roofing, the trusted roofing  company in the area, discusses some of the reasons blistering occurs, and how you can prevent it.

Trapped Moisture

Flat roofing systems are generally prone to blisters. When the moisture contained inside the raised surface is exposed to heat, it expands steadily and allows even more moisture to seep into the bubble. If overlooked, this blister can worsen and lead to repair work, or in extreme cases, premature replacement.

If you’re investing in a new flat roof this season, you can prevent blisters from forming on the system by dealing with excess moisture. Patriot Roofing, the area’s trusted  roof repair  contractor, can help you with this. Prior to installing your new roof, we make sure all the materials we use are dry and installed in dry conditions. This effectively prevents moisture from getting into the roof and causing blisters to develop.

Improper Installation

An incorrectly installed flat roof can cause poor adhesion between the materials. Because they are not firmly attached to each other, the space between can form into blisters over time. You won’t have to worry about this when you turn to Patriot Roofing for your flat roof installation. Our skilled and experienced roof technicians will install your system to manufacturer specifications, which in turn eliminates the potential of blisters.

Poor Ventilation

Aside from correct installation, your flat roofing system will need proper ventilation. This prevents heat and moisture buildup, which is the primary reason blisters form on the roof surface. You can schedule a comprehensive roof checkup and maintenance with Patriot Roofing. With our trained crew, we’ll catch any problems with the roof’s ventilation and deal with them promptly to reduce the possibility of blisters.

Whether it’s  gutter installation  to commercial roof replacement, Patriot Roofing will always ensure exceptional workmanship backed by decades of experience. We can also handle your residential roofing and siding needs. Our service areas include Norman and Midwest City, OK. Call us today at (405) 996-6787 or fill out this  contact form  to schedule your roof evaluation.
