Every year thousands of businesses count the cost of roof leaks. Roof leaks can cause significant damage to your property and stock, disrupt your operations and incur huge costs.

Here at RoofCare we consider that roof leaks occur for three principal reasons;
-
Roof Fabric Deterioration
-
Inadequate Drainage Performance
-
Poor Maintenance
As a result of roof fabric deterioration and poor maintenance, debris build-up can occur. This results in blockages, reduced drainage capacity and over time will compromise waterproofing and reduce the life of your roofs.

Changing weather patterns also have an impact. Rainfall from extremely wet days has increased by around 17%.
