Condensation can allow moisture to seep in the ceiling and create damp spots on your building’s walls, all of which also point to a roof leak that obviously demands roof repair. However without the help of a roofing company like Masters Roofing, you may not notice these things for sure.
If you are wondering how to prevent condensation in commercial roofs, you are not alone. All commercial property owners are worried about the damaging effects of condensation. Here are a few things Masters Roofing wants you to know about this issue:
What Is It?
Condensation usually occurs on inside surfaces of skylights, windows, smoke vents and roof hatches whenever the outside surface temperature falls lower than the dew point temperature of the interior. Since warmer air can carry much more moisture than colder air, it can hold greater volumes of water when the temperature increases.
High-interior humidity triggers roof condensation. It can come from a building’s air conditioning and heating system, the way tenants use the building, improper construction methods and even human respiration.
How Do You Prevent It?
Avoiding condensation is all about eliminating moisture. And by eliminating moisture, you need to limit the amount of water vapor in the building. With sufficient insulation installed by a reliable general contractor, building owners can prevent condensation. Experienced roofers can also make sure that the building has proper airflow to allow moisture to properly escape. Building owners can also add roof vents, turbine vents and ridge vents to allow air to escape and eliminate the chances of condensation.
Condensation is not a phenomenon that’s out of your control. It’s a matter of understanding the root cause of the problem and controlling humidity within a commercial structure. By treating condensation problems with the focus it deserves, you can save yourself a lot of hassle.
