Standing seam metal roofs have proven their worth when it comes to offering unparalleled durability. They add value in providing a weatherproof residential roofing solution. Still, the performance of any roofing system can be sacrificed by multiple penetrations. When done poorly, these penetrations can trigger leaks, property damage and unexpected expenses.
With some ways to cope with rooftop penetrations, rooftop equipment mounting can be made simple without sacrificing your roof’s quality:
Penetration Locations
Homeowners should assess all planned roofing penetration spots to make sure they will not create leaks or other problems. Moreover, they should be located so they can be sealed with no immediate obstacles that would make the seal to the roof difficult. Masters Roofing suggests that homeowners should place penetrations in locations that have the least amount of water draining into the area around it.
Always Plan Ahead
The most effective way to address all structural penetration issues is with proper planning (and, to a degree, regular roof repair). Avoiding any damage to the property would be ideal and homeowners can possibly cause problems in their projects. Still, if penetrations are unavoidable, then Master Roofing needs to review your roof’s current condition immediately. This is the best way to ensure that proper materials and expertise are in place in case unexpected structural problems happen.
Always Seek the Help of Roofing Professionals
When your standing seam metal roof is installed by professional roofers, it’s likely that the penetrations are sealed properly. By contrast, penetrations sealed by non-roofing professionals will likely fail as they are not likely to finish the job the way expert roofers would.
