Is Your AC Secretly Ruining Your Roof? (A Quick Tip from a Pro)
Hey, I'm Cody. I'm the commercial project manager here at 1Source Industries, and I want to share a quick tour of something you may see on the roof of your business that can be a major problem down the line.
You might not think twice about the air conditioning units on your roof, but their condensation lines are pumping out water all day long. If that water isn't draining properly, it can cause ponding issues, which is just a fancy way of saying you have standing water on your roof. You can see how the water just sits there, slowly wearing down the roof membrane.
That's a big deal. Standing water is a silent threat. It can weaken your roof's integrity, leading to leaks and costly repairs you could have avoided.
Our Solution: The 1Source Difference
One of the first steps in our process when we're designing a new roof system is to fix this exact problem. We want to get that water off your roof as quick as we can.
We do this by re-tapering the area and adding tapered insulation. This creates a perfect pitch and fall, directing all that AC condensation and rainwater out to a gutter and off the roof as fast as possible.
This attention to detail is what sets us apart. We don't just put on a new roof; we design a complete system that addresses your building's unique challenges, so you can avoid future issues and extend the life of your investment.
