Work includes seam and flashing repair, drain and scuppers cleaning, gutter replacement, wall flashing and siding repair or replacement. The business serves Cleveland and nearby Northeast Ohio communities from an office in Lorain, Ohio. ## Why do low-slope commercial roofs leak, pond and fail at the seams? - Low-slope roofs usually fail at seams, flashing and penetrations rather than in the open field, according to CR3 American Exteriors - Cleveland. - Seams: thermal movement from Cleveland's temperature swings slowly opens seams over time. - Flashing: flashing at parapets, curbs and rooftop units can pull loose and let water behind it. - Punctures: foot traffic from equipment service can puncture the roof surface. - Ponding: under National Roofing Contractors Association guidance as described by CR3, water still on the roof 48 hours after rain is generally treated as ponding, and it speeds up wear. - Once water reaches the insulation, freeze-thaw cycles and added weight start breaking down the roof assembly from below. Catching problems early can keep a seam repair from becoming a section replacement. ## What does a commercial roof inspection from CR3 American Exteriors - Cleveland include?

According to CR3 American Exteriors - Cleveland, replacement makes more sense than repair when leaks keep returning in new spots, damage is widespread, or the roof has reached the end of its service life. Two options are used depending on conditions: a full tear-off, which removes the existing roof down to the deck so the deck can be inspected and repaired, and a recover, which installs a new roof over the existing one. A recover only works when the existing roof is dry and building codes allow the added layer, so CR3 checks moisture conditions first.
