Comercial Roofing and Ac Units

Every roofer will eventually come into an ac related leak. It can result from clogged drain line and pan, faulty filter, motor or capacitor failure or just a refrigerant re charge needed. Tinroof has access to same day ac tech in the event of a punctured ac line, normally due to poor line to deck clearance or troubleshooting. Most contractors or roofers run from ac roof leaks. It’s especially hard to detect and rule roof or AC issue for the majority of Roofers and especially Ac technicians, It really takes a lot of experience to pin point leak source on or near an ac unit on a Comercial flat roof, evaluate ventilation, assess rodent entries, and even a simple life expectancy evaluation of roof, believe me for us, Tinroof can easily evaluate problem and concern, that most builders, roofers or contractors will miss. Ac related leaks can be just as nuisance, Most leaks are curb roofing detail related or from ponding around unit. It actually is also common for a ac unit to leak from dirty coil or lack of maintenance. Meaning the inside will sweat and leak into inside of membrane. Most Comercial roofs have steel deck and metal decks runs parallel to structural beams, so it’s not uncommon to find a leak from X source and religiously spreading as such to resemble two separate leaks, taking consideration of structure, material, pitch, most Comercial leaks are from one source and can appear as two leaks but in reality are a result from result of poor Maintenance to Ac , poor detail to ac curve flashing, or ponding behind the unit if it exceeds 23” across, a cricket saddle is needed,Yearly ac maintenance is recommended for Comercial units. The easiest solution is to walk aways and recommend an ac tech, at Tinroof we stand behind our inspections and leak detection ability, we also find it easy to determine if it’s roof or Ac related leak or both and a solution to both. Remember, when it leaks…roofers always get the first call!
