Appleton Flat & Rubber Commercial Roofing Serving Wisconsin's Fox Valley

Many commercial buildings have flat roofing. A perfectly flat surface will not drain naturally after it rains or snows. Standing or ponding water can lead to expensive leaks.

Professional roofing installation from Infinity Exteriors on a “flat” roof will include low slopes with a very slight pitch to drain water. Other features like flashing materials and gutters will also promote better drainage.

Chimneys, windows, and HVAC systems all create gaps in roofing material requiring flashing. If the flashing is not installed correctly, it won’t keep water out.

Infinity Exteriors will recommend the right material and style flashing for your roof. will give you an estimate on installing and replacement so you know the costs upfront.

DIY roofing projects may mix incompatible materials, leading to a weaker membrane more prone to shrinkage. Poor installation may result in an ill-fitting roof with shrunken sections.

Professional roof installation will result in a better fit with the right materials, reducing the chances of shrinkage.

Improper installation can cause sections of the membrane to separate from the roof. This leads to the loose sections blowing around or filling up with air.

Expert roof installation and regular maintenance from Infinity Exteriors will keep the membrane material in check.

Ponding water on the roof can leak through to the inside of the building. The moisture can weaken the wood and create the perfect environment for mold.

Pay attention to the interior of your roofing. Any indoor leaks or water stains are likely being caused by a roof issue.

Birds and animals only need a very small space to enter a building. Minor tears in roofing material are more than enough. Once in, they can wreak havoc on the rest of the roof.

Reduce the potential entrances animals will create. Have the professionals of Infinity Exteriors fix all holes in your roof material, cover gutters, and watch for membrane shrinkage.

Heavy tree limbs and sharp branches can cause a lot of roof damage. Even a small branch can penetrate a roof in the right conditions. A single tear in the weatherproofing can let water enter the building, leading to more problems.

Keep trees near your building trimmed or hire a professional to handle your landscaping.

Poor building insulation heats roof snow and ice from below, causing it to melt while the rest stays solid. 

Infinity Exteriors contractors will install insulation at your property to prevent the creation of ice dams and save energy. With heat no longer escaping through the roof, your heating system can take a break.

Commercial-grade HVAC systems include a lot of parts and weight. This adds additional strain to the roof. Repair or maintenance work on the unit can lead to foot traffic damage as well.

Always have your roof checked out before and after installing a new HVAC unit. Infinity contractors can check to see no part of the roof was damaged during the installation process.

Regular foot traffic can lead to wear and tear. Certain types of shoes and heavy tools can damage roof material. These scrapes and rips ruin the weatherproofing. 

Only certain employees should be allowed on the roof for any reason. If anyone has to work on the roof, supervise the work.

Many commercial properties are leased out, making it difficult to know who should be keeping tabs on maintenance issues.  

Employees should be trained to notice and report major problems. Hire Infinity Exteriors for regular checks and maintenance.

DIY kits are mass-produced and usually meant to create temporary fixes. Sometimes the results don’t work at all. In worst-case scenarios, inexperienced workers can injure themselves while on the roof.

Call in the professionals of Infinity Exteriors whenever you need work done on your roofing. Not only are the results more reliable, but it’s also safer for your workers.
