When Replacement Is Needed

Building over problems would compromise the new roof. For a Chesterton office building, addressing the deck and insulation is important, since the new roof needs a sound base. The base is made sound.

Installing the New Roof

With the foundation sound, the new roof is installed, built properly to protect the tenants and the building for years.

It helps to understand the relationship between the roof and the rooftop HVAC on an office building, since the two are more connected than they might seem. The HVAC keeps the tenants comfortable, but it sits on the roof and depends on the roof to keep its penetrations watertight, while the roof must accommodate the equipment and the servicing it requires. When the roof is replaced or repaired, the HVAC has to be worked around and kept functioning, and when the HVAC is serviced, the roof around it is affected.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the HVAC affect my office roof?

The HVAC affects your office roof in several ways. The rooftop units create many penetrations through the roof, each a potential leak point that must be properly flashed. The foot traffic of servicing the equipment can wear the membrane around the units. And the roof must keep these penetrations watertight while the HVAC is kept functioning to maintain tenant comfort. The roof and HVAC are interdependent on an office building. For a Chesterton office building, Chesterton Commercial Roofing handles the HVAC penetrations and coordinates with the equipment. Call (765) 676-3491 for a free inspection and roofing that keeps your HVAC penetrations watertight and protects your tenants comfort.

Do HVAC units cause roof leaks?

HVAC units do not cause leaks by themselves, but the penetrations they require and the foot traffic of servicing them are common sources of office roof leaks. Each unit's curb and the penetrations for ducts and utilities must be properly flashed, and as those flashings wear, they can let water in. The servicing traffic around units can also wear the membrane. Proper flashing and maintenance keep the HVAC from becoming a leak source. For a Chesterton office building, Chesterton Commercial Roofing flashes and maintains the HVAC penetrations on your roof. Call (765) 676-3491 for a free inspection and repair of leaks around your rooftop equipment.

Do you coordinate with HVAC service?

Yes. Office roofing involves coordinating with HVAC service, since the technicians who service the rooftop units access the roof and their work and traffic affect it. We coordinate roofing and HVAC care to protect both the roof and the equipment, keeping the penetrations watertight while the HVAC is kept functioning for tenant comfort. The two systems are interdependent, so coordination helps both. For a Chesterton office building, Chesterton Commercial Roofing coordinates with your HVAC service as part of caring for your roof.

Can you flash my rooftop equipment properly?

Yes. Flashing the rooftop equipment properly is essential to keeping an office roof watertight, since the curbs and penetrations of the HVAC units are potential leak points. We flash the equipment penetrations properly and maintain those flashings as they wear, keeping the many vulnerable points on an office roof sealed. With the extensive HVAC on office buildings, proper flashing is a key part of the work.
