    Common Roofing Challenges for Educational Institutions

    With more than a century of combined roofing experience, the SlopePro team understands the unique roofing challenges faced by schools. These issues include:

    Ponding Water

    Schools are often built with low-slope roofs. Though the low-slope design maximizes interior space, it makes the roof vulnerable to ponding water. If left unaddressed, excess moisture can lead to leaks, mold and mildew growth, and other problems.

    HVAC Penetrations

    Large schools require extensive HVAC systems. To safeguard these systems from vandalism and theft, they are typically mounted on the roof. If improperly installed, this equipment can impede water drainage and cause leaks over time.

    Skylights

    Skylights allow natural light to enter schools and colleges, reducing the need for overhead lighting. The only catch? Exposure to UV rays and weather can deteriorate seals around skylights, allowing water to seep into the building.

    Aging Infrastructure

    Because of budgetary concerns, many schools struggle to keep pace with roof repairs. Unfortunately, neglected roof maintenance can shorten the roof’s lifespan, forcing educational institutions to replace the roofing system earlier than expected.

    SlopePro's Commercial Roofing Solutions for Educational Institutions

    Backed by more than a century of combined experience, the commercial roofing experts at SlopePro are skilled in both school roof repairs and replacements.

    Preventive Maintenance Programs

    Our school roof repair services are proactive in nature. Regular inspections allow us to catch minor roofing issues before they become more extensive and expensive.

    Our preventive approach includes:

    • Performing regular assessments to gauge roof health
    • Sealing penetrations around HVAC units and other equipment to prevent leaks
    • Addressing minor damage such as punctures, tears, and cracks
    • Assessing roof drainage systems to mitigate ponding water
    • Offering honest and transparent communication so you feel supported during the roofing process

    Commercial Roof Replacement Services

    At SlopePro, we know that replacing a school or college roofing system is a big investment. That’s why we start by conducting a 12-Point SlopePro Forensic Inspection. This comprehensive assessment will offer insight into whether your roofing system needs to be replaced or if repairs will suffice.

    If your roof does need replacing, we offer five-star craftsmanship and customer service, working hard to minimize disruptions to your students’ learning.

    Commercial Roofing Material Options

    The SlopePro team is experienced in all commercial roofing materials, including:

    • Built-Up Roofing: Made of multiple layers of bitumen and reinforcing materials such as fiberglass and felt, built-up roofing is durable and weather-resistant.
    • Green Roofing: Green roofing involves installing living vegetation, such as grasses and sedums, on the rooftop. This provides environmental benefits such as improved air quality, stormwater management, and energy efficiency.
    • Spray-On Silicone: With a spray-on silicone roofing system, liquid silicone is applied directly to the roof substrate, providing a water-tight seal.
    • Thermoset (EPDM) Roofing: Made of synthetic rubber, EPDM roofing is used in low-slope roof applications because of its durability and flexibility.
    • Thermoplastic PVC & TPO Roof Membrane: These roof membranes are made of synthetic compounds that are resistant to UV radiation, chemicals, and punctures.
    • Metal Roofing: Metal roofs are extremely durable and long-lasting, providing reliable protection against harsh weather conditions, such as high winds, heavy rain, and snow.
