THE HIDDEN COST OF ROOF LEAKAGE IN COMMERCIAL
PROPERTIES

• Roof leakage issues arent obvious unless the
  damage is extensive and repairing becomes an
  expensive affair. Sometimes the roof may have to
  be completely changed.
• Hidden charges related to roof leakage include
  cost of damage caused by water leakage, cost of
  damage to products, equipment and other
  machinery, etc. Leaking roofs saturate the
  insulation beneath the roof and cause an increase
  in your energy bills.
• Water leakage related problems become a common
  occurrence. Insurance companies charge a higher
  premium if they suspect that the building is
  poorly maintained.
• Operation downtime You may have to stop
  operations until the roof is repaired. Covering
  the loss of revenue because of the downtime can
  be very difficult.
