If you own or manage a commercial property in Brevard County, Florida, you already know how critical a reliable roofing system is to your building’s safety, efficiency, and long-term value. Between Florida’s humid climate, hurricane risk, and intense UV exposure, commercial roofs in this region take a beating year-round.
At Spilker Roofing & Sheet Metal, we specialize in commercial roofing solutions across Brevard County —including custom TPO roofing, metal roofing systems, and in-house sheet metal fabrication. Below are five of the most common roofing issues we see in commercial buildings (and how you can prevent or fix them).
1. Ponding Water on Flat Roofs
Flat or low-slope roofs are common on commercial buildings, but improper drainage can lead to standing water, which weakens your roof membrane over time. If left unaddressed, ponding water can cause leaks, mold growth, or premature system failure.
✅ Our Solution: We offer TPO and flat roof systems with advanced drainage design, including tapered insulation for added protection.
2. Roof Leaks After Heavy Rains
Leaks are often caused by failing seams, cracked flashing, or aging membranes. In Brevard County, summer storms and hurricane season put roofs to the test.
✅ Our Solution: Spilker Roofing provides free commercial roof inspections and emergency repairs — we’ll identify weak points and make the necessary reinforcements.
3. UV & Heat Damage
Florida’s relentless sun can degrade roofing materials quickly. UV rays cause cracking, blistering, and shrinking — especially on older TPO or EPDM roofs.
✅ Our Solution: Our reflective, energy-efficient TPO systems help reduce heat absorption and extend the life of your roof — perfect for buildings in Melbourne, Viera, Palm Bay, and beyond.
4. Wind & Hurricane Damage
Brevard County properties are vulnerable to tropical storms and hurricanes. Improperly fastened roofing systems can peel off or fail under high wind loads.
✅ Our Solution: We install code-compliant, hurricane-resistant commercial roofing systems — including reinforced metal roofs custom-fabricated in-house to meet your building’s needs.
5. Neglected Maintenance
Many commercial roofs fail prematurely simply due to lack of routine inspections. What starts as a small issue can become a major repair if overlooked.
✅ Our Solution: Our commercial roof maintenance plans include biannual inspections and proactive service to protect your investment long-term.
