Roof Condensations Repairs
Stop hidden moisture damage with expert roof condensation repair.
Roof condensation often affects industrial and commercial tilt-ups when foil insulation or radiant barriers trap moisture. Left unchecked, it can damage structural wood, cause corrosion or sagging, and even lead to roof collapse.
At Saunders Seismic, we repair roof condensation problems to protect your building’s structural integrity and extend its service life. Our team identifies trapped moisture, prevents further buildup, and reinforces compromised framing so these issues don’t compromise safety or stability.
What you can expect:
Specialized Expertise
Decades of experience resolving moisture-related damage in industrial and commercial buildings.
Targeted Solutions
Venting, insulation removal, and structural reinforcement to stop condensation at its source.
Efficient Process
Repairs carried out with safety in mind and minimal impact on your tenants or operations.
1. Inspection
We assess the roof system to locate trapped moisture and evaluate damage. In some cases, an engineer is needed to design the repairs.
2. Moisture Mitigation
Depending on conditions, we remove or vent foil insulation to eliminate condensation buildup.
3. Structural Reinforcement
Where needed, we install wood or steel ledgers, hangers, and supports to strengthen weakened roof members.
4. Comprehensive Repair
Usually includes complete foil or insulation venting and a structural inspection, with any additional damage reported to ownership.How We Fix Roof Condensation

FAQ
What exactly causes roof condensation?
Roof condensation forms when warm, moist air inside the building rises and meets cooler roof surfaces, creating liquid droplets that get trapped between the roof deck and insulation. Poor ventilation, roof leaks, and certain tenant operations can make the problem worse.
Early signs include black streaks on beams or hangers, rusted nail plates, discolored or sagging hangers, and corrosion at structural joints. These indicators show that moisture is already weakening the roof system.
Seismic retrofits—like roof-to-wall anchors or plywood overlays—can complement condensation repairs by addressing structural vulnerabilities and getting your SUL below 20.
Not always. Localized issues can often be fixed directly, but if damage affects more than 30% of the roof structure, full-building repair is usually the most cost-effective option.
