A recently released two-year breakthrough study estimates the annual direct cost of corrosion in the United States to be $276 billion. While this is a sizeable number, larger than many of the world's economies, it has been estimated that 25-30% of the total, or $70-80 billion, could be saved by using state-of-the-art corrosion management practices. In addition to the cost savings, corrosion can result in public and industrial safety issues.

CC Technologies (Dublin, Ohio) conducted the research in a cooperative effort with the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). NACE International - The Corrosion Society worked with Congressional representatives to secure $1 million in federal funding for the study.

The study identified the direct cost of corrosion in five major sectors of the economy - infrastructure, utilities, transportation, production & manufacturing, and government.

Common Metal Roof Problems

CONDUCTION ~ CONDENSATION ~ CORROSION

Leaks most commonly occur at . . .
End Laps ( Horizontal Seams ) ~ see SUPERBASE HS ®
Side Laps (Vertical Seams ) ~ see SUPERBASE HS ®
Valley Gutters
Ridge Caps and Ridge Ventilations ~ see SUPERBASE HS ®
Flashings ~ see SUPERBASE HS ®
Bad Fasteners ( Screws ) ~ see SUPERBASE HS ®
Holes
Gutters
Skylights ~ see SUPERBASE HS ®
Access Hatches ~ see SUPERBASE HS ®


Most leaks result from or are worsened by . . .
Rusted Metal Panels ~ see RUSTGRIP ®
Roof Movement ( expansion \ contraction ) ~ see SUPERTHERM ® or SUNSHIELD 2000 ®
Overloading Roof With Equipment
Foot Traffic on Roof
Faulty, Clogged or Improperly Sized Gutter Systems
Faulty Construction / Poor Design
Old Age
Over Tightening Fasteners
Loose or Missing Fasteners


Rust generally occurs because of . . .
Exposure to the elements ( Acid Rain, UV ) ~ see ENAMOGRIP ® or ENAMOGRIP WB ®
Corrosive substances in the air ~ see RUSTGRIP ®, ENAMOGRIP ® or ENAMOGRIP WB ®
Age of the building
Foot traffic which causes broken corrugations
Breakdown of factory coatings
Over tightening of fasteners during installation
Debris left on the roof
Building movement
Condensation on interior side ~ see SUPERTHERM ®, SUNSHIELD 2000 ® or EPOXOTHERM ®


What to do when a metal roof begins to leak or rust . . .
Call a licensed roofing consultant, architect or contractor ( ie. Roofing Contractors Association of BC www.rcabc.org ) and ask for a roof survey. ( An Eagle Specialized Coatings Consultant will do this at no charge )
Determine exactly what the problems are.
Develop a repair or replacement strategy that not only solves today's problems but one that is also compatible with a long term maintenance plan.
