Commercial roofs should generally be professionally inspected at least twice per year and after significant storms, high winds, hail, construction activity, or suspected water intrusion.
Spring and fall commercial roof inspections can identify problems before they develop into major leaks or structural damage.
A professional commercial roof inspection should evaluate:
- Roofing membrane and seams
- Flashing and perimeter edge metal
- Roof drains and drainage paths
- HVAC curbs and rooftop equipment
- Pipes and roof penetrations
- Previous roof repairs
- Signs of ponding water
- Membrane punctures or deterioration
- Evidence of moisture entering the roofing system
Preventive commercial roof maintenance can extend roof service life and help building owners plan repairs and replacement before an emergency occurs.
