Modern commercial roofs are designed to provide low maintenance, durable protection against the elements. But while they typically can last 10 years or more with minimal intervention, it is always a good idea to perform routine inspections. Out of sight, out of mind may be the typical approach until things go wrong but catching problems early saves time, money, and aggravation down the road. Often the first indication of trouble is a significant leak that damages property, but there are more subtle warning signs to look for when inspecting your roof.

Your commercial building’s roof is the first line of defense against the elements. No matter the region or climate, commercial flat roof systems must work to protect against all types of precipitation, strong wind, UV radiation, extreme temperatures, foot traffic, and storm debris. When leaks and other problems develop, they can lead to serious property damage and costly repairs. The good news is that even if you notice a leak, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you must replace the entire roof. But getting leaks and other roof issues properly assessed by a roofing professional should be an urgent priority. It never pays to procrastinate!
