Protect Your Building with a Thorough Roof Inspection & Trustworthy Repair Services
A flat commercial roof is a vital component of any building, providing protection from the elements and serving as a platform for various structures. After a major storm, it’s important to inspect your flat roof to ensure it’s in good condition and prevent any potential damage from turning into a bigger issue. In this article, we will highlight five key things you should look at on your commercial flat roof after a major storm to ensure its longevity and proper functioning.
- Damage to the roof membrane – inspect for punctures, tears, or other types of damage that can lead to water leaks.
- Debris and standing water – clear any debris from the roof surface and remove standing water to prevent pooling and potential damage to the roofing system.
- Flashings – inspect the metal flashings around penetrations, such as vents and skylights, to ensure they are secure and have not been dislodged or damaged.
- Drainage system – make sure that the roof’s drainage system, including scuppers and gutters, are clear of debris and functioning properly to prevent water from pooling on the roof.
- Surrounding structures – inspect adjacent walls, air conditioning units, and other structures on the roof for damage or displacement, which can affect the overall stability of the roofing system.
