What We Look at with Roof Inspections
Especially with hurricanes, but with any strong storm that comes through the area, there are several things that we will be looking for with a commercial roof inspection. We will be doing a full visual inspection of the roofing membrane condition, looking for scraping, punctures, and more. We will be looking at the flashing around protrusions in the roof, as well as seams around drainage areas and other areas. The drainage systems themselves will also be inspected, along with the rooftop equipment areas.
With this roof inspection, we are documenting what we find, both with writing as well as images. This is useful to have for a number of reasons, including having documentation from certified roofing specialists for any insurance claims you may have, which can include hidden damage that needs to be addressed, as well as having it for future planning for repairs and ultimately replacement.
Speed of Diagnosis Is Critical
Once a storm has passed, it is very important to get an inspection of your commercial roof done to assess for any immediate damage that must be repaired, as well as for insurance claims. These roof condition reports are vital for not only prioritizing the repairs needed to the commercial roof, but to also protect the tenants of the building and what they have inside. The sooner that property managers have this information, the sooner decisions can be made with solid information.
You may have annual commercial roof inspections in blank, but when you have experienced a hurricane, it is crucial that you schedule a roof inspection right away to document any damage and needed repairs. Commercial Roofing Industries is your professional, experienced, and certified roofing contractor that will provide you with a roof condition report. Contact us today to schedule yours and be sure your roof is in good condition after the storm.
