Uncovering Hidden Damage
While during the height of a storm you are likely to see water in unexpected places, what is more dangerous is what that water damage could mean down the line. Any wood structures related to your roof can be a potential area of mold growth with this water infiltration. The high winds can also have an effect on the roof structure, where portions can be weakened from the stress of the change in pressures between inside and outside of a property.
With high winds there is always debris that gets swept up and carried around until it strikes something solid. Branches and other debris can end up causing cuts and other damage to a commercial roof, which can lead to leaks and furthering of damage to the roof, as well as the interior of the building. And for many of these things, only a thorough roof inspection will catch them.
Known Issues Can Affect Your Insurance
Insurance companies often request roof inspections because they want to make sure that the structure that they are insuring is kept up and not allowed to deteriorate. If there are issues that are revealed and those are not addressed, then another storm comes along and destroys the roof, your insurance company might point at those areas that needed to be addressed as what made the difference between the roof staying in place or being ripped off.
