When performing a commercial roofing inspection, we’ll assess every part of the roof for signs of damage.
Although many commercial property owners and managers understand the importance of routine maintenance, few realize that the roofing on these structures needs to be maintained and inspected on a regular basis. The roof tends to be one of the last areas that receives the attention needed, which is unfortunate because a roofing problem can wreak havoc on the structure, the interior, and the surrounding property. Even a small, damaged section of a roof can allow moisture to seep in, causing significant issues throughout the interior of the space.
In most cases, a roof leak doesn’t spring up overnight. By having a regular commercial roofing inspection, a property owner can minimize the risk of an unexpected leak that causes significant damage.

FAQs About Commercial Roofing Inspection
Commercial roofing inspections are a vital part of any building’s maintenance strategy. They allow property owners to detect issues early, plan for necessary repairs, and avoid the high costs associated with neglected roof damage. Below are some frequently asked questions that explain why roofing inspections are so essential and what you can expect from the process:
What is the purpose of a commercial roofing inspection?
The primary goal of a commercial roofing inspection is to evaluate the overall condition of your roofing system and spot early signs of trouble. This includes identifying damage from weather, age, improper installation, or neglect. Inspections are designed to catch minor problems before they become major leaks or structural damage. Regular inspections help maintain the performance of your roof, preserve your building’s interior, and extend the life of the roofing materials.
When should I schedule a roofing inspection?
Ideally, you should schedule a professional inspection at least once or twice a year—typically in the spring and fall. These seasonal checkups help ensure your roof is ready for the demands of summer heat and winter storms. It’s also wise to schedule an inspection after any severe weather event, such as heavy rain, hail, or high winds, to check for hidden damage. Additionally, inspections should be part of the due diligence process when buying or selling a commercial property or undertaking major roofing or construction work.
What happens during a roofing inspection?
During a commercial roofing inspection, a trained technician will thoroughly assess the roof’s surface and all critical components. This includes checking for cracks, punctures, membrane wear, loose flashings, pooled water, and debris around drains and scuppers. The inspection may also include examining rooftop equipment and ensuring any penetrations are sealed correctly. Once the evaluation is complete, you’ll receive a detailed summary of the findings, including photos or written documentation as needed.
