Winter weather can wreak havoc on your
commercial roof, and when it comes to your business and roofing you can’t take
any changes as it pertains to your residents, employees or building equipment.
This is why it’s so important to ensure that your commercial roof is in good
working order and condition at all times.
We often receive questions about how often you
should have your commercial roof inspected. The most important thing to
consider if safety, and you can never truly be too safe. This blog will
highlight when to have your commercial roof examined by a roofing professional
and how often you should expect to have it inspected.
The rule of thumb in the roofing industry is to
have your commercial grade roof inspected twice a year. We highly recommend an
inspection during the spring and fall, before the extreme weather seasons. It’s
generally easier to schedule roofing inspections during these times, and also
in between seasons where your roof sees the most wear and tear. Of course, if
it has been over six months since your last inspection, we highly recommend
scheduling an inspection now rather than waiting for the end of the winter
season.
If you have direct access to your roof, it
might be tempting to complete a roofing inspection on your home. While it’s
good to keep an eye out for obvious structural damage, nearby tree branches or
pole wiring that could come in contact with your roof, a full roofing
inspection is an in-depth and detailed process that requires a roofing
professional. They can adequately and professional evaluate your roof,
determine if any repairs or replacement need to be made, all while keeping you
out of harms way.
