Innovative Engineering Provides Spring Commercial Roof Inspection Checklist

ATLANTA - April 13, 2023 - PRLog -- Many facilities often go year after year without a proper, comprehensive roof inspection. Managers may assume that the roof is sound and even ignore obvious issues, which will only become more and more severe.

Symptoms such as cracking, ponding water, and accumulated debris can indicate a significant problem. Regular, proper inspections of your roof can head off a more expensive repair in the future.

As we transition into springtime, there are many areas of your roof that may need attention after a long winter. For a full inspection, you should hire a professional. In the meantime, make it a point to give attention to these areas:

1. Check for dirt and debris on the roof and/or in drains and gutters.
2. Look for visible weather or impact damage.
3. Check for pooling water or ponding/water stains.
4. Check the flashing.
5. Pay extra attention to penetrations, skylights, and vents.
6. Look for vegetation growth on the roof.
7. Be on the lookout for mold or mildew growth.

There are many more potential signs of damage that could appear when you do a thorough roof inspection. Download our roof inspection checklist here: https://www.ieiusa.com/roof-inspection-spring-checklist/
