Ritco Group, Inc.

The owners and managers of properties are responsible for scheduling roof inspections on a regular basis. It is beneficial to perform routine checks to detect potential leaks and prevent damage to the building. It’s a good idea to employ roofing new construction and replacement experts to inspect your roof after a weather event as well. Addressing problems as soon as they arise will help keep your roof in good condition and able to protect your property better and last longer.   

Here are four common signs of damage on commercial roofs:

1. Surface Cracks and Tears

Commercial roofing systems that are aging are more likely to develop cracks and tears. This issue typically occurs around 15 years after the roof’s installation. Make sure your commercial roof is properly inspected and repaired if you observe irregularities on its surface. 

2. Flashing Damage

Most flashing damage occurs as a result of prolonged exposure. In addition to protecting roof vents, pipe protrusions and other roofing components, flashing also protects the roof against water damage. There is no need to worry about minor flashing issues because trusted roofers can fix them. However, a new roof may be required if the damage is extensive. 

3. Standing Water

Check your roof after heavy rain has passed to make sure it’s in good shape. Note any areas where water tends to accumulate. Roof drainage issues are often indicated by ponding water. If you notice any leaks in any other part of your property, you should get in touch with a professional as soon as possible. 

4. Dark Stains on Ceilings

Dark stains on your ceiling may be caused by leaking roofs. Contact a roofing professional right away so they can fix the leak. Your roof will quickly become rotted and moldy and suffer from other problems if you don’t address this issue immediately.
