How Often Should Commercial Roofs Be Inspected

The roof on your commercial property is an essential component of your building envelope, one that needs to be taken care of like any element of your building. Ideally, commercial roofs need to be inspected by a professional twice a year, once in spring, to check for any damage that might have appeared during the winter and again in fall, to check for any damage that might have been caused by the summer and to prepare the roof for the upcoming cold season.

Centennial roofing inspections

The semi-annual Centennial roofing inspections that you schedule for your roof will include a number of processes. Your roofer will inspect the ground around your building to check for any crumbles that might indicate a roof fault. In the next phase, your roofer will clean and inspect the roof surface from roof level, removing any dust and dirt and checking for any sign of damage, such as cracks, dents, signs of shrinking, blistering or other. The process will also involve the cleaning and inspection of the roof drainage system to prevent any roof issues potentially caused by ponding water. If any damage is found during the cleaning and inspection process, your roofer will discuss with you the best course of repair action.
