Roof inspection

Commercial Roof Inspection

Inspection of flat and low-slope roofs on offices, retail, apartments and light industrial buildings.

For a business, a roof leak means damaged inventory, closed rooms and unhappy tenants. Scheduled commercial roof inspections catch drainage, seam and flashing problems while they are still inexpensive to fix.

What we check

  • Membrane surface: blisters, cracks, punctures and exposed scrim
  • Seams and laps on TPO, PVC, modified bitumen or built-up roofs
  • Drains, scuppers and gutters for blockage and ponding water
  • Flashing at parapets, curbs, HVAC units and roof penetrations
  • Rooftop equipment supports and condensate lines
  • Previous repairs and coatings

Problems we find most often

  • Ponding water that sits more than 48 hours after rain
  • Open seams and failed laps
  • Unsealed penetrations after HVAC or solar work
  • Parapet wall flashing pulling loose

How long does it last?

Single-ply membranes such as TPO or PVC typically last 15–25 years; modified bitumen and built-up roofs vary with maintenance and drainage.

Signs it is time for an inspection

  • Ceiling tile stains or drips
  • Standing water on the roof days after rain
  • Recent rooftop equipment installs
  • Tenant leak complaints

Questions

Can you inspect while the business is open?

Usually yes. We coordinate roof access and timing with the property manager to avoid disruption.

Do you provide a report for property managers?

We can provide photos and a written summary of findings and recommended next steps when included in the agreed scope.
