Local weather can be deceiving. You may think only hail, snow, and storms damage your roof. Even sunny days can cause wear and tear on your commercial roofing system. That is why we’ve put together this Vandalia commercial roof inspection checklist to help you prevent unwanted repair costs.

1. Track Active Aging – Active aging does not refer to the calendar age of your roof installation. Active aging is determined by the weather, cracking, standing water, mold, and mildew. These issues and more can be assessed by implementing a regular preventative roof maintenance program.
2. Leaks – Most but not all leaks occur along the edge of a seam. Other common factors are UV rays that damage flat roof membranes including organic material that builds up on your roof. A thorough annual roof inspection can give you an accurate assessment of the state of your roof and what proactive steps to take to prevent future issues. 
3. Storms and Winds – Damage from high winds, hail, and horizontal rain entering through worn edges and seams can lead to costly interior water damage repairs. Contact Van Martin for a free commercial roof inspection.
