How often should I inspect my commercial roof?
If you notice small damage, standing water, or experience interior leaks, you should call for an inspection right away. There are a few other times you will want your roof inspected:
- Before a severe weather season. Don't wait until the leak has already done damage!
- After a severe weather season or big storm where damage may have occurred.
