If you’re planning to purchase a building, one of the things you should carefully look into is its roofing system. Additionally, you might want to hire a professional to conduct a thorough inspection. This way, you can be sure not to miss small details or any minor damage that may cause you big problems in the long run.
Roofing by Curry, one of the most trusted roofing contractors in the area, lists some of the most important questions you should ask during a commercial roof inspection.
“Is the Roof Well-Maintained?”
Proper roof maintenance goes a long way when it comes to prolonging the life of a roof. Typically, this means that the roof is in top form, so you likely won’t have to deal with a major issue in the near future. Through some signs or symptoms, your inspector can determine if the roof has been neglected or did not receive proper care.
“Has the Roof Ever Been Repaired?”
It’s okay for roofs to have gone through some repairs. Roof repair could even be a positive indication of the roofing system’s health. However, you should be wary if a particular type of repair has been done repeatedly on the roof. This could mean a recurring problem due to poor quality of installation.
“Is the Roof Drainage System in Top Condition?”
This is an important question to ask especially if the roofing is flat. Flat roofs are usually more prone to “pooling”, so it must have an efficient drainage system. It would also be great if there is an alternate roof drainage, so water runoff can still leave the roof in case the primary drainage becomes clogged.
