Warehouse & Office Building Roof Repair

These buildings usually do not require the same amount or type of roof maintenance as retail or industrial properties. Typically, the roof area will be populated with a few HVAC units, some skylights and a few other types of equipment. As a result, foot traffic on the roof is more limited than with industrial and retail roof areas.

While leaks and other roof deficiencies are less problematic than on most other buildings, commercial buildings tend to be a lot older in our area of the country. Older roofs tend to deteriorate rapidly because of extremes in weather. If the owner is responsible for roof leaks, often the tenant notifies the owner at any sign of leakage. However, if the tenant is responsible for leakage, it might not be addressed in a timely manner, and quite possibly be ignored. Prolonged leakage can cause severe damage (structural damage or mold).

To achieve the longest life possible on a Commercial Roof, it is important to conduct periodic roof inspections and perform roof maintenance at least once a year. One of the objectives for this is to remove leaves and other debris from the roof. It does not take very long for dirt and debris to accumulate on the roof. Drains can easily become clogged. Also, roof penetrations caused by tenant improvements are sometimes installed without the owner’s knowledge and may not have been installed properly. Keeping drainage cleared and being aware of tenant improvements will put the owners ahead of problems before damages occur.
