How Often Should Industrial Roofs Be Inspected?
Every business owner likes to prevent problems before they start. One way to avoid costly issues with a roof is by having a professional inspect it twice a year. Bi-annual inspections help building owners catch minor roofing issues before they become major. The inspection report includes a full list of repairs and upgrades that are recommended to sustain the roof up to and, in many cases, beyond its expected lifespan.
Some of the things looked for during an industrial roof inspection include:
- Leaks
- Drain blockage
- Blistering
- Cracks
- Surface degradation
- Deteriorated sealant
- Structural damage

When we have any issues, which is seldom, he sends out his crew and inspects and reports back to us. Usually the issue is internal or due to an non roof component of the weather seal. If it is the roof, the repair is executed quickly and covered under warranty.

Most Common Causes of Industrial Roof Leaks
Spotting discolored areas on ceilings or walls is often an indication that an industrial roof is leaking. Additional signs include water dripping from the ceiling or roof, strong odors, and signs of mold. Once a roof leak is suspected, the difficulty is finding the source.
There are several potential causes of industrial roof leaks, including:
- Insufficient maintenance
- Inadequate design and installation
- Advanced age
- Lack of drainage
- Blocked drainage
- Faulty roof flashings
- Damaged membrane
Beyond these issues, there are also several vulnerable areas on an industrial roof, such as vents, piping, roof lights, gas lines, and HVAC units. When these areas are not properly sealed and maintained, they are susceptible to leakage, causing significant damage to the roofing system and the building’s interior.
