WHY ROOF INSPECTIONS ARE IMPORTANT AND WHAT TO EXPECT
A commercial roof is an essential component of any business property, providing shelter from the elements and protecting valuable assets.
However, over time, commercial roofs can develop issues that may compromise their effectiveness, leading to leaks, damage, and even collapse. Regular commercial roofing inspections are crucial to identify and address these issues before they cause significant damage or pose a safety hazard.
As trained and licensed roof inspectors in Charlotte, NC, OneSquare Roofing provides inspections at affordable rates.

COMMON PROBLEMS AFFECTING COMMERCIAL ROOFS
- Exposure: Flat roofs are constantly exposed to the elements, including the sun, wind, and hail. Over time, this exposure can lead to damage.
- Ponding Water: Flat roofs don't always provide proper drainage for precipitation. The lack of a natural slope can lead to standing water on the roof.
- Structural Movement: Natural expansion and contraction due to temperature changes can affect flat roofs. Excess movement can cause roof membranes to crack.
- Blistering: Blisters occur when air or moisture becomes trapped between layers of the roofing material.
- Membrane Degradation: Flat roof membranes (such as EPDM, TPO, or PVC) can degrade over time due to UV exposure and weathering.
- Lack of Maintenance: Regular inspections and maintenance are essential for flat roofs.
- Leaks: Leaks are all too common in buildings with flat roofs. If a flat roof is not properly maintained, it can lose its ability to effectively shed water.
- Punctures/Splits/Tears: Storm damage, pedestrian foot traffic, and other factors can lead to punctures or tears in flat roofs.
- Poor Installation: Improper installation can result in various problems, including inadequate flashing and poor seam sealing.
- Roof Coatings: While roof coatings can extend the life of a flat roof, improper application or using the wrong type of coating can lead to issues.
