FAQS
Common Questions
THE ANSWER
A standard roof inspection includes a full walk of the roof system, reviewing seams, flashings, penetrations, edges, rooftop equipment, and drainage components. Conditions are documented with photos and summarized with clear, prioritized recommendations.
THE ANSWER
Most commercial roofs should be inspected at least once per year, typically in the spring and fall, and after major weather events. Older roofs, high-traffic roofs, or facilities with recurring issues may require more frequent inspections to stay ahead of deterioration.
THE ANSWER
Each inspection method serves a different purpose. Roof inspections provide hands-on evaluation of visible conditions. Drone inspections offer aerial visibility for large, complex, or hard-to-access roofs. Infrared inspections detect hidden moisture beneath the roof surface that may not be visible during a visual review.
THE ANSWER
Inspections focus on the roof system but also evaluate key transition points where leaks often originate, such as roof-to-wall conditions, parapets, and penetrations. When related issues in waterproofing, masonry, or architectural metal are observed, they are documented to provide a complete understanding of risk areas.
THE ANSWER
Inspection findings create a reliable baseline for decision-making. When tracked over time, data from roof, drone, and infrared inspections helps facilities teams prioritize maintenance, plan repairs, evaluate restoration opportunities, and forecast capital needs more accurately.
