Commercial roofs typically have a larger surface area and a flat design, making them more vulnerable to damage. It is therefore recommended that commercial roofs be inspected at least twice a year. Below, we go into greater detail regarding what our knowledgeable roofers do during an inspection. When you’d like to schedule a commercial roof inspection in San Francisco, call the experts at Advantage Roofing to do the job.
Starting Inside
Initially, the interior area below the roof will be inspected. This is due to the fact that any damage to the interior roof will make it obvious where the exterior problems are. If there are wet spots inside the building, there will undoubtedly be exterior damage as well. An experienced contractor will use this information to find the leak when inspecting the external roof.
Outside Inspections
The contractor will assess the roof from the outside after determining which sections need to be examined more closely. We'll also look at other kinds of damage, such as holes, water flow, and water pooling.
The inspector will typically take roof cores, which are samples of the strata of the roof. The condition of the strata is shown via a core sample. The core sample can determine whether your roof needs to be replaced immediately or if a short-term fix would do.

After the assessment is finished, a detailed inspection report will be given. Depending on the extent of the damage, our roofing professionals can offer you options for repairs or, if necessary, a roof replacement.
