Five Signs Your Commercial Roof Needs Attention Before Winter

A twenty minute walk of your roof twice a year will save you far more than it costs.

What to look for

**Blisters and ridging** indicate trapped moisture beneath the membrane.

**Open or lifted seams** are the most common source of active leaks.

**Granule loss** on modified bitumen means UV protection is gone.

**Interior staining** on ceiling tiles is water that has already been in the building for a while.

**Rising energy bills** with no change in usage often mean wet insulation.

If you see two or more of these, get an infrared moisture scan before the first freeze.
