Don’t wait for visible leaks to act. This simple checklist helps you prepare your commercial roof for the unpredictable freeze/thaw weather still ahead, and shows when it’s time to bring in a professional.
✓ Inspect Drains & Scuppers
Make sure drains and overflow scuppers are clear of debris. Standing water is the #1 enemy of flat roofs during temperature swings.
✓ Look for Ponding Areas
Water should not sit on your roof longer than 24–48 hours after precipitation. If it does, those areas may need attention.
✓ Examine Flashings & Penetrations
Check around rooftop equipment curbs, vents, and perimeter flashings. Stress from freezing can compromise seals over time.
✓ Note Any Interior Signs
Stains on ceilings, soggy insulation, or increased humidity inside the building can all point back to your roof.
✓ Schedule Expert Evaluation
Consider a professional roof evaluation before spring fully arrives. ASI’s comprehensive assessments include debris removal, drain cleaning, minor repairs, and condition documentation to help you plan ahead.
