Roof leaks can quickly lead to damaged insulation, equipment and inventory inside a building. Spring is a vulnerable time for leaks because of the potential damage caused from the previous winter weather and frequent rain showers.

Common causes of roof leaks:

• Membrane failures
• Drains and gutter issues
• Ponding water
• Flashing issues

5 tips to help prevent roof leaks BEFORE they happen:

• Ensure your roof is properly draining and not holding or ponding water.
• Inspect your ceilings and walls from inside the building to look for evidence of roof leaks or other damage that may have occurred.
• Periodically check for coping or metal flashing that’s missing.
• Remove debris like leaves, sticks and garbage so they don’t cause a backup in the drains.
• Implement a routine maintenance plan to help double your roof’s lifespan.
