You should likewise know that calling your roofing contractor for repairs as soon as possible can help prevent further damage.
CONDUCT REGULAR INSPECTIONS
Depending on your commercial roofing type, you may need to conduct roofing inspections as often as every six months, or as infrequently as every three years. In either case, you should not neglect inspection schedules. As we mentioned above, the sooner your roofing contractor addresses a roofing problem, the less chances of further damage there will be. Also, such small problems typically cost less to fix.
