When you really think about it, your roof is one of the most important parts of your building. No matter if you’re a homeowner, property owner or own a business or industry, your structure has a roof over it.

Many commercial and industrial buildings have flat roofs keeping water, animals and all of the elements out. It is important throughout the year to keep water, snow, wind and more out of your building in order to keep up with safety and code regulations. The trouble is, however, that roofs that are poorly maintained or that are in need of repair can be the source of multiple problems. The following are a few reasons why you should get a free roof analysis from the Duerson Corporation to determine the structural integrity of your flat roof.

You Can Prevent the Damage from Getting Worse

With early detection, a leak or damage to your roof can result in only minor repairs and minimal costs to your business. In fact, if you catch a leak quickly enough, it’s quite easy for the Duerson Corporation to repair the leaky roof and fix the problem. If you wait or do not get your roof inspected when the leak is first noticed, the damage to the roof can spread, or cause other flooding or mold damage inside. Leaky roofs are a common source of mold and mildew in industrial or commercial structures, and once the mold spores have attached to the inside of your building, your problem becomes much greater than a small hole in your roof. By getting a roof inspection, you’re able to detect and stop these leaks early, reducing your chances that you will have a mold problem later on.

If you do notice a leak in your commercial or industrial flat roof, don’t hesitate to report a leak through our website and we’ll respond quickly.

Determine if You Need a New Roof

Another very common reason to have your roof inspected is to determine if you need a flat roof replacement. If it’s been many years since your structure was built, or you can’t remember when your flat roof was installed, it may be wise to have professionals like those at the Duerson Corporation to inspect your roof. They’ll be able to determine the structural integrity of your current roof, as well as to go over your options to replace your roof. The average commercial roof lasts roughly 10-15 years, so if it’s been longer than 10 years, call the Duerson Corporation for a free roof analysis. We exclusively re-roof using the Duro-Last roofing system and are able to install a custom fabricated roof system quickly with the added bonus of it being an energy-efficient green choice.

Determine the Value of Your Property

If you are a property owner or manager, or a corporation that owns its own building, having your roof inspected is an essential tool to assess and value your property. This comes in handy both whether you’re planning on renovating or selling your property, and also if you’re trying to figure out your property taxes. When it comes to selling a building, it often will sell a lot quicker and at a higher price if the buyer sees a beautiful new Duro-Last roof on it that he or she knows will last many years.
