    Your roof is the first line of defense for your commercial property, and as a result, it’s bound to suffer from general wear and tear, water, and weather damage. Small, seemingly insignificant damages can quickly spiral into more costly fixes if left untreated—or may even require you to replace your roof entirely. Here are some signs that your commercial roof needs to be repaired:

    • Cracks or holes
    • Damage to flashing
    • Gaping seams
    • Interior water leaks
    • Increased energy costs
    • Excessive pooled water
    • Loose roofing materials

Common Causes of Commercial Roof Damage

Commercial roofs are prone to damage from weather, daily operations, and service personnel. In order to better protect your business, get ahead of repairs by being aware of these common causes of roof damage:

Severe Weather

Living in Wisconsin means your commercial building is at the mercy of heavy snow, rain, hail, and wind. This severe weather can cause serious damage to your roof, such as punctures, cracks, and tears.

Extreme Temperatures

Extreme changes in temperature (such as rapid heating and cooling) can cause your roof to expand and contract, weakening the roofing materials and seams and allowing moisture to leak through.

Standing Water

If your flat roof isn’t draining properly, it can lead to large pools of standing water. Over time, these can seep into the roof and weaken the overall structure, leading to deterioration, leaks, and mold growth.

Foot Traffic

Commercial roofs often have service personnel walking across them. If they don’t stay on the designated walkways, they can cause accidental punctures or tears that lead to further roof damage.

Lack of Maintenance

If you ignore maintenance on your commercial roof, including failing to clean debris, address drainage issues, or conduct regular inspections, then small, insignificant damages will be able to worsen.

Poor Installation

If your commercial roof was poorly installed, it can lead to water leaks and subsequent damage. Examples of this include loose flashing around HVAC units or misaligned roofing materials.

What Are the Risks of Ignoring Commercial Roof Repairs?

If you choose to ignore signs of damage on your commercial roof and don’t get it repaired, the damage will only worsen. Eventually, what was once a small hole in your roofing membrane, for example, can lead to more serious water damage, structural issues, and increased energy costs.

It also means that the repair costs will be higher and more time-intensive than they would have been initially, and may require you to pause operations while things get fixed. Repairing your roof as soon as possible can help protect your property, business, and investments.

Frequently Asked Commercial Roof Repair Questions

  • Yes, your business can likely stay open during roof repairs. At Standard Roofing & Restoration, we do our best to minimize disruptions and stay out of your way, oftentimes scheduling repairs before or after business hours. However, there may still be some noise, debris, and detours caused by the project, as well as contractors on your property.

  • An experienced roofing company will thoroughly inspect your roof to determine whether it needs to be repaired or replaced. They will consider things such as your roof’s age, its current condition, and any interior and exterior damage.

    At Standard Roofing & Restoration, we’ll be honest about whether you need a repair or a replacement. After all, our recommendations are based on what is best for you and your business (not our wallets).

  • Depending on the severity of the damage and the size of your commercial property, a roof repair can take anywhere from 1 to 5 days for minor fixes, while major restorations can take up to a few weeks. At Standard Roofing & Restoration, we’ll always give you an estimated repair timeline, so you know what to expect.

  • In some instances, yes, your business insurance will cover the cost of emergency repairs. However, it depends on whether or not the damage was caused by a “sudden or accidental” incident that’s covered under your policy, such as wind or hail. Review your policy details or speak to your insurance provider for more information.

  • No, it’s not recommended that you repair your commercial roof yourself. Although it may seem easy to make DIY fixes, commercial roofing systems are complex and require specialized equipment. They’re also often high off the ground and have heavy HVAC equipment, posing hazards that only a professional roofer will know how to navigate. Attempting to make repairs yourself may end up costing you more in further damage, injury, or a voided warranty.
