Finding Wind Damage on Your Commercial Roof
Updated: May 16
Be on the Lookout for Roof Wind Damage
Here in Colorado and throughout the west, high winds can be a common occurrence, especially during winter blizzards and in the Spring, when winds can reach near hurricane speeds. These winds won’t only blow the hat off your head, they can damage your commercial roof, too.
Thankfully, today’s commercial roofs are designed to withstand wind. However, it’s important to inspect roofs periodically for wind damage, especially after windy weather.
Signs of Wind Damage
Damage to flashing
Damaged insulation, deck panels, or membrane
Tears, punctures, wrinkles
