We check seams, penetrations, drains, edge metal, attachment, and interior reports. A hands-on walk may be paired with drone imagery or infrared moisture mapping when access or concealed layers call for a broader view. A commercial roof inspection records the visible system and next action. A moisture survey helps identify areas that need confirmation before removal is priced.
A ceiling mark does not locate the roof opening by itself. We compare the interior evidence with the roof plane, then narrow the likely water path. The leak investigation documents the suspect area, while an emergency roof response can protect an active opening at any hour, including weekends and holidays.
A localized opening can be repaired when nearby membrane, insulation, and attachment remain sound. Repeated failures, wet layers, or damaged deck may point to a larger correction. The commercial repair scope identifies the detail and boundary. Where existing layers should come out, a replacement plan sets tear-off limits, substrate allowances, and close-in sequence.
Recover work is considered only when the existing assembly is dry, secure, and compatible. A recover assessment checks those conditions, including edges, drains, and penetrations, before another layer is proposed. A coating also depends on adhesion and substrate preparation; it cannot correct wet insulation or weak attachment.
Michigan's 2021 commercial building and energy codes took effect statewide in April 2025. Code review is part of project coordination, not a substitute for checking the existing assembly. We compare proposed work with available plans and applicable review requirements, then identify any open design question before the crew reaches the roof.
A finished repair needs a clear photo record and any follow-up item called out. In an occupied office or production building, the report also marks work hours, protected routes, and areas left for another trade. A planned maintenance visit can check drains, seams, flashing, and prior repairs over time. Emergency response remains available around the clock, while planned work is scheduled around access and operating windows.
Share the address, roof plan, leak history, access details, and the area that needs attention first. We will inspect that section, separate visible findings from concealed questions, and put the next decision in writing for the building team.
A hands-on roof walk shows seams, flashing, fasteners, and surface damage at close range. Drone imagery can help document broad conditions or areas with restricted access. Infrared moisture mapping can identify patterns that need confirmation, but it does not replace a test cut where concealed layers control the repair choice. We select the method based on the question, roof access, and safety limits. Commercial roof inspections produce a record of findings and remaining uncertainty.
Removal exposes the assembly to weather, so the daily work limit has to match the crew close-in window. We stage materials, protect the opening, complete the repair detail, and inspect the tie-in before leaving that area. On an occupied site, we also confirm the route below and clear debris from the work zone. Replacement planning identifies where the work can be divided into controlled phases.
A recover is considered after checking moisture, attachment, compatibility, and edge height. The existing assembly must support the added system.
Yes. Emergency response is available at any hour, including weekends and holidays, to assess and protect an active opening.
When a moisture pattern could change the scope, we confirm it with targeted testing.
It means the opened area is secured against water, the tie-in is checked, and any remaining exposure is documented for the next work period.
