COMMERCIAL ROOF INSPECTIONS

Professional Commercial Roof Inspections for Buildings Across the Lower Mainland

At In Awe Roofing Ltd., we provide professional commercial roof inspections for businesses, commercial properties, property managers, strata properties, and other buildings throughout Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, and surrounding areas. Whether you are dealing with a leak, managing an aging roof, planning maintenance, or preparing for a future roof replacement, a professional inspection can provide valuable information about the condition of your roofing system.

With 20+ years of roofing experience, our team understands the requirements of different commercial roofing systems, including low-slope and flat roofing, SBS torch-on, EPDM, TPO and PVC coordination, metal roofing, drainage systems, skylights, flashing, and roof penetrations.

Our goal is to help property owners and managers understand current roof conditions and identify areas that may require repair, maintenance, monitoring, or future replacement.

WHAT WE INSPECT

A Detailed Look at Your Commercial Roofing System

Commercial roofing systems can contain multiple components that work together to protect the building. Our inspection focuses on accessible areas and visible conditions that may affect roof performance.

Depending on the property and roofing system, our inspection may include:

Roofing Membranes – We assess visible membrane conditions for damage, deterioration, open seams, punctures, and other potential concerns.

SBS Torch-On Roofing – Where applicable, we inspect visible modified-bitumen membranes, seams, flashing details, and areas showing signs of deterioration.

EPDM Roofing – We assess visible EPDM membrane conditions, seams, transitions, penetrations, and other areas requiring attention.

TPO & PVC Roofing – Where applicable, we assess visible membrane conditions, seams, flashing, penetrations, and related components.

Metal Roofing – We inspect visible metal roofing components for damage, deterioration, fastener concerns, seams, flashing, and other conditions.

Flashing & Penetrations – We assess accessible flashing around walls, curbs, pipes, vents, skylights, mechanical equipment, and other roof penetrations.

Roof Drains & Drainage – We look for blocked drains, drainage restrictions, ponding, debris accumulation, and other conditions that may affect roof performance.

Roof Edges & Parapets – We assess accessible roof edges, parapets, perimeter details, and related components for visible deterioration.

Skylights & Roof Openings – Where applicable, we inspect skylights and other roof openings for visible signs of deterioration or potential water-entry points.

Signs of Water Intrusion – We look for visible evidence of leaks and moisture-related problems and assess potential sources where accessible.

WHEN SHOULD YOU GET A COMMERCIAL ROOF INSPECTION?

Understand the Condition of Your Commercial Roof

Regular commercial roof inspections can help property owners and managers identify developing problems and plan roofing work before unexpected issues affect the building.

Consider arranging a professional inspection if:

Your Roof Is Aging – Older roofing systems may require more frequent assessment and maintenance planning.

You Have Recurring Leaks – Repeated water intrusion may indicate an underlying problem that requires further investigation.

You Are Planning Repairs – An inspection can help identify related conditions before repair work begins.

You Are Considering Roof Replacement – Understanding the existing roof condition can help with replacement planning and budgeting.

Your Property Has Experienced Severe Weather – Wind, heavy rain, snow, and other weather conditions can damage roofing systems.

You Notice Ponding Water – Standing water on a low-slope roof may indicate drainage or roof-slope concerns.

You Are Planning Preventative Maintenance – Regular inspections can help identify developing problems before they become more extensive.

You Are Purchasing or Managing a Property – A roof inspection can provide useful information about the existing roofing system and potential future requirements.
