Water that stays on the roof 48 hours or longer is ponding, and clogged drains or leaves and debris make it worse. Hail of about three-quarters of an inch is generally the smallest size that damages property. On TPO roofs, small cracks, splits, and pinholes can be hard to see, and closer inspection of roofs over about six years old may be prudent. A regular preventive maintenance schedule catches these early.

A roofing request is reviewed for the roof, location, and urgency, with a quote for any approved work before it is scheduled. A roof maintenance inspection is typically a thorough visual check of the roof system, adjacent walls, and any mechanical equipment that affects watertightness. Electrical conductance methods can help locate leaks. You review the findings, receive the invoice, and the job is closed out with its records.

The roof system, its size, drain condition, and the extent of damage set the scope. The National Roofing Contractors Association calls maintenance the most important factor after proper installation in a roof’s life and cost. A repair-or-replace decision usually starts with a visual inspection, an infrared moisture survey, and roof cut analysis, then moves into capital planning under facility management.

Large hail falls on average 7 days a year across the National Weather Service Peachtree City area, with April the peak month. Modified bitumen roofs can be damaged by hail, and thicker EPDM membrane resists hail better than thinner membrane in NRCA tests. Roof leaks are a common cause of the moisture problems behind mold remediation jobs.

It depends on the roof system, its size, and the weather. The roofing trade body NRCA recommends inspections at least twice a year, preferably spring and fall, and again after severe weather. Roofs should drain within 48 hours of precipitation, and secondary drains or scuppers are required where a clogged primary drain would trap water, a point where commercial plumbing meets the roof.
