Most serious moisture problems start at the building envelope and show up later as tenant complaints, interior damage, or emergency repair costs.
Roof problems often show up first as stains, dripping, bubbling paint, wet insulation, or ceiling tile damage. Common causes include roofing issues like missing or damaged shingles, blocked drains, standing water, cracked membranes, and failed seals around HVAC units, vents, skylights, and other rooftop penetrations.
Managers should schedule regular inspections, especially after storms and during seasonal transitions.
Flat roofs need close attention to drainage and ponding, while sloped roofs demand checks for loose shingles, exposed nails, and flashing deterioration.
