Post-Rain and Wind Roof Repair: What Los Angeles County Property Managers Need to Know
When heavy rain and gusty winds hit Los Angeles County and surrounding, even the most well-maintained commercial roofs can take a beating. From lifted membranes to clogged drains, storm damage isn’t always obvious—but addressing it quickly can save property managers and building owners from costly repairs down the line.
At Stone Roofing Company, Inc., our team has been helping Southern California businesses protect their investments for more than 90 years. Here’s what to look for after recent storms and when to call in a commercial roofing professional.
1. Inspect for Visible Roof Damage
After rain or high winds, take a walk around your property (if it’s safe to do so). Look for:
Missing or lifted roof materials – High winds can loosen flashing, tear single-ply membranes, or dislodge shingles and tiles.
Pooling water – Standing water that doesn’t drain within 48 hours could signal clogged drains or low spots in your roof system.
Debris buildup – Branches, leaves, or objects carried by the wind can block drainage systems and cause water to back up.
Damaged rooftop equipment – HVAC units, vents, and skylights can shift or crack during storms, creating potential leak points.
Even small signs of damage can escalate quickly once moisture gets beneath the surface.
2. Check for Water Intrusion
Water stains on ceilings, damp insulation, or interior leaks are all signs that your commercial roofing system may have been compromised. The source of a roof leak isn’t always directly above where you see water—it can travel through insulation or along structural elements before showing up inside. That’s why it’s important to have a qualified commercial roofer inspect your system to identify the root cause.
3. Review Your Roof Maintenance and Warranty Coverage
Many commercial roof warranties require prompt roof inspections following severe weather. Documenting the condition of your roof and addressing repairs quickly not only prevents further damage but helps maintain your warranty coverage. Stone Roofing Company provides detailed inspection reports, photo documentation, and repair recommendations to keep your roofing system compliant and watertight.
4. Schedule a Professional Commercial Roof Inspection & Assessment
After a major rain or wind event, it’s best to schedule a professional roof inspection—especially if it’s been more than six months since your last one. Our expert technicians are trained to identify hidden damage, test for moisture infiltration, and recommend cost-effective solutions for repair or restoration.
