Quick Guide
Discovering water on your warehouse 
floor or noticing discoloration on 
ceiling panels can be an early 
warning sign of potential roofing 
leaks. Immediate action is crucial, as 
a roof serves as a barrier against the 
elements, preventing water from 
causing damage.
Water damage poses serious risks to 
your building's structural integrity, 
equipment, and inventory, and can 
even increase the risk of slips and 
falls for employees and customers. If 
you notice any signs of leaks in your 
flat, low slope, or metal roof system,

traffic, equipment malfunctions, poor 
maintenance, or the natural aging process 
of the roof. Keep an eye out for signs like 
discoloration, spots, swelling, raised areas, 
or a white, powdery residue on walls or 
brickwork—these may indicate moisture 
intrusion.
Water exposure can alter the appearance of ceilings and walls, and a persistent 
musty smell or unusual humidity can suggest water presence within the 
building. Mold growth, often indicated by a musty odor, thrives in damp 
conditions. The most obvious sign of a leak is standing water or dripping indoors. 
Take time to thoroughly inspect for potential leaks, using a flashlight to examine 
hard-to-see areas. Fortunately, commercial roofing suppliers in Atlanta

Regular roof inspections, ideally annually, are effective in identifying and 
addressing problems before they worsen. Routine maintenance not only helps 
prevent leaks but also extends the lifespan of your roofing system. If you 
discover a leak, consider these steps:
 Identify the Leak's Source
Mark the exact location of the leak on the floor or note it on the ceiling or 
structure where you see the drip. This will help repair teams accurately 
locate the issue on the roof.
 Minimize Damage
Move or cover valuable machinery or materials in the affected area to 
protect them from water damage. If moving items isn't possible, cover them 
with plastic sheeting or a protective cover.
 Investigate Thoroughly
Remember, leaks can be deceptive. Water inside the building doesn’t 
always mean the leak is directly above it. Water can travel long distances 
along roofing materials, through air ducts, or via the building's framework. 
While the issue might seem minor, it’s important to investigate thoroughly 
to ensure there isn’t more extensive damage.
