Here are some steps you can take to reduce water damage on commercial roofing systems from the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety:

Inspect and clean the roof drainage system

Remove debris, inspect the roof drains and repair cracks, and re-check the drainage systems.

Re-check drainage systems

Do this at least twice a year, ideally during spring and fall. This includes all gutters, interior drains, and scuppers.

Check for water

Check for long-term standing water in gutters and correct any blockages. If there are no blockages, but standing water still occurs, ensure the gutter is properly sloped to the downspout.

Check the slope of the roof cover system

For low-sloped roofs, ensure the slope of the roof cover system and the insulation boards divert water to internal drains when present or to the edge of the roof. Long-term standing water is an indication of an improper slope.

Check air conditioner drains

Check downspouts

Ensure downspouts funnel water away from the building and do not allow water to accumulate near the building’s perimeter.

Up-size gutters

When replacing gutters, consider larger-sized gutters which allow for greater flow.
