Flat roofs: insurance, maintenance, and what buyers should ask

Flat roofs need regular inspection and prompt repair of blisters and ponding. Insurers ask about age, material, and inspection history. Buyers should request invoices and photos, not only verbal reassurance.

Maintenance rhythm

Clear outlets, check flashings after storms, and photograph condition annually. Log work as Events with receipts as Documents.

At purchase

Ask the seller for age, overlay history, and any leak claims. Your surveyor expands on condition.
