What does the Bellflower climate do to a flat roof?
The Bellflower climate is mild with light marine influence, and most roof wear here comes from age rather than harsh weather, since many buildings still carry roofs installed decades ago.
Short winter storms show where old flashings and parapets have cracked.
How often should a Bellflower commercial roof be inspected?
A Bellflower commercial roof should be inspected at least once a year, and twice a year on buildings with roofs more than 20 years old.
