Why local roof conditions vary
Open surroundings put roof edges and wind-driven water in focus
Crookston sits along the Red Lake River within an agricultural landscape. Some properties are sheltered by neighboring buildings and trees; others face more open surroundings. The inspection priority is the actual building exposure, especially edges, flashing, and transitions where wind-driven rain may enter.
On downtown and other low-slope commercial roofs, inspect perimeter flashing, parapets, drains, and seams. Snow can drift unevenly around changes in roof height; concerns about structural loading require qualified evaluation, not a visual guess.
