How to Correct Roof Damage Done by Foot Traffic
In most cases, the damage caused by foot traffic is isolated rather than being widespread. But it’s a problem that still needs to be corrected so that it doesn’t cause bigger issues.

Have the Roof Inspected
To know for sure if foot traffic has caused damage, have a professional roofer do a comprehensive inspection of the roofing system. They’ll be able to determine if there are any roofing problems and how they occurred so you can correct any issues.
-
Make the Necessary Repairs
Typically roofing problems from foot traffic don’t require a complete replacement, however, you’ll likely need to repair damage that could eventually compromise the entire roof system. Use the inspection as a guide for making repairs and improvements that can reduce the chance of further damage.

Minimize Foot Traffic in the Future
You need to find a balance between keeping the roof properly maintained and minimizing foot traffic. If you have a flat roof try to minimize who has access so that you can control the foot traffic. Also request that contractors limit their movement on the roof as much as possible.
