Common Flat Roof Problems We Repair

💧

Flat Roof Leaks

Active leaks or water infiltration through membrane seams, penetrations, or damaged areas. We locate leak sources using advanced detection methods and implement waterproof repairs preventing further water damage to your building interior, inventory, or equipment.

🌊

Ponding Water Issues

Standing water remaining on flat roofs 48+ hours after rainfall accelerates membrane deterioration. We assess drainage problems, improve roof slope when possible, and repair or modify drain systems ensuring proper water evacuation.

🔨

Membrane Damage

Punctures, tears, splits, or deterioration in TPO, EPDM, PVC, or other single-ply membranes. Common causes include foot traffic, HVAC maintenance, storm debris, and UV exposure. We patch or replace damaged membrane sections restoring waterproof protection.

🔗

Failed Seams

Separated or deteriorated seams in membrane roofing allowing water penetration. Heat-welded seams can fail over time, and adhesive-bonded seams may separate. We re-seal or re-weld seams using proper techniques for permanent repair.

🏗️

Flashing Failures

Damaged or improperly installed flashing around roof edges, penetrations, curbs, HVAC units, and transitions. Flashing failures are a leading cause of flat roof leaks. We repair or replace flashing ensuring watertight transitions.

🫧

Blistering & Bubbling

Raised bubbles or blisters in built-up roofing or single-ply membranes caused by trapped moisture or air. If left unrepaired, blisters can rupture and leak. We cut out, dry, and patch affected areas preventing further damage.

Flat Roof Repair Questions

How long does a flat roof repair typically last?
A professional flat roof repair typically lasts 5-10 years when properly installed and maintained. EPDM patches can last 10-15 years, TPO repairs 8-12 years, and modified bitumen repairs 5-8 years. Regular maintenance and inspections extend repair longevity significantly.
How much does flat roof repair cost?
Flat roof repair costs vary significantly based on damage extent, roofing system type, and accessibility. Minor repairs (small leaks, limited seam issues) typically cost $500-$2,000. Moderate repairs (multiple problem areas, significant seam work) range from $2,000-$5,000. Extensive repairs may cost $5,000-$15,000. We provide free detailed estimates after inspection.
Should I repair or replace my flat roof?
Repair makes sense when: roof is under 15 years old, damage is localized, most of the roof is sound, and repair costs are under 30% of replacement cost. Replacement is better when: roof is 20+ years old, widespread damage exists, multiple leak sources, or repair costs approach 50% of replacement. We provide honest recommendations after inspection.
How long do flat roof repairs last?
Properly executed flat roof repairs can last 5-15+ years depending on repair type, materials used, and roof maintenance. Small patch repairs may last 5-10 years. Major section replacements or recoating can last 10-15+ years. Regular maintenance extends all repair longevity.
Can you repair flat roofs in winter?
Some flat roof repairs can be performed in winter, but temperature limitations exist. TPO and PVC welding requires temperatures above 40°F. EPDM adhesives need temperatures above 45°F. Emergency temporary repairs possible in most conditions. Cold-weather approved materials available for winter repairs when necessary.
What causes flat roof ponding water?
Ponding water results from: inadequate roof slope (less than 1/4 inch per foot), settled roof deck or substrate, improperly positioned drains, clogged drains or scuppers, or structural sagging. Solutions include: improving drainage, adding tapered insulation for slope, repositioning drains, or addressing structural issues.
How do you find flat roof leaks?
We use multiple detection methods: visual inspection of membrane, seams, and penetrations; moisture meters detecting trapped water; infrared thermography showing temperature differences indicating moisture; and water testing when appropriate. Experience helps us identify likely problem areas quickly.
Do you offer emergency flat roof repair?
Yes! We provide same-day emergency response for active flat roof leaks. Call (614) 635-7550 anytime. We'll respond quickly, provide temporary protection preventing further damage, and schedule permanent repairs as soon as conditions allow.
Can damaged flat roofs be patched?
Yes, most flat roof damage can be effectively patched when caught early. TPO and PVC use heat-welded patches. EPDM uses adhesive rubber patches. Built-up roofing requires cutting out damage and installing new layers. Modified bitumen uses torch-applied patches. Professional patching techniques provide long-lasting waterproof repairs.
