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.
