Standing water on your flat roof for days after rain?
Local insight on flat roof ponding from TruRoof, tpo and epdm flat roofing in Anderson Township, OH.
You look up at your commercial building along Beechmont Avenue and see water sitting on the roof. It hasn't drained in three days. Every time it rains, the pond gets bigger, and you worry about leaks damaging your stock or equipment. Anderson Township's wet springs can make this a recurring problem for flat roofs.
Ponding water is standing water that remains on a flat roof for more than 48 hours after rain stops. It's often caused by clogged drains, sagging roof deck, or membrane settling into low spots. On Anderson Township commercial roofs with TPO or EPDM membranes, water that sits for days can slowly work into seams and lead to leaks.
Fixing ponding water might involve clearing debris from drains, adding taperred insulation to redirect water, or repairing seams. Cost depends on roof size and damage extent. A simple drain cleaning could run a few hundred dollars, while adding taper to re-slope a larger roof may cost several thousand. An inspection is the only way to know for your building.
Don't let the water sit or try to patch seams yourself. Ponding water adds weight that stresses the roof deck over time. This week, have a commercial roofer check your drains and scan for low spots. TruRoof can send someone to your Anderson Township property within a day or two, inspect the roof, and give you a clear, honest plan with no pressure.
Once the low spots are leveled and drains run clear, rain will sheet off within hours. The worry leaves your mind because you know the roof can handle Ohio weather. Your TPO or EPDM membrane stays tight and your building stays dry, season after season.
What people in Anderson Township say
"I'm reviewing my two new roofs, on my house and my garage, installed by TruRoof. The company, and Damon Chuke, their representative, helped me work with the insurance company, and with understanding all the details of the whole process. They took out an obsolete chimney, were on time and professional, and the finished roofs and flashing are beautiful. Many compliments from neighbors. Highly recommended by me."
"We have a beautiful condo in a historic building from the 1840s. Late November had a bad leak in the dining room area. I called Britt at TruRoof who came out and inspected the entire roof of the building. He said to do the entire roof could be around $50,000. But then he started laughing and said you need to caulk the area around one of the chimneys. I thought he was nuts, but I did the caulking, which cost me about 25 bucks worth of outdoor caulk, and there are no more leaks. I cannot express my appreciation for his diligence and his honesty. That kind of a company and a person is rare these days. Highly, highly, highly recommend these guys."
"TruRoof did an outstanding job from start to finish. Communication leading up to the start date was great. Once on site and the project started, everything went as discussed, and the crew was very professional."
