Standing water on your flat roof? Here's what to do.
Flat roof repair for Aurora, IN businesses — TPO and EPDM specialists at TruRoof.
In Aurora, IN, a flat commercial roof should shed water fast. But after a storm, you see puddles that stay for days. That ponding water puts stress on the membrane. Left alone, it can cause leaks or even structural damage.
Ponding water happens when a flat roof has low spots or clogged drains. Water that sits for more than 48 hours can weaken the membrane. Over time, the sun and standing water break down TPO or EPDM seams. You might not see a leak right away, but the damage starts small.
Fixing ponding water often means clearing drains, adding tapered insulation, or repairing seams. A small repair might take a few hours. If the roof needs a new slope or partial replacement, it could take a day or two. Costs vary based on the size of the roof and the extent of the damage. Most jobs cost less than a full roof replacement.
First, check your drains and gutters for blockages. If water still ponds, call a commercial roofer who knows flat roofs. TruRoof can inspect your Aurora property, find the low spots, and fix the drainage. Doing nothing only makes the problem worse.
Once the drains flow and the membrane is sealed, water slides off your roof. No more standing puddles. No more worry about leaks. Your roof does its job, and you can focus on your business.
What people in Aurora 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."
