Old flat roof keeps leaking after multiple repairs?
Stop wasting money on patches. TruRoof gives straight answers for commercial roofs in Batavia, OH.
Your commercial building in Batavia has an old flat roof. It's been patched more times than you can count, but water still drips onto your inventory after a heavy Ohio rain. You're tired of throwing money at temporary fixes and watching the ceiling tiles stain again.
When a flat commercial roof hits 25 or 30 years old, the membrane breaks down. Small cracks and seams open up. Water sneaks through, even after a patch. The real problem is often deeper: wet insulation underneath. Once the insulation gets soaked, it can't dry out. New patches just trap the moisture, so leaks pop up somewhere else. In Batavia, with freeze-thaw winters and heavy spring rains, this cycle gets worse every season.
The fix isn't another patch. You need a core sample to check the insulation. If it's dry, a silicone restoration coating might buy you 10 to 15 more years at a lower cost. But if the insulation is wet, a full tear-off and replacement is the only way to stop the leaks. A commercial roof replacement in Batavia can range widely depending on size, access, and materials. Most jobs take one to three weeks. It's a bigger investment, but it ends the cycle of wasted repair bills.
This week, schedule a roof inspection that includes a core sample. That's the only way to know if your insulation is wet. Don't let another contractor slap on a patch without checking underneath. TruRoof offers free commercial roof assessments in Batavia and will show you exactly what's going on before you spend another dime. Call today and ask for a core sample.
After the right fix, your building is dry for good. Inventory stays safe. Employees aren't dodging buckets. You stop getting calls about ceiling tiles falling. The roof handles whatever Ohio weather throws at it, and you can focus on your business again.
What people in Batavia 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."
Other things people in Batavia ask
can you reroof over an existing flat roof
A recover works when there is one roof layer and dry insulation. A core sample tells us in an hour.
how much does a commercial roof cost
We price by square footage, system and insulation and give you a written proposal you can put in front of the board.
TPO vs EPDM flat roof
TPO is white and reflects heat, which helps cooling costs in summer. EPDM is black rubber and handles ponding water well. For most Cincinnati commercial buildings, TPO is the default choice. Get a roof assessment to match the membrane to your roof's slope and drainage.
roof coating vs replacement flat roof
Coatings work when the roof is still structurally sound and the membrane is intact. If there are multiple leaks, ponding, or wet insulation underneath, a coating won't fix it. Get a moisture scan and a core sample before deciding.
