Standing water on your flat roof?
What to do when water won't drain, from a Blue Ash, OH TPO and EPDM flat roofing contractor.
You check your Blue Ash commercial roof after a storm. Water is still ponding in the same low spots. Days later, it hasn't drained. That standing water is a problem. It can weaken the membrane, cause leaks, and lead to costly repairs. You need it fixed now.
Flat roofs are not perfectly flat. They have a slight slope to drain water. When drains clog or the roof settles, low spots form. Water collects there. That's ponding water. On a TPO or EPDM roof, it can degrade the membrane over time. Dirt and debris make it worse. The water adds weight and stress. Left alone, it will find a way inside.
Fixing ponding water depends on the cause. A clogged drain is a simple cleanout. That might cost a few hundred dollars. Low spots may need a tapered insulation overlay or new membrane. That could run a few thousand, depending on the area. A full roof replacement is the biggest job. The only way to know is an inspection. A good roofer will show you the options.
This week, call TruRoof for a roof inspection. We'll check your drains, seams, and membrane. We find the cause of your ponding water. Then we give you a clear plan, not a sales pitch. Delaying can turn a small fix into a big leak. Let us get that water off your roof before it causes damage.
Once the fix is done, your roof drains fast. No more ponding water. The membrane stays strong. Your warehouse stays dry. You can focus on your business, not your roof.
What people in Blue Ash 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."
