Ponding water on your flat commercial roof?
TPO and EPDM flat roofing fixes for ponding water in Bridgetown, OH.
After a hard rain, water sits on your flat roof for days. From the lot off I-74 in Bridgetown, you can see it glinting in the sun. You worry that puddle will find a seam and drip into your stockroom. No leaks yet, but the water is not leaving. You want it fixed before the next big storm.
That puddle is called ponding water. It means water is not draining off your roof fast enough. Flat roofs rarely have much slope, so low spots form over time. On a TPO or EPDM membrane, water can sit over seams or old patches. The sun and rain wear those spots faster. Left alone, ponding water can push through small cracks and start a leak.
Fixing ponding water depends on what you find. In some cases, a roofer can clear a clogged drain or add a small tapered fill in one day. If several low spots are large, the roof may need new membrane in those areas, which could take a few days. Cost varies by roof size and how many low areas there are. A small spot repair is not a big project; a full roof replacement is.
Call a roofer who fixes flat roofs every week. Do not just push the water off with a broom and wait. That hides the low spot but does not fix it, and water will be back after the next rain. Ask for an inspection that checks drains, slopes, and seams. TruRoof can inspect your Bridgetown roof and tell you exactly what needs to be done before the next storm.
After the roof is fixed, rainwater should drain off within 48 hours. Low spots get built up or drains cleared so puddles do not form. You stop checking the ceiling after every storm. You can get back to running your business without worrying about a drip.
What people in Bridgetown 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."
