Flat roof keeps leaking after multiple repairs?
Commercial roofing answers for Burlington, KY. When patches stop working, it's time for a real fix.
Your Burlington warehouse or office has a 30-year-old flat roof. You have patched it three times in two years. Water still finds a way in. Now you worry about ceiling tiles falling or inventory getting ruined every time it rains hard, like during those summer storms that roll through Boone County off I-71.
When a flat roof leaks after multiple repairs, the problem is not the patch. The membrane itself is failing. Tiny splits you cannot see let water spread under the surface. On older buildings near Burlington Commons or Gunpowder Creek, trapped moisture rots the insulation board underneath. That wet insulation feeds the cycle. It holds water, expands, and cracks every new patch you apply.
Cost depends on what a core sample shows. We cut a small plug from your roof and test the insulation. Dry insulation means a silicone restoration coating may work. That runs less than a full tear-off. Wet insulation means the whole system has failed. A full replacement costs more and takes longer. Most commercial roofs in Boone County last 20 to 30 years. If yours is past that, expect a replacement budget, not another patch job.
Stop paying for patches today. Call for a core sample inspection. If wet insulation is found, a full replacement is the only reliable answer. Ask for TruRoof to walk your roof in Burlington. We show you the sample results and explain your options in plain terms. No high-pressure sales, just an honest look at what you stand on.
Once handled, your building stays dry. Inventory is safe. Ceiling tiles stay firm. The bucket in the corner goes away. You stop dreading every weather alert on your phone. A commercial roof that works means you can focus on your business, not the next leak.
What people in Burlington 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 Burlington 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.
