Old flat roof keeps leaking after multiple repairs?
Stop the patch cycle. A real fix for commercial roofs in Cincinnati, OH.
Your building near Over-the-Rhine or off I-71 has a flat roof over 25 years old. You paid for repairs, but water still drips onto inventory or office equipment. Every Cincinnati rain or snow melt brings the same worry.
When a flat roof leaks again and again, the membrane is likely worn out. Small patches cannot fix a roof that has failed across its whole surface. Water gets under the old layers. It soaks into the insulation. You see stains on ceiling tiles, but the real damage is hidden. In Cincinnati, freeze-thaw cycles make cracks worse. Each repair buys a few months, not years.
A real fix usually means a full replacement or a silicone restoration coating. A replacement tears off the old roof down to the deck. Cost depends on size, roof condition, and wet insulation. A simple overlay runs lower. But if core samples show wet insulation, costs go up. Small commercial roofs start in the low five figures. Larger warehouses in Hamilton County run higher. You stop paying for patch crews every season.
Get a core sample first. That tells you if insulation is dry or wet. Dry insulation can take a recoat. Wet insulation means tear-off. Call TruRoof for a free inspection this week. Do not patch again. Do not wait for the next storm. Water inside your building damages more than the roof. Inventory, drywall, and electric systems all cost more to fix than a roof replacement.
Once done, you walk through your space after a heavy Cincinnati rain. No new stains. No buckets in the hallway. No emergency calls. Your inventory stays dry. The building keeps its value. The worry stops.
What people in Cincinnati 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 Cincinnati 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.
