Flat roof still leaking after multiple repairs?
Honest answers from TruRoof, commercial roofing in Cold Spring, KY.
Your commercial building in Cold Spring has a flat roof that is 30 years old. You have patched it three times in two years. Water still finds a way in after every storm, soaking ceiling tiles and threatening inventory.
When a flat roof leaks after many repairs, the membrane is likely worn out. Small patches cannot fix a roof that is failing all over. Water gets trapped between layers. The insulation underneath gets wet and heavy. That hidden damage makes each new patch useless.
Fixing this right takes more than a patch. You may need a full roof replacement or a silicone restoration coating. Costs depend on the roof size, how wet the insulation is, and how easy it is to access. A full replacement on a small office might take a week. A big warehouse takes longer. Stopping the cycle of constant patches saves money in the long run.
Stop calling for patches this week. Instead, get a core sample. A small plug is taken from your roof to check the insulation. If it is wet, you need a bigger fix. TruRoof can take that sample and give you a straight answer. We will not sell you another patch if your roof is done.
Once the old roof is replaced or coated, the leaks stop. Your inventory stays dry. You stop worrying every time it rains. The building is safe again.
What people in Cold Spring 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 Cold Spring 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.
