Why does my commercial flat roof keep leaking after repairs?
Straight answers from TruRoof, commercial roofing in Delhi Hills, OH.
You own a building in Delhi Hills with an old flat roof. It has been patched three times in two years, but water still finds a way in. You are tired of temporary fixes and worried about damage to your inventory.
If your flat roof keeps leaking after multiple repairs, the membrane is likely failing. Small patches cannot fix widespread wear. Water has probably soaked into the insulation underneath. Once the insulation is wet, it holds moisture and feeds leaks even after you patch the surface. The only way to know for sure is to take a core sample and check the insulation.
A commercial roof replacement in Delhi Hills usually takes a few days to a week. The cost depends on the square footage, the condition of the insulation, and how easy it is to access the roof. If the insulation is dry and the membrane is just old, a silicone restoration coating may be a lower-cost option that adds 10 to 20 years of life. If the insulation is wet, a full tear-off and replacement is the only way to stop the leaks for good.
Stop paying for patches. The next step is to have a professional take a core sample. TruRoof can inspect your Delhi Hills commercial roof, take a core sample, and give you an honest assessment at no pressure. If the insulation is wet, we will walk you through your options, including a full replacement or a silicone coating if conditions allow. Do not wait for the next storm, water damage only gets worse.
Once your new roof or coating is in place, you will not worry about every rainstorm. Your inventory stays dry, your building is protected, and you stop wasting money on temporary fixes. A solid roof gives you peace of mind and lets you focus on running your business.
What people in Delhi Hills 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 Delhi Hills 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.
