Old flat roof keeps leaking after multiple repairs?
Straight talk from TruRoof, commercial roofing for Edgewood, KY.
Your Edgewood building has a 30-year-old flat roof. You have patched it three times in two years. Water still finds a way in, threatening your inventory or equipment. You are done with temporary fixes that never last.
When a flat roof keeps leaking after multiple repairs, the membrane is likely worn out. The waterproof layer gets brittle with age. Small cracks let water in, and patches only cover the surface. Water often travels under the patch and finds a new entry point. If the insulation underneath is wet, no patch will stop the leaks.
A full tear-off and replacement for a commercial flat roof in Edgewood can range from $6 to $12 per square foot. A silicone restoration coating, done over a dry roof, may cost half as much. If the insulation is soaked, that adds to the scope and price. Most jobs finish in one to two weeks, depending on weather and roof size.
This week, call TruRoof for a free inspection. We will take a core sample, a small cut to check the insulation. If it is wet, we will explain your options clearly. A full replacement or a silicone coating will fix the problem. Stop paying for patches that fail.
Once the job is done, you will not flinch when rain hits. Your stock stays dry. Your repair bills stop. You can get back to running your business, without watching the ceiling for drips.
What people in Edgewood 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 Edgewood 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.
