Standing water on your flat roof that won't go away?
Flat roof ponding help for Erlanger, KY businesses — TPO and EPDM repair and drainage fixes from TruRoof.
You walk the roof after a storm and see big puddles sitting there. Days later, they're still there. In Erlanger, our heavy spring rains and summer thunderstorms hit hard, and a flat commercial roof with poor drainage can hold water long after the clouds clear. That standing water is a warning sign you can't ignore.
Ponding water is water that stays on your roof for 48 hours or more after rain stops. It happens when drains clog, flashing settles, or the roof deck sags over time. On TPO and EPDM membranes, constant standing water can break down the seams and let moisture push through. Even a small low spot near a rooftop unit off US Route 641 can create a problem that spreads fast.
Fixing ponding water usually starts with a roof inspection. A small repair, like clearing a drain or resealing a seam, might run a few hundred dollars. If the roof needs tapered insulation added to fix low spots, the cost goes up. A full membrane replacement over a large warehouse roof near I-275 is a bigger job. The scope depends on how much water sits where and how old the roof is. Most flat roof fixes take one to three days once the plan is set.
Get on the roof safely and take photos of the standing water. Check all drains and gutters for leaves or debris. Do not try to patch the membrane yourself. Wrong sealants can trap moisture and make things worse. Call TruRoof for a flat roof inspection in Erlanger. We look at the drains, scan for low spots, and check every seam. We fix the drainage and the membrane so the water actually leaves your roof.
After the work is done, water drains off like it should. The roof stays dry after every rain. No more standing puddles eating at the seams. You stop worrying about a sudden leak into your stock room or office space. The roof works quietly, and you get back to running your business.
What people in Erlanger 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."
