Old flat roof keeps leaking after multiple repairs? That’s a sign it’s done. Stop patching it.
Commercial roofing help for businesses in Fairfield, OH who are tired of chasing leaks.
You run a business near Symmes Corner or off SR-4 and every heavy rain brings the same dread. Your flat roof is around 30 years old. You have patched it three times in two years. Water still finds a way in, threatening inventory and daily work. This is a common story in Fairfield, and the real fix isn’t another patch.
When a flat roof leaks after several repairs, the membrane is likely worn out. Small cracks and seams break down over time. Each patch just moves the water to the next weak spot. In older commercial buildings around Fairfield, like warehouses near I-275, a 30-year-old roof has simply reached the end of its life. The insulation underneath may be soaked, which keeps the problem hidden until ceiling stains appear.
A full replacement is not a small job, but the price depends on the size and condition of your roof. A silicone restoration coating costs less and can buy you 10 to 15 more years if the insulation is still dry. A complete tear-off and new membrane costs more and takes longer, but fixes the root issue. A core sample tells you which path you need. Without it, you are guessing.
This week, get a core sample taken from the worst area. It checks if the insulation is wet. If it is dry, a coating might work. If it is wet, you need a replacement. Do not let another roofer sell you a patch without checking underneath. TruRoof can do the core sample and give you a clear, honest read on your options.
After the work is done, the leaks stop. Your inventory stays dry. You stop worrying every time you see rain in the forecast. Your daily operations feel normal again.
What people in Fairfield 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 Fairfield 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.
