Ponding water on your flat roof after every rain?
Ponding water on your commercial roof? TPO and EPDM flat roofing repair in Florence, KY.
You check your warehouse roof after a storm and see puddles sitting there. Days later, they're still there. In Florence, flat commercial roofs along I-75 or near the Florence Mall take a beating from Kentucky rains. That standing water soaks into seams and weakens the membrane over time. Left alone, it leads to leaks and costly damage.
Ponding water means water that stays on a flat roof for more than 48 hours after rain. It happens when drains clog, the roof sags, or the slope isn't right. On TPO or EPDM membranes, standing water can break down the material faster. It seeps into seams and causes blisters or cracks. Florence gets about 43 inches of rain a year, so ponding water shows up often on flat commercial roofs here. If you see puddles that won't go away, the roof's drainage has failed.
Fixing ponding water usually starts with a roof inspection. A roofer checks drains, scans for low spots, and tests seams. Small fixes like cleaning drains or patching a seam might cost a few hundred dollars. Bigger jobs like adding tapered insulation or replacing a large section of membrane can run into the thousands. The exact cost depends on roof size, membrane type (TPO or EPDM), and how much water damage is already there. A roof's age also matters. An older membrane may need more work.

What people in Florence 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."
