Standing water on your flat roof? Don't ignore it.
Honest advice from TruRoof, TPO and EPDM flat roofing in Greendale, IN.
Your commercial flat roof in Greendale holds water for days after a storm. You worry it will leak or damage the membrane. That is a common problem with flat roofs around here, and it needs attention fast.
Ponding water is water that stays on a flat roof for more than 48 hours after rain. It happens when drains clog, the roof deck sags, or the membrane was installed with low spots. Greendale gets heavy downpours, especially in spring and summer. That standing water puts constant pressure on seams and flashings. Over time, it can break down TPO or EPDM material and cause leaks.
Fixing ponding water usually starts with a roof inspection. The scope depends on what is causing it. If it is just clogged drains or debris, a cleanup might cost a few hundred dollars. If the membrane has settled into dips, you may need roof patching or a tapered insulation system. A full replacement for a commercial roof in Greendale can run from $5 to $10 per square foot, depending on materials and roof condition.
Call TruRoof for a flat roof inspection if you see water pooling. Do not try to push the water off with a broom or ladder. That can damage the membrane. Our team will check your drains, find low spots, and seal any weak areas. We work with TPO and EPDM systems and know the weather challenges roofs face here.

What people in Greendale 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."
