Standing water on your flat commercial roof after every rain?
TPO and EPDM flat roofing help for ponding water problems on commercial roofs in Hyde Park, OH.
Your flat roof near Hyde Park Square holds water for days after a storm. You can see the low spots from the rooftop access door, and you worry the ponding will cause a leak or damage the membrane. That is a real problem, but it can be fixed. A commercial roofer can check the drains in Hyde Park and seal the membrane.
Standing water on a flat roof is water that remains for two days or more after rain. It means the roof is not draining the way it should. On commercial roofs in Hyde Park and Oakley, flat roofs settle over time and form low spots. Water collects in those low spots and adds weight. That weight stresses TPO and EPDM seams. Left alone, ponding water can find small cuts and turn them into leaks.
The fix depends on what is causing the ponding. A blocked drain or small low spot may take a few hours to correct. A roofer can reseal a pulled seam with TPO or EPDM compatible material. For larger low areas, adding a tapered layer directs water to drains. Most repairs on Hyde Park commercial roofs cost from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. Roof size and the number of low spots drive the cost. A full roof replacement is rarely needed just for ponding.
Do not ignore the standing water, even if the roof is not leaking yet. This week, take photos of the ponding after the next rain. Note the size and how long the water stays. Then call a commercial roofer who knows TPO and EPDM flat roofing in Hyde Park. TruRoof can inspect the drains, check the membrane seams, and give you a clear fix list. A small repair now is cheaper than a leak inside your building later.
After the repair, water moves off the roof the way it should. Drains stay clear, and the membrane holds tight at the seams. You can stop watching the weather forecast with worry. The roof is dry, and the problem is handled. That is the goal for every flat roof in Hyde Park.
What people in Hyde Park 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."
