Commercial Roof Still Leaks After Multiple Repairs?
Commercial roofing help in Independence, KY — when patches stop working.
Your Independence commercial property has a flat roof that keeps leaking despite three repair attempts in two years. Rainwater still gets through, putting your inventory and equipment at risk. You're done with band-aid fixes and want a permanent stop.
In Kenton County, commercial flat roofs face harsh conditions. Freeze-thaw cycles, strong sun, and heavy rains wear down the roofing membrane year after year. After 20 to 30 years, that membrane becomes brittle and cracks. Water gets under the surface and travels, finding weak spots far from any patch. Patches only close the obvious holes. They can't fix a failing membrane that is breaking down everywhere. That's why your roof still leaks after multiple repairs.
A core sample is the next step. It's a small test that shows if the insulation underneath is wet or dry. If it's dry, a silicone restoration coating can seal the entire roof at a lower cost than a full replacement. If the insulation is wet, you need a tear-off and new roof. In Independence, a full commercial replacement usually takes one to two weeks depending on size and number of layers to remove. The cost varies but you'll stop paying for constant leaks.
This week, schedule a core sample. Call TruRoof to send a crew to your Independence property. We'll drill one small hole and check the insulation. In minutes you'll know whether you need a restoration or a full replacement. Don't wait for the next storm to cause more water damage. Stop patching and fix the root problem.
Once your building has a reliable roof, you'll have peace of mind. Your inventory stays dry. Your business operations aren't interrupted by emergency calls. You'll save money by not paying for temporary fixes. And you'll never have to watch the weather forecast with dread again.
What people in Independence 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 Independence 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.
