Flat roof leaking after multiple repairs? You're not alone.
Learn why quick patches can't fix an old commercial roof, and what Loveland business owners should do instead. TruRoof is here to help.
After another Loveland winter, your commercial flat roof is leaking again—despite three repair jobs in two years. Water finds its way in, threatening inventory and equipment. You're frustrated and need a real fix.
You’ve patched your flat roof several times. The real issue is the old membrane. Most commercial roofs in Loveland last about 25 years. After three decades, the surface breaks down into tiny cracks. Water seeps into the insulation below. You can’t see it from above. A patch only seals the top, so water keeps spreading under the surface. Repeated freezing and thawing makes the cracks bigger. That’s why leaks return.
A commercial roof fix isn’t one-size-fits-all. A silicone restoration coating might cost $4 to $6 per square foot, but that only works if the insulation is still dry. A full replacement runs $7 to $12 per square foot, depending on size and how much wet insulation must be removed. A core sample will reveal the truth. If the insulation is soaked, patching or coating is a waste. For a Loveland office on State Route 48, a full replacement may take three to five days.
This week, stop patching. Call TruRoof and ask for a core sample inspection. We’ll take a small piece of your roof to check the insulation. If it’s dry, a silicone coating can seal the surface and save you money. If it’s wet, you need a full tear-off. Either way, you’ll have a clear plan. No more guesswork. No more emergency calls every time it rains.
Picture a dry, quiet building. No buckets in the hallway. No stained ceiling tiles. Your inventory stays safe. Your staff isn’t distracted. You have a warranty that outlasts your current roof. When the next big storm rolls over I-275, you won’t even think about your roof.
What people in Loveland 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 Loveland 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.
