Flat roof keeps leaking after multiple repairs?
A straight answer for Milford, OH business owners. TruRoof commercial roofing tells you what's really going on.
You run a business in Milford. Maybe a shop off Main Street or a warehouse near I-275. Your flat roof is 30 years old. You have paid for three patches in two years. Water still stains ceiling tiles. You worry about inventory damage every time it rains.
When a flat roof leaks after many repairs, the membrane is worn out. Patches cover visible holes. They do not fix the whole surface. Small cracks and worn seams let water in. The insulation underneath is probably wet. Wet insulation sags, holds moisture, and spreads damage under the surface. A patch on top will never stop that.
Cost depends on what you choose. A full tear-off and replacement removes everything down to the deck. That can run higher because of labor and dump fees. A silicone restoration coating goes over the existing roof after repairs. It costs less and may last 15 to 20 years. The right choice depends on how wet the insulation is. A core sample tells you in minutes.
This week, do not call for another patch. Instead, get a core sample. A small cut checks the insulation. If it is soaked, a replacement or restoration is the only move. TruRoof does free roof evaluations for Milford commercial buildings. We show you photos and explain what the core sample means. No pressure, just facts.
Once the work is done, your building stays dry. Ceiling tiles stay white. Your inventory, equipment, and floors are safe. You stop worrying every time dark clouds roll over the Little Miami River. No more emergency calls. No more bucket brigades. Just a sound roof over your business.
What people in Milford 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 Milford 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.
