Standing water on your flat commercial roof after rain?
If your commercial roof in Mount Washington, OH has ponding water, TPO and EPDM flat roofing can fix the drainage.
A flat roof in Mount Washington should shed water after a storm. Yours has standing water that stays for days, especially near the drains or low spots. You worry it will turn into a leak or weaken the membrane. This is common on TPO and EPDM roofs when a drain is clogged or the roof deck has settled.
After a heavy rain in Mount Washington, you see water sitting on your flat commercial roof. It stays for two or three days. That is ponding water. It happens when the roof does not slope enough to the drain or scupper. Leaves and debris can block the drain. Low spots form over time as the roof deck settles or insulation compresses. On TPO and EPDM roofs, ponding water can break down the membrane and the seams. This is a real problem.
The fix depends on what you find. A clogged drain may just need cleaning. A low spot may need a patch of new membrane or tapered insulation to direct water off the roof. Seam repairs on TPO and EPDM cost less than a full replacement. The size of the roof, the number of low spots, and the condition of the membrane all change the price. A roofer can tell you the exact scope after looking at the roof.
Do not wait for the next storm. Call a commercial roofer who works on TPO and EPDM flat roofs in Mount Washington. TruRoof can check the drains, mark the low spots, and seal the membrane before water gets through. Take photos of the ponding water this week. That gives the roofer a record of where water sits. If you can safely reach the roof, clear any leaves from the drain. Do not try to patch the roof yourself.
After the roof drains the way it should, rain runs off within a day. The membrane stays dry. You stop watching the weather and checking for leaks. The roof lasts longer because water is not sitting on the seams. You can focus on your business in Mount Washington instead of your roof.
What people in Mount Washington 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."
