Standing water on your flat roof that won't drain?
TPO and EPDM flat roofing help for Norwood, OH businesses dealing with ponding water right now.
You walk out back after a Norwood rain and see the same puddle sitting on your flat roof. It has been two days and the water is still there. You worry about a leak starting or the roof membrane breaking down under all that weight.
Ponding water is water that stays on a flat roof for more than 48 hours after rain stops. It happens when drains clog or the roof surface sags in low spots. Over time, that standing water breaks down the roof membrane. It can cause leaks, mold, and even structural damage if left alone.
Fixing it depends on what is causing the water to pond. A simple drain cleaning might take an hour. Fixing low spots under a TPO or EPDM membrane could mean a partial roof repair. A full replacement for an older roof runs higher. Most jobs in Norwood fall between a minor repair and a full resurface. You will know the real number once a roofer looks at the roof.
This week, mark the puddle with chalk or a stick. Take a photo right after the next rain. Then call TruRoof for a roof check. Do not try to push the water off with a broom. That can tear the membrane and make things worse. A quick inspection now stops a small problem from turning into a big leak.
After the fix, rainwater flows to the drains like it should. The roof dries fast. You stop worrying every time the forecast shows storms over Hamilton County. Your building stays dry and your roof lasts longer.
What people in Norwood 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."
