Standing water on your flat roof after rain?
A Taylor Mill roofer explains what ponding water means for your TPO or EPDM flat roof.
After a storm, you walk your Taylor Mill commercial roof and see water ponding in low spots. It stays for days. You know standing water can weaken the roof membrane and lead to leaks. You need it fixed before it gets worse.
Ponding water is water that stays on a flat roof for more than 48 hours after rain stops. It often happens because the roof deck has settled or the drains are slow. On TPO and EPDM roofs, standing water can break down the membrane over time. It can also add weight that stresses the roof structure. If you see puddles that don't dry up, it's a sign the roof needs attention.
Fixing ponding water usually involves checking drains, adding roof crickets to direct water flow, or repairing low spots in the roof. The cost depends on how much area is affected and what's causing the problem. A simple drain cleaning might be a few hundred dollars. Adding tapered insulation to fix a sag can run into the thousands. A full roof replacement is more, but sometimes it's the only way to stop ponding for good.
The next step is to have a commercial roofer look at the roof. They can find out why water is ponding and give you a plan. Do not ignore the problem. Ponding water can cause leaks that ruin ceilings, walls, and stock. TruRoof offers a free roof inspection in Taylor Mill.

What people in Taylor Mill 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."
