Standing water on your flat commercial roof? Here's what to do about it. Don't wait.
Straight talk about ponding water from a Union, KY roofer who works on TPO and EPDM flat roofs.
You run a warehouse or store in Union. After every rain, water sits on your roof for days. You worry about leaks and a sagging ceiling. That standing water is a sign your drains or low spots need fixing.
Water that stays on a flat roof more than 48 hours after rain is a problem. It's called ponding water. It happens when drains clog with leaves or debris. Or when the roof settles and creates low spots. TPO and EPDM membranes are tough but standing water can slowly break them down. It can also add weight the roof was not built to hold.
Fixing it depends on what you find. A simple drain cleaning might cost a few hundred dollars. Adding new drains or building up low spots with tapered insulation can run several thousand. If the membrane is damaged, you may need seam repairs or a partial replacement. A roofer will check the whole roof and give you a clear price before work starts.
Call TruRoof this week for a roof inspection. We will check every drain, seam, and low spot. We will tell you exactly what needs to happen and what it will cost. Do not wait until a small puddle turns into a big leak. The longer water sits, the more damage it does.
Once the drains work and the low spots are fixed, water will sheet off the roof like it should. Your roof will last longer and you will stop worrying every time it rains. A dry roof means a sound building.
