Flat Roof Repairs
Flat roofs are common architecture choice for both houses and commercial buildings.
A flat roof can more accurately be described as a “low-slope” roof because these roofs are not perfectly flat and have a slight slope to allow drainage of rainwater. Cost-efficiency of flat roofs is one of the reasons buildings opt for this type of roof; the spaces below and above the roof can be fully utilized as living or recreational spaces. Roof gardens, installation of solar panels, and collection of rainwater for water conservation are better enables with a flat roof.
Our flat roof specialists want to help you with your flat roof installation or flat roof repair. We will tailor your flat roof refurbishment to the specifications of your building and your flat roof, taking into account factors such as which kind of felt paper was applied over the roof. Felt roof repairs usually require addressing the tar, asphalt, and/or gravel that covers the felt itself, especially if you are looking to address flat roof leaks.

- Lack of proper drainage or drain maintenance
- Improper sealing around all rooftop penetrations
- Puddles on your roof, which can freeze during colder seasons and break the roof when the ice expands. Termed “ponding” water, these collections of water should be removed within 48 hours of when they first started to collect.

- Check for sagging in underlying roof decking, which can be hard to spot.
