Flat roof repair
Flat roof repair finds the leak in a low-slope membrane — usually at seams, drains, parapets or rooftop equipment — and patches or replaces the failed section with compatible material. Fixing ponding and drainage stops repeat leaks.
- Typical time
- Often one day.
- Repair or replace
- Repair isolated failures; replace with widespread wet insulation.
Flat roofs are common on commercial buildings, porches and additions throughout Beaumont and Port Arthur. Water that sits after rain works into seams and flashings.
Repair uses material that matches the roof — TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen or built-up — since mixing incompatible products fails fast.
