Our Commercial Roof
Repair Services
We provide comprehensive commercial roof repair solutions designed to address every type of damage and deterioration issue. Our systematic approach ensures thorough problem resolution while extending your roof's service life.
Emergency Storm Damage Repair
Severe weather can cause immediate threats to your building's integrity through membrane punctures, flashing displacement, or structural compromise. Our emergency response team mobilizes within hours to assess damage and implement temporary protective measures.
We coordinate with insurance adjusters to document all damage thoroughly and ensure proper claim processing. Emergency repairs include temporary waterproofing, debris removal, and immediate structural stabilization to prevent further property damage.
Membrane Patching and Replacement
Small punctures and tears in TPO, EPDM, or PVC membranes can quickly escalate into major leak sources without proper attention. We use heat-welding techniques and compatible patch materials to create seamless, permanent repairs that match your existing membrane's performance characteristics.
Our membrane specialists assess surrounding areas for potential weak points and address them proactively during the repair process. All membrane repairs include thorough cleaning and preparation to ensure maximum adhesion and longevity.
Flashing and Seam Repair
Failed flashing around penetrations, edges, and transitions represents the leading cause of commercial roof leaks nationwide. We remove deteriorated flashing materials and install new components using proper overlap techniques and high-grade sealants designed for commercial applications.
Our seam repair process includes complete removal of old adhesives, surface preparation, and installation of new seam tape with proper compression and curing time. We inspect all related penetrations and transitions to ensure comprehensive water protection throughout the repair area.
Drainage System Restoration
Blocked or damaged drainage systems cause ponding water that accelerates membrane deterioration and structural stress on your roof deck. We clear all debris from drains, gutters, and downspouts while inspecting for proper slope and flow patterns across the entire roof surface.
Our drainage repairs include reinforcement of drain assemblies, installation of additional overflow drains where needed, and correction of improper grading that contributes to water accumulation. Proper drainage restoration often eliminates recurring leak problems and extends membrane life significantly.
