Frequently asked about flat roof repair
What flat roof systems do you repair?
The contractors in our network handle all common residential and light-commercial flat roof systems: TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin), PVC, EPDM (rubber), modified bitumen, built-up roof (BUR), and SPF (spray polyurethane foam). Each system has different repair protocols and material requirements.
Why does my flat roof have standing water?
Ponding water on a flat roof usually means a clogged drain/scupper, a sagged area where the slope failed, or settled insulation underneath. Address ponding promptly — water sitting on the membrane accelerates UV degradation and shortens the roof's life by years. Sometimes the fix is simple (clear the drain); sometimes it's structural (recoat or rebuild the slope).
Can I walk on my flat roof to inspect it?
Generally yes if the membrane is sound and you're wearing soft-soled shoes. Avoid walking during hot weather (membrane is softer and more puncture-prone) or right after rain (slippery). Stay off membrane that visibly bubbles, blisters, or feels soft underfoot. A roofer's annual inspection beats DIY for spotting issues before they leak.
How long does a flat roof typically last?
Depends on system: TPO/PVC 20-30 years, EPDM 25-30 years, modified bitumen 15-25 years, BUR 20-30 years, SPF 30-50 years with proper recoating every 10-12 years. UV exposure, foot traffic, and ponding water all shorten useful life.
