FAQ's (FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS)

We offer a wide range of flat roofing services including repair, installation, free roof inspections, roof maintenance, emergency leak repair for industrial and commercial buildings.

Flat roofs are horizontal with very little slope when comparing to a roof on a residential home. Flats are commonly found on commercial & industrial buildings.

The most common causes of roof leaks can be:

1. Old/worn out (time, weathering, mechanical abrasion, foot traffic, air pollution)
2. Mechanically damaged (wind, falling objects such as tree branches and hail)
3. Patched (weak areas from previous repairs)
4. Multiple layers (new membranes added over old membranes)
5. Blisters (air/water trapped between roof sheathing and membrane or in the asphalt)
6. Alligatoring (asphalt brittles due to sun damage)
7. Gravel erosion (wind and water running across a roof)
8. Ridging and fishmouths (installation problems related to asphalt, moisture, structure, expansion or slipping of felts)
9. Membrane movement/splitting (membrane shrinkage through cold weather cycles)
10. Ponding/Vegetation (poor design/no slopes, no drains, blockage of drains or an inadequate number of drains)
11. Debris or storage on the roof (construction activity and material storage)
12. Exposed felts (inadequate top pour of asphalt, felts not laid flat, failure to adhere felt at edge.
