Roof repair service
Flat & Low-Slope Roof Repair
Repair leaks, blisters, seams, and ponding on flat and low-slope roofs covered with EPDM, TPO, modified bitumen, or built-up roofing.
When to Request Flat & Low-Slope Roof Repair
Flat and low-slope roofs shed water slowly, so seams, penetrations, and drainage matter more than on a steep roof. Leaks tend to come from open or shrunken seams, failed pitch pans around pipes, blistering in the membrane, or standing water (ponding) that sits long after rain. Repairs are membrane-specific, so identifying the system is the first step.
- Standing water (ponding) that lingers for days
- Bubbles, blisters, or splits in the membrane
- Open or lifting seams between membrane sheets
- Leaks near drains, scuppers, HVAC curbs, or pipe penetrations
Flat & Low-Slope Roof Repair FAQ
What kind of flat roof do I have?
Common residential and small-commercial systems are EPDM (black rubber), TPO (white membrane), modified bitumen (torch-down rolls), and older built-up gravel roofs. The repair material has to match the system, so a pro will confirm it on site.
Is ponding water a problem?
Persistent ponding accelerates membrane breakdown and is often a sign of a drainage or slope issue. It is worth addressing before it causes a leak, not just patching around it.
