Home Service Commercial Roof Repair

Commercial Roof Repair

A slow leak on a flat commercial roof rarely stays slow.

Our crews diagnose and repair TPO, EPDM, PVC, and metal commercial roof systems without disrupting the business operating underneath.

A correctly diagnosed repair protects the whole membrane system, not just the leak point.

Signs Your Commercial Roof Needs Repair Now

Ponding Water Past 48 Hours

Standing water that hasn't drained within two days of rainfall accelerates membrane breakdown and often signals a drainage or slope problem beneath the surface.

Seam Separation or Blistering

Lifted seams and surface blisters on TPO or EPDM membranes let moisture travel beneath the roofing system, causing damage far from where it first appears.

Leaks Near Rooftop Equipment

HVAC curbs, vent penetrations, and rooftop unit flashing are the most common failure points on commercial roofs and require inspection whenever a new leak appears.

Our Commercial Roof Diagnostic Process

Finding the Source, Not Just the Symptom

✔ Full membrane and flashing inspection to trace leaks back to their actual entry point
✔ Written scope of repair with membrane type and material cost itemized before work starts
✔ Manufacturer-specific repair methods, including hot-air welding for TPO seams

A leak that appears over one section of a commercial building often originates from a completely different point on the roof, carried there by the membrane’s slope. We trace the water path during inspection before recommending a repair scope.

What a Property Manager Should Ask Before Hiring a Repair Contractor

Membrane-Specific Experience Matters

✔ Locally based in Houston since 2017, working directly with property managers and building owners
✔ RCAT Member #208834, fully licensed, bonded, and insured for commercial work
✔ 5-year workmanship warranty on repair work, separate from any existing manufacturer material warranty

Not every roofing contractor is trained to weld TPO seams correctly or knows the difference in repair approach between EPDM and modified bitumen systems. Ask any commercial roofer which specific membrane systems they’re trained on before authorizing repair work on your property.
