Fayetteville Flat Roof Repair
Flat roof repair in Fayetteville applies to more buildings than people expect: porch and carport roofs, sunroom and garage additions, and the low-slope roofs on shops, offices and churches from Downtown to the commercial strips across the city. A flat roof is never truly flat, but its fall is slight, and in a city that receives about 44 inches of rain a year any low spot or blocked drain shows up as water indoors. Our team finds the cause and repairs it properly. Call (910) 748-5341 today for a quote.
Ponding Water
Water that is still standing on a flat roof two days after rain is called ponding, and it is the main enemy of a low-slope roof. It adds weight, finds every weak seam and speeds up the ageing of the membrane under the summer sun. The causes are usually simple: a drain or scupper blocked with pine straw and leaves, a gutter that has pulled away, or a low area where the deck has settled. Our roofers clear the drainage first, then correct the low spot where that is possible. We are committed to making flat roof repair in Fayetteville simple and reliable.
Membranes
Flat roofs are covered with a continuous membrane, commonly modified bitumen, EPDM rubber or TPO, and each is repaired with its own compatible materials. A patch that suits one will not bond to another. Our roofers identify the membrane first, then repair open seams, blisters, punctures and splits, and renew the flashing where the roof meets a wall, an edge or a rooftop unit. Most flat roof leaks are at those edges and penetrations, not in the middle of the roof.
Signs Your Flat Roof Needs Repair
- Water still standing two days after rain
- Blisters or bubbles in the surface
- Seams that have lifted or opened
- Stains on the ceiling near an outside wall
- Plants or moss growing at a drain
Flat Roofs And Fayetteville Weather
Our team knows what the local weather does to a low-slope roof. Sudden summer thunderstorms deliver a lot of water in a short time, which is exactly when a blocked drain matters most. Hurricane Matthew brought 10 to 14 inches of rain to Cumberland County in October 2016, and a flat roof with nowhere for that water to go is under real strain. Summer heat, with July highs averaging above 91 degrees, also dries out sealants and ages seams. A check of the drains before hurricane season is a small job that prevents a large one.
Why Choose Our Team
Because flat roofing is its own trade. Our roofers do not treat a low-slope roof like a shingle roof, and they do not coat over a problem without finding it first. They will tell you honestly whether a repair will hold or whether the membrane is at the end of its life. Reliable flat roof repair, handled by professionals and completed properly, at a fair and reasonable price. Our team is fully committed to reliable flat roof repair in Fayetteville.
