Call (973) 938-8387Note 01How to repair a flat roof without replacing it?
Repair what failed: the seam that opened, the upstand where the membrane meets the house wall, or the drain that ponds. A low section rarely fails in the middle, so most repairs are at its edges, made in the same membrane system and terminated rather than sealed.
Note 02What's the best way to fix a flat roof?
Find the failure first: an open seam, membrane pulled away at the house wall, or water sitting by a drain. Then repair that detail in the same membrane system, terminated mechanically at the wall rather than sealed. Patching the middle of a roof that fails at its edges fixes nothing.
Note 03Is standing water on a flat roof a problem?
Not if it clears within a day or two of rain. Water still sitting a week later is a seam being tested every day, and it usually means the drain is not at the low point. In winter that same hollow fills with ice.
