Flat Roofing FAQs
What is the best material for a flat roof in Alabama?
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) is often the best choice for Alabama's climate. Its white, reflective surface reduces heat absorption, which is critical during our hot summers.
How long does a flat roof last?
A well-maintained TPO or EPDM roof typically lasts 20–30 years. Regular inspections and prompt leak repairs are essential for maximizing the lifespan of a flat roof.
Can you fix a leak on a flat roof without replacing it?
Yes, in many cases. If the overall membrane is sound, we can perform targeted repairs using heat-welded patches or specialized sealants. We'll give you an honest appraisal of whether repair or replacement is better.
Why is water pooling on my flat roof?
Water pooling (ponding) is usually caused by poor drainage or sagged areas. We can often correct this by improving the roof's pitch with tapered insulation during a replacement or adjusting drainage points.
How do you fix ponding water on a flat roof?
We install tapered insulation systems beneath the membrane to create a positive slope towards drainage points. This eliminates standing water, which is the #1 cause of premature flat roof failure.
