Flat Roof Leak Detection & Maintenance
Leaks on flat roofs often travel before showing inside your home or building. We use advanced moisture scanning, attic inspections, and seam analysis to identify membrane punctures, underlayment breaches, flashing failures, and HVAC penetration leaks. Curbs and domes are checked at the same time, since leaking skylights often present as a membrane fault several feet away.
Routine flat roof maintenance reduces leaks and extends lifespan. Our maintenance service includes resealing seams, removing debris & standing water, repairing small cracks or blisters, inspecting drainage, and checking penetrations, all of which can run under a scheduled roof maintenance plan.
