Flat Roof Repair in West Palm Beach, FL

Flat roofs are common across South Florida: Florida rooms and additions, carports, porches, older cottages with low-slope sections, and most commercial buildings. They are simple roofs, but heavy rain finds every weakness, and water that sits is water that eventually gets in.

Mendieta Roofing repairs foam and single-ply flat roofs, and permit records list flat deck and flat roof replacements among its jobs in Lake Worth Beach.

Two systems, two kinds of repair

Spray foam. Spray polyurethane foam goes on as a liquid, expands into a seamless layer, and is protected by an elastomeric coating. Its enemy is the sun: once the coating wears thin, UV breaks the foam down. Repairs mean cutting out damaged foam, filling, and recoating.

Single-ply. Single-ply roofs use sheets of membrane, such as TPO, joined at the seams. Most problems start at those seams, at the edges and around anything that pokes through. Repairs mean cleaning, patching and resealing the membrane.

Signs a flat roof needs attention

Water still standing a day or two after rain
Blisters, bubbles or soft spots underfoot
Cracked, chalky or peeling coating
Splits or open seams in the membrane
Stains on the ceiling below, especially near walls
Drains or scuppers clogged with leaves

Edges, parapets and drains

Many flat roof leaks are not in the middle of the roof at all. They start where the roof meets a parapet wall, at the flashing, or at a drain that has been clogged by leaves and debris. Those are the first places worth checking, and often the cheapest fixes on the whole roof.

Questions about flat roof repair

Can a flat roof be repaired instead of replaced?

Often. Localized damage on foam or single-ply can be patched and recoated. If water has soaked the insulation or deck across a large area, replacement is usually the better path.

Why does water pond on my flat roof?

Flat roofs need a slight slope to drain. Sagging decks, built-up debris and clogged drains all leave water sitting, and standing water ages a roof faster.

Is the estimate free?

Yes. Call (561) 797-5457 or send the form.
