Chicago Commercial Flat Roof Leaking Around Protrusions? Get It Fixed!

Noticing leaks on your Chicago commercial flat roof, particularly around pipes, vents, or other elements breaking through the roof's surface? These "protrusions" are often the primary culprits when water starts to find its way into your building. Things like HVAC line sets, plumbing vents, electrical conduits, or even old, unused pipes can all create vulnerabilities. Without a perfect, long-lasting seal, even small gaps around these penetrations can allow significant water intrusion.

When the existing seals around these protrusions degrade due to Chicago's harsh weather, UV exposure, or general wear and tear, water can seep directly into your business. This leads to costly problems such as:

Interior Damage: Stains on ceilings, damaged drywall, ruined inventory, and even compromised electrical systems.

Insulation Saturation: Wet insulation loses its effectiveness, leading to higher energy bills and potential mold growth.

Structural Deterioration: Prolonged water exposure can weaken the roof deck and other structural components of your commercial property.

At Anchor Point Roofing, we specialize in expert commercial roofing solutions and Chicago roof repairs. We understand that properly sealing these critical areas is paramount to a watertight flat roof.

For protrusions like HVAC line sets, our proven repair method ensures a durable, leak-free seal:

We meticulously inspect and prepare the area around the protrusion, cleaning it thoroughly to ensure optimal adhesion.

We then install a custom-fit metal pitch pan around the base of the protrusion. A pitch pan acts as a watertight reservoir designed to contain sealant.

Finally, we pour the pitch pan with a high-quality, commercial-grade pourable sealant. This self-leveling, flexible sealant completely encapsulates the protrusion within the pan, creating a robust, long-lasting, and watertight barrier that stands up to the elements.
