Common Cause of Roof Leaks: Protrusions on Chicago Commercial Flat Roofs
July 2, 2025

When it comes to commercial roofing, one of the most common sources of leaks is around roof protrusions—such as HVAC line sets, electrical conduit, and plumbing vents. These penetrations may seem minor, but when not properly sealed, they can quickly lead to costly water damage.
At Anchor Point Roofing, we frequently address leak issues on Chicago commercial flat roofs caused by improper flashing or sealing around these areas. To provide a long-lasting solution, we install metal pitch pans around the protrusions. These are then filled with a pourable sealant to fully encapsulate the penetration and block water intrusion.
To finish the job and ensure added protection, we touch up the area with Lucas 6000, a high-quality, moisture-resistant roof coating. This final layer helps extend the life of the repair and resist future weather-related damage.
If you're experiencing leaks or need Chicago roof repairs, especially around penetrations and protrusions, don't wait. Contact Anchor Point Roofing for a thorough inspection and expert repair solutions tailored to your commercial property.
