Flat Roof Issues in Chicago: Is Your Roof Deck or Substrate Damaged?

Flat roofs in Chicago take a beating from harsh weather, standing water, and aging materials. Over time, these conditions can lead to substrate or roof deck damage—especially if the roof hasn’t been regularly maintained. Soft spots, sagging, or visible surface cracks could be signs that the underlying structure is deteriorating.

At Anchor Point Roofing, we specialize in Chicago flat roof repair and can assess your roof for signs of damage. If we find areas where the substrate is compromised, our team will carefully remove the damaged material and install new ¾” plywood to restore a solid, secure base. From there, we’ll apply a new roofing membrane to match the existing system—whether that’s a granulated membrane, smooth modified bitumen, or TPO.

Every flat roof has unique needs, and we’re here to make sure yours is safe, watertight, and built to last. If you're noticing issues or just want peace of mind, contact Anchor Point Roofing for a thorough inspection and expert guidance on your next steps.
