Old HVAC Portal Causing Leaks on a Commercial Flat Roof in Chicago

Leaks on commercial flat roofs in Chicago often come from aging or poorly maintained penetrations, especially HVAC portals. These areas are vulnerable because they involve multiple components working together to keep water out. When an old HVAC portal begins to fail, it can quickly allow water intrusion that leads to costly repairs inside the building.

For this commercial roofing project in Chicago, Anchor Point Roofing was called in to resolve ongoing leakage around an outdated HVAC portal. Our team carefully removed the old portal and prepared the surrounding area for a durable, long-lasting repair. To ensure proper protection, we installed a new metal pitch pan designed specifically for commercial roofing applications. This pitch pan was filled with a high-quality pourable sealant that creates a watertight barrier and helps protect against future leaks.

To further reinforce the repair, our roofers applied Lucas 6000, a trusted roofing coating that provides added durability and weather resistance. This step ensures that the area around the HVAC portal is properly sealed and protected from Chicago’s demanding weather conditions.

At Anchor Point Roofing, we take pride in providing reliable commercial roofing services throughout Chicago. Whether it’s addressing issues like leaking HVAC penetrations or handling larger flat roof repairs, our team delivers solutions that extend the life of your roof and safeguard your property.
