Openings in the Membrane: Addressing Common Issues on Chicago Commercial Flat Roofs

Openings in the membrane are a common issue on commercial flat roofs across Chicago, especially with the city’s harsh weather conditions. Over time, exposure to sun, rain, and temperature changes can cause cracks, splits, or punctures in the roofing membrane, leading to potential leaks and water damage if left unaddressed.

At Anchor Point Roofing, our commercial roofing team specializes in identifying and repairing these openings to restore the integrity of your flat roof. For damaged areas, we install a new membrane patch that matches the existing roofing system—whether it’s TPO or modified bitumen.

For smooth modified bitumen roofs, we also apply an aluminum coating over the repaired section to enhance durability, protect against UV rays, and ensure a clean, uniform finish.

Proper membrane repair not only prevents costly water intrusion but also extends the lifespan of your commercial roof. If you’ve noticed signs of wear or small openings on your Chicago property’s flat roof, contact Anchor Point Roofing for a professional inspection and long-lasting repair solution.
