Proper Waterproofing Around HVAC Conduits and Line Sets for Commercial Flat Roofs in Chicago
October 9, 2025
Proper waterproofing around HVAC conduits and line sets plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of commercial flat roofs in Chicago, where constant weather changes can take a toll on roofing systems. At Anchor Point Roofing, we understand that even small penetrations—such as those made for HVAC lines—can become major sources of leaks if not properly sealed and maintained.
To ensure long-lasting protection, our team follows industry best practices for sealing around these penetrations. The process begins with the installation of metal pitch pans around the HVAC conduits and line sets. These pans are carefully fitted to create a containment area that allows for the proper application of sealant. Once in place, the pitch pans are filled with high-quality pourable sealant, which forms a flexible yet durable waterproof barrier.
For additional protection, we touch up the area with Lucas 6000, a trusted commercial-grade coating designed to enhance adhesion and weather resistance. This extra layer helps guard against water intrusion, UV exposure, and the expansion and contraction caused by Chicago’s fluctuating temperatures.
Whether you manage a large industrial property or a smaller commercial building, proper waterproofing around HVAC penetrations ensures your roofing system performs as it should. With Anchor Point Roofing, you can count on expert workmanship, durable materials, and proven methods to keep your Chicago commercial flat roof watertight year-round.
