What to Do If Water Is Trapped Under a Commercial Flat Roof Membrane in Chicago

If you suspect water is trapped beneath the membrane of your commercial flat roof, it’s important to take action quickly. Moisture below the surface can cause hidden damage to the insulation, decking, and even the interior of your building. At Anchor Point Roofing, we specialize in commercial roofing in Chicago and offer reliable solutions to restore the integrity of your roof.

Here’s how we handle trapped water issues:

Perform a thorough inspection of your commercial roof

Cut into the membrane to confirm moisture presence and drain the trapped water

Check the condition of the substrate and framing below

Replace any compromised material as needed

Install a new membrane that matches your existing system — whether it’s granulated modified bitumen, smooth modified, or TPO

Apply an aluminum coating if the system is modified bitumen, to protect and extend the roof’s lifespan

If you're dealing with soft spots, blistering, or visible sagging, we’ll make sure your commercial roof is properly repaired and protected.
