Why is My Chicago Flat Roof Leaking? Check for Openings

If you're noticing unexplained damp spots on your ceiling, water pooling on your flat roof, or visible gaps, it's likely due to openings in the membrane. These "openings" aren't always obvious holes; they can be subtle issues like open seams where the membrane has pulled apart, small punctures, tears, or areas where the roofing material has blistered or cracked. Any compromise in the membrane's integrity can allow water to infiltrate your building, leading to costly damage to insulation, structural components, and interior finishes.

At Anchor Point Roofing, we specialize in comprehensive Chicago roof repair, addressing all types of issues on flat roofs. Our experienced team will thoroughly inspect the entire rooftop to pinpoint the exact source of the leaks and assess the extent of the damage.

Once the problem areas are identified, our repair process involves:

Prepping and cleaning the area: We ensure the surface is meticulously cleaned and prepared to allow for optimal adhesion of the new materials.

Installing new membrane: We will install new membrane that perfectly matches your existing flat roof system. Whether your roof is comprised of a durable TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) membrane, a robust granulated membrane, or a smooth modified bitumen membrane, we have the expertise to provide a seamless, watertight patch.

Applying aluminum coating (for smooth modified bitumen membrane): If your existing roof is a smooth modified bitumen membrane, we will apply a protective aluminum coating to the repaired area. This not only enhances durability but also provides excellent UV protection and helps to reflect sunlight, contributing to energy efficiency.
