Why is My Commercial Flat Roof Membrane Open in Chicago? Causing Leaks

Discovering leaks in your Chicago commercial building, especially when you have a flat roof, often points directly to openings in the roof membrane. These aren't always obvious punctures. More commonly, you'll find issues like:

Open seams: Where sections of the membrane have pulled apart due to thermal expansion and contraction, adhesive failure, or age.

Blisters and delaminations: Air or moisture trapped beneath the membrane causing bubbles that can eventually rupture.

Cracks and tears: From weathering, impact damage, or structural movement.

Any of these openings allow water to infiltrate your roof system, leading to significant problems for your business. This includes interior water damage, saturated insulation (which ruins its efficiency), and potential structural damage to your building's deck. Ignoring these issues will inevitably lead to more extensive and costly commercial roof repairs down the line.
