Flat Roof Feels Soft or Spongy? What It Means and How to Fix It in Chicago

If your flat roof feels soft or spongy when you walk on it, this could be a sign of a damaged or deteriorating substrate. Over time, moisture can seep into the roof layers, weakening the materials and leading to potential leaks and structural issues. Ignoring this problem can result in more extensive damage, so it’s essential to address it as soon as possible. At Anchor Point Roofing, we specialize in roof repair in Chicago and can help ensure your roof is safe and sturdy.

For a thorough fix, we will remove the soft and damaged substrate along with the old membrane. We’ll then install new 3/4" plywood and apply a new heat-welded modified bitumen membrane to restore your roof's integrity. To ensure a durable, leak-free finish, we’ll touch up the area with aluminum coating, providing long-lasting protection against the elements.
