Is Your Flat Roof Leaking? How Membrane Pulling Away Can Cause Water Damage

If you notice your flat roof leaking, it’s crucial to address the issue immediately, especially if the membrane is pulling away. This condition can allow water to seep into your roof structure, leading to significant damage, including mold growth, rotting wood, and costly repairs down the line. Ignoring the problem can result in more extensive damage, making repairs much more complicated and expensive.

At Anchor Point Roofing, we specialize in Chicago roof repair and can effectively handle membrane issues. Our process includes removing and hauling away the existing modified bitumen wall flashing from the parapet wall as needed. We will then apply a new asphalt primer to the parapet wall and install a new modified bitumen wall flashing along its length. Additionally, we will provide and install a new termination bar or counter flashing and apply a commercial-grade sealant to the top of the termination bar. Addressing these repairs promptly will help protect your home and extend the life of your roof.
