Ponding Water on Park Ridge Flat Roof? Ask About Cricket Installation

Is standing water a common sight on your flat roof in Park Ridge after it rains? While some minor pooling can occur, persistent ponding water can be detrimental to your roof's health. The constant moisture can deteriorate the roofing membrane, leading to leaks, mold growth, and even structural damage over time. Don't let these issues compromise your Park Ridge home.

Here at Anchor Point Roofing, we have an effective solution to address ponding water on flat roofs: cricket installation. We will provide and install tapered insulation or a plywood assembly to create a cricket on the rear (high side) of your roof. This carefully designed slope will act as a watershed, redirecting water away from low-lying areas and significantly alleviating most of the ponding. To ensure a durable and watertight repair, we will then install a new bitumen base sheet over the tapered insulation, followed by a smooth modified bitumen membrane over the newly installed cricket. As a final protective measure, we will touch up the area with an aluminum coating to enhance reflectivity and extend the lifespan of your roof repair. Anchor Point Roofing is your trusted expert for flat roof repair in Park Ridge and surrounding areas, including Chicago. Contact us today for a consultation and let us help you eliminate ponding water and protect your property.
