What kind of flat roof do you have?

Older and traditional

2. Tar and Gravel

3. Rolled Roofing - peel and stick

4. Gravel Ballast 

Newer and more advanced 

1. EPDM - black Rubber 

25mil to 60milEPDM is an extremely durable synthetic rubber roofing membrane (ethylene propylene diene terpolymer) widely used ...

2. TPO - White TPO Roof? 

TPO stands for thermoplastic polyolefin, a single-ply roofing membrane that covers the surface of the roof. The name is a bit misleading, because rather than being a plastic, TPO is actually one of a few different types of rubber, usually a blend of polypropylene and ethylene-propylene rubber.

Top 5 reasons your commercial or flat roof has failed you.

5. Age - as the old adage goes put it on and forget about it. Did you know that flat roofs should have annual inspections if they are more than 5 years old this is because of multiple failure points like failed adhesive, age-related cracking, and most common storm damage if your flat roof is more than 10 years old request free inspection and damage assessment from DiRito Roofing and Claims
4. Improper installation techniques  - a wise person said build-it-and-they-will-come however they did not know how to install a flat roof. Although there are many types of flat roofs including foam repair and elastomeric repair it does not imply a good solution or proper technique. If the seams we're not clean adhesive fails, if the mechanical fasteners too short the roof will fail, if foam is used over a bad roof, one crack and closed cell foam becomes a perfect water container every snow and storm.  
3. Wrong materials used, usually no permit.  Many times shingles or metal roofing is used on slopes less than 3/12 or 3 in rise per foot. These are considered low-slope and require special flat roof specific materials. However, it is not uncommon to encounter shingles being used with severe leaking or standing seam Steel on a complete flat roof there must be proper drainage and enough slope.
2. Mechanical damage on roof - many times the maintenance man or an attempt to clear water in a ponding area and their shoes, tools, or screws cut through membrane. This one or two tears on a flat roof well allow moisture penetration. These can be very difficult to find and diagnose many times full roof replacement may be required
1. Storm damage from recent or older storms - even perfectly installed Roofs can experience storm damage it takes only one stone to damage the material on the roof and your property has a ruined roof.
