Our commercial roof repair services in Frankfort cover flat membranes, metal panels, hidden leaks, and plant roofs, each with its own repair methods.
Each of our commercial roof repair services in Frankfort starts with the same roof walk, then moves to repair methods matched to the roof.
Seams, blisters, punctures, and ponding on TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen, and built-up roofs, patched with matching membrane once any wet board is removed. Drains and crickets get checked on the same visit.
Flat roof repair in Frankfort
Leaking screws, end laps, rust, gutters, ridge caps, and skylight panels on exposed-fastener and standing seam roofs, repaired in place panel by panel. Loose purlin screws get tightened first so new lap sealant stays closed.
Metal roof repair in Frankfort
Stains traced upslope to the curb, boot, pitch pan, drain, or seam that let water in, then that detail is rebuilt and checked in the next rain. Moisture readings show any wet board that has to come out.
Roof leak repair in Frankfort
Exhaust residue, process heat, crowded curbs, and long drain lines, handled around shifts under the plant's hot-work and access rules. Each fix is logged on a marked roof plan.
Industrial roof repair in FrankfortEach service starts from a different roof and a different first question on the roof walk. The last row covers roofs that have moved past spot repair.
| Service | Roofs It Covers | Common Failures | First Check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flat roof repair | TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen, and built-up roofs | Base flashing at walls, open laps, blisters, punctures, and ponding | Moisture readings around the stain and nearby laps |
| Metal roof repair | Exposed-fastener and standing seam panel roofs | Screw washers, end laps, eave rust, gutters, and skylight panels | Screw lines and laps upslope of the drip inside |
| Leak repair | Any commercial roof type, membrane or metal | Curbs, pitch pans, pipe boots, drains, coping, and wall flashing | An interior stain map tied to the roof features above it |
| Industrial repair | Plant roofs with fans, vents, and process equipment | Residue around exhaust fans, heat damage at vents, and cracked curbs | The exhaust each fan carries and the plant safety rules |
| Restoration or replacement | Roofs past the point of spot repair | Wet insulation spreading, leaks moving every season | Moisture readings across the whole field |
Most owners call about a stain rather than a roof type. Tell us where the water shows up, and the right service gets sorted out on the roof walk. Photos of the stain and ceiling help too.
Get A Free EstimateAll four services run through the same first visit, so the repair matches what the roof shows.
The leak area inside is reviewed and marked on a floor plan, then crews climb up and work upslope from the stain, checking seams, laps, fasteners, curbs, drains, and flashing.
Every failed detail is photographed and marked on the roof plan, so you see the open lap, cracked curb, rusted panel, or clogged drain that the repair addresses.
Temporary patches go on if water is still coming in, and any wet insulation or decking that has to come out is laid out on the roof plan with its size.
Matching membrane, panels, flashing, or fasteners go in once the roof is dry and clean, and the finished work goes into the repair log with its date and method.
Water that gets into a commercial roof travels before it drips. Steel deck flutes channel it toward walls, purlins carry it sideways, insulation joints spread it under the membrane, and pipes drop it at hangers. Tracing begins on the roof above the stain and works upslope, and a floor plan with the stains marked speeds that search.
Purpose, materials, and prep. A temporary patch uses roof cement, tape, or wet-surface sealant to stop active water, often on a wet roof. A permanent repair rebuilds the failed detail with matching membrane, welded or primed patches, new flashing, or panel sections on a cleaned, dry surface. Roof cement on single-ply membrane gets cut out before that.
Freeze-thaw cycles, ice in gutters, and snow load. Water freezes in open laps and pushes them wider, ice dams at metal eaves back water under panels, frozen drains send meltwater over flashing, and older membranes crack where they flex. Louisville's airport reached 3°F on January 20, 2024, per the National Weather Service.
Access, the number of problem spots, and how much wet material comes out matter more than the patch itself. Roof height and lift needs, the count of leaks, wet insulation, membrane type, storm timing, and rooftop units that need an HVAC tech all add to it. One curb reflash costs far less than tracing several slow leaks.
They can be. When a building has a membrane section and a metal section, one roof walk covers both, and the repairs are grouped so the same visit handles seams on one and fasteners on the other where access allows.
Flat roof repair covers TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen, and built-up membranes. Metal roof repair covers exposed-fastener and standing seam panels. Leak repair works on any of them, and industrial repair covers plant roofs where process equipment, exhaust, and heat change the materials used.
Yes. A log with the date, location, method, and cost of each repair shows when one area keeps failing. That record turns a string of service calls into a plan for restoring or replacing one section of roof before it fails.
Only when water is coming in during the visit or the roof is too wet for permanent work. The temporary material comes off later, because roof cement or wet-surface tape left under a new patch keeps it from bonding to the membrane.
Tell us what kind of roof you have, where it leaks, and when it started, and we will match the visit to the right service.
