As an Evansville commercial roof repair contractor, we fix leaks, seams, drains, flashing, and metal panels on plants, warehouses, stores, and offices.
Most Evansville commercial roof repair calls start with something seen indoors. Each row pairs that sign with what we usually find on the roof above it.
A brown ring grows a little after each storm, often well away from where the water actually enters.
Water runs along the deck flutes from an open seam or a cracked pipe boot, so we trace upslope from the stain before cutting anything.
Buckets come out in downpours and stay dry through light rain, which tells us water is backing up somewhere.
A slow drain, a clogged scupper, or flashing set too low at a wall lets standing water climb over the edge of the membrane.
Orange trails run down from the fastener rows on the underside of a metal building roof.
Washers have split or screws have backed out, and water follows the threads. Oversized screws with new washers and sealed laps stop it.
Ceiling tiles bow or drop out, and rooms smell damp for days after rain.
Insulation under the membrane is holding water. Cores and a moisture meter map how far it reaches, so only the wet boards come out.
Water shows up along an outside wall, sometimes a full story below the roof edge.
Coping joints, base flashing, or counterflashing on a parapet have opened, and water is running down inside the wall cavity.
Drips appear near a duct drop, a supply diffuser, or the unit access panel in a ceiling.
Curb corners split as rooftop units vibrate, and condensate lines or loose unit panels add water of their own.
Five decisions, taken in order on every roof we repair.
We walk every roof section, check drains, curbs, seams, and parapets, and photograph what we find. A leak inside gets traced from the ceiling up to the roof.
Moisture readings and cores show whether the damage stops at one seam or has spread into the insulation. That answer sets the size of the repair.
Failed details on an otherwise healthy roof get patched. A section with wet boards across many cores gets cut out and rebuilt with matching layers.
TPO takes welded patches, EPDM takes primed tape, and metal takes matching panels and oversized fasteners. A matched repair holds at its edges.
Repairs are timed around shifts, open hours, and weather. Each opening is closed before the crew leaves, and you get photos of the finished work.
These are the changes owners notice once a repair is done right and tied into the existing roof.
Before The Repair
After The Repair
Call and tell us where the water shows up inside and what sits above it on the roof. The trace starts there.
Call UsSend the address and a few lines about the roof. We set up an inspection and hand you a written repair list.
Schedule Free InspectionEach service covers a different kind of roof or problem. Start with the one that matches what you are seeing at the building.
Flat and low-slope roofs on stores, offices, and plants: TPO, EPDM, built-up, and modified bitumen. We patch with matching membrane, rebuild drains, and cut out wet insulation before closing the area.
Typical Repairs
Exposed-fastener and standing-seam roofs on warehouses, shops, and plants. Repairs cover fasteners, laps, trim, and rusted panels, with the framing checked from inside wherever rust has spread.
Typical Repairs
Active leaks traced from the stain inside to the entry point on the roof, then repaired at the seam, curb, parapet, or drain where water really gets in.
Typical Repairs
Plant and warehouse roofs with exhaust, ductwork, and heavy curbs. Repairs are planned around shifts, with protection below and every opening sealed before the crew leaves.
Typical Repairs
Most leaking roofs need a repair rather than a new roof. This table shows how what we find on the roof points to the size of the job.
| What We Find | Usually A Repair | Usually A Section Rebuild | Usually Replacement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leak at one curb, seam, or drain | Yes, re-flash or patch that detail | Only if cores around it are wet | Rarely |
| Wet insulation in cores | One or two small wet spots | Wet boards across one roof area | Wet boards across most of the roof |
| Rust on metal panels | Surface rust at a few laps | Holes in panels along one run | Holes across many panel runs |
| Seams opening | A few laps on a newer roof | One area of laps failing together | Seams failing faster than they can be patched |
| Membrane surface | Flexible and takes a weld or tape | Brittle in one exposed area | Brittle or cracked across the field |
Is your building near Evansville? We repair commercial roofs across the five towns below; for anywhere else, call us or send us a message.
Owners here often run several buildings on one property, so we rank repairs across every roof in a single visit.
Older brick blocks put the parapet, coping, and wall flashing at the center of most leak calls.
Roofs here carry rooftop units and exhaust, and the curbs under that equipment are where leaks start.
When water is coming in, a stopgap seal goes on first and the permanent repair follows in dry weather.
Many roofs here carry years of patches, and knowing what was done before shapes the next repair.
Short answers to what owners ask before a repair is booked.
Leases And Costs
Your lease answers it. Retail landlords commonly carry roof repairs and spread part of the bill through common area charges, while a triple-net lease can move roof costs onto tenants. Read the repair, maintenance, and CAM sections. Our inspection notes record what failed and why, which gives both sides the same facts.
Move stock and electronics away from the drip, set a bucket on plastic, and photograph the stain and any ceiling damage. Write down when it leaked and what the weather was doing. If you know where the roof hatch or ladder is, tell us, so the first visit goes straight to the area above the leak.
Scope Of Repair
Yes, when the damage is contained and the roof around it is in good shape. Damaged membrane or panels come out along with any wet boards, new material goes in, and it is welded, taped, or lapped into the old roof. We still walk the rest of the roof so other worn spots get noted.
Every part of the roof that can leak: membrane or panels, seams, flashing at walls and curbs, drains, gutters, parapets, and equipment supports. Ponding and debris get noted, and cores or a moisture scan check the insulation where readings run high. You get photos, written findings, and a repair list sorted by urgency.
Storms
We walk the roof soon after the storm and mark bruised or cracked membrane, dented metal, and broken vents or skylights. Cores show whether insulation underneath was crushed. Small hits get patched and re-flashed, and badly damaged sections get replaced. The photos and core results go to you for any insurance claim you file.
Yes. Wind lifts edge metal and coping first, and a loose edge can peel membrane back in the next storm. A walk of the perimeter, the corners, and the rooftop unit panels after a hard blow catches lifted metal while it is still a small repair.
Send the address and what the roof is doing, or call. We trace the problem on site and give you a written repair list.
