As a Radcliff commercial roof repair contractor, we fix leaking seams, flashing, drains, and metal laps on flat and metal commercial roofs. Inspection comes first, then the repair.
Most Radcliff commercial roof repair calls start with one of these signs, ranked from watch and record to call right away.
Water is getting past a seam, curb, or fastener upslope of the stain, and wet insulation is holding it. Tracing it now limits how much board comes out.
Single-ply laps that peel back let rain run under the membrane. Caught early, a clean weld or a taped cover strip closes them.
Cracked washers and tilted screws leave open holes in exposed-fastener roofs. Oversized fasteners with new washers seal the row again.
Ponds at a clogged drain or a low spot wear the membrane faster and add weight to the deck. Chalk the edges after a storm to see their size.
Curb corners and pitch pans move with equipment vibration until the flashing splits. Reflashing the curb stops one of the most common winter leaks.
Rust at the bottom of a panel and inside end laps runs deeper than it looks, so those spots get probed before a patch is chosen.
Every repair visit runs in the same order, so the patch lands on the spot where water actually enters.
We start inside at the drip point, photograph the stain, then walk the roof above it and check seams, curbs, drains, and fasteners upslope of the spot.
Water runs along deck flutes, purlins, and insulation joints before it drips, so the entry point is found by working uphill from the stain with a probe and a controlled water test.
A meter around the leak shows how far water spread into the insulation. Wet board gets cut out and replaced before any patch goes over it.
Matching membrane gets welded or taped, metal laps get restitched and sealed, and flashing gets rebuilt. If rain arrives first, a temporary seal holds the spot until the roof dries.
Drains, seams, and flashing near the repair get a second look, and photos of the finished work go into a record for your building file.
Pick the line that matches what you see on the roof or inside the building. Each one starts with the same inspection.
TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen, and built-up roofs on shops, offices, and storefronts, where seams, blisters, punctures, and drains cause most leaks.

Water shows up during storms from one direction, often near a wall or the roof edge.
A steady drip in one area points to a seam, curb, or drain somewhere upslope of it.
Exposed-fastener panels leak where washers crack and end laps open.
Moisture readings show water spread far past one leak, under large parts of the field.
Each failure below has a fix that stops the water at that spot and leaves the working parts of the roof in place.
Rain runs under the membrane at the lap and soaks the insulation below.
The lap is cleaned, dried, and welded or taped to match the membrane, so the rest of the sheet keeps working.
Each failed washer is a small hole in the panel that drips onto the purlin.
Backed-out screws come out and oversized fasteners with new washers go in, driven straight and snug.
Rooftop unit curbs leak at the corners first, often right after a hard freeze.
New membrane and corner pieces reflash the curb, and a small cricket on the high side keeps water from damming against it.
Water collects at the drain, so a gap under the ring leaks quickly.
The membrane is reset under a clean ring with every bolt in place, plus a new strainer where the old one cracked.
Board under a long-running leak holds water and keeps dripping after the rain stops.
Only the wet boards are cut out and replaced, then new membrane is tied into the dry roof around them.

Question about your own roof?
Call UsWe fix the parts of a commercial roof that let water in and leave the working membrane or panels alone. On flat roofs that means split seams, punctures, curb flashing, and clogged drains.
On metal roofs it means leaking laps, rust-through, pipe boots, and backed-out fasteners. Every repair starts by confirming where the water enters, because the stain inside rarely sits under the hole.
Roof cement, tape, and wet-surface sealant stop water during a storm and hold for a short time. Once the roof dries, the spot is cleaned and repaired with matching membrane, flashing, or fasteners.
Cement smeared on a TPO or EPDM seam blocks a proper weld or tape bond later, so it comes off before the permanent repair goes on.
Freeze-thaw cycles, ice at drains, and heavy spring rain turn small defects into active leaks. The National Weather Service 1991–2020 normals for Louisville list 48.3 inches of yearly precipitation, including 13.4 inches of snow.
Ice blocks gutters in winter, meltwater backs up under metal end laps during a thaw, and spring storms drive rain at coping caps. A late-fall check clears drains before ice sets in.
Dated photos of the interior stain, the weather when it leaked (including wind direction), the roof type and age, past repair records, and how to reach the roof hatch or ladder.
Note where rooftop units, skylights, and drains sit near the leak too. With that in hand, the roof walk starts at the right seams and curbs.
Many repairs can. Metal fasteners, cold-rated lap sealant, and mechanically attached flashing go on in cold weather, and TPO and PVC seams can be welded on a dry, clean sheet.
Adhesives, primers, and some sealants need warmer, dry days, so those parts of a job wait for a better stretch while a temporary seal holds the spot.
