Irvington Commercial Roof Repair Contractor
Find Out Whether a Leaking RTU Curb Can Be Repaired in Place
As an Irvington commercial roof repair contractor, we repair leaking rooftop unit curbs, flashing, seams, and metal laps on commercial roofs, and plan around unit work when needed.
Curb Repairs From an Irvington Commercial Roof Repair Contractor
Rooftop unit curbs leak at their corners and high side, and an Irvington commercial roof repair contractor first sorts out whether the curb can be reflashed with the unit in place or whether the unit has to be lifted or disconnected.
That choice matters in Breckinridge County. The state’s Breckinridge County sheet names separate state inspectors for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical work, apart from the ones serving Hardin County, so unit work brings in the Breckinridge state HVAC inspector.
- Curb reflashed in place when the unit can stay put
- HVAC inspector involved when the unit is lifted or disconnected
- Drain body work routed to the state plumbing inspector
- Roofing review handled by the county’s local building inspector
Commercial Roof Repair Signs at Irvington Rooftop Units
Rooftop units are where many Irvington roof leaks start. These signs show how urgent each one is.
- Repair First
Cracked Curb Corners
Corner flashing splits first as the unit vibrates and the roof expands and contracts around it.
- Repair First
Water Dammed on the High Side
Rain backs up against the upslope side of a curb and soaks into the flashing seam.
- Call Now
Drips Under a Unit Inside
Stains right below a rooftop unit point to the curb flashing or the unit’s own panels.
- Watch
Old Caulk Smeared on the Flashing
Sealant layered over a cracked curb hides the failure and blocks a proper membrane bond.
- Repair First
Condensate and Gas Lines Through the Roof
Bare pipes through the membrane next to a unit leak at the opening and need a boot or a pipe support.
Benefits of Repairing Your Roof
Reflashing a curb at the failure point keeps the unit running and the roof around it dry.
Split Curb Corners
Water enters at the corners where the flashing tore.
What The Repair DoesNew membrane and preformed corner pieces reflash the curb, often with the unit left in place.
Water Dammed Upslope
A pond forms on the high side of the curb every rain.
What The Repair DoesA small cricket or diverter sends water around the curb so it stops sitting against the flashing.
Caulk Over the Failure
Layers of sealant keep cracking open each winter.
What The Repair DoesOld caulk comes off and the curb is reflashed with membrane that bonds, which ends the yearly re-caulking.
Unprotected Pipes
Gas and condensate lines cut straight through the membrane.
What The Repair DoesLines move onto pipe supports or get proper boots, closing the open holes next to the unit.

Curb repairs follow this order, with the inspector question settled before the unit is touched.

Inspect Your Roof
We check the drip under the unit inside, then walk the roof to look at the curb corners, high side, pipes, and nearby seams.
- 2
Decide on the Unit
If the curb can be reflashed with the unit in place, work goes ahead. Lifting or disconnecting it brings in the Breckinridge state HVAC inspector.
- 3
Strip the Old Repairs
Old caulk and loose flashing come off so new membrane bonds to a clean, dry curb and roof surface.
- 4
Reflash and Divert
New membrane and corner pieces go on the curb, a cricket or diverter goes on the high side, and pipes get boots or supports.
- 5
Water Test the Curb
A controlled water test around the finished curb confirms it is dry, and photos go into your file for the next inspection.

Call UsWhat Irvington Owners Ask About Roof Repair
Which state inspectors cover RTU curb repairs in Irvington?
Irvington is in Breckinridge County, and the state’s Breckinridge County sheet names separate state inspectors for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical work. Lifting or disconnecting a unit for a curb repair goes to the state HVAC inspector, drain body repairs to the state plumbing inspector, and roofing work that needs review to the county’s local building inspector.
Electrical permits route through the county or city office, so check with Irvington city hall.
Can an RTU curb be reflashed without moving the unit?
In many cases, yes. If the curb is tall enough and the flashing can be stripped and replaced around the base, new membrane and corner pieces go on with the unit in place.
A curb that is too short for the roof height, or a rotted curb, means lifting the unit, which brings in the HVAC contractor and the state inspector.
Why does caulk keep failing around a rooftop unit?
Caulk sits on top of the problem. The curb and unit move with vibration and temperature swings, and stiff sealant cracks again within a season or two. Stripping the old caulk and reflashing the curb with membrane that bonds to it ends the cycle of re-caulking every year.
What is a cricket behind a rooftop unit?
A small sloped build-up on the high side of the curb that splits the water and sends it around the unit. Without one, rain dams against the upslope side and sits on the flashing seam. A cricket is a repair-level fix for ponding behind a single unit and goes on during the curb repair.
Do condensate lines through the roof cause leaks?
They can, when a bare pipe passes straight through the membrane with no boot. Water follows the pipe through the opening, and the hole widens as the line moves. Moving the line onto a pipe support above the roof, or adding a proper boot, closes the opening for good.
