Common Roof Problems and Our Solutions

Clogged Gutters & Drains:

Clogged gutters and drains are silent menaces to your property’s wellbeing. They can cause water to overflow and penetrate your roofing system. Our team can promptly clear blockages and ensure your drainage system is functioning optimally, preventing leaks and resultant damage.

Membrane Blistering / Splitting / Cracking:

A healthy roof membrane is your building’s first line of defense against the elements. If your membrane is blistering, splitting, or cracking, it’s a ticking time bomb for leaks. We can swiftly assess and address membrane issues, restoring the integrity of your roof and protecting your investment.

Ponding Water:

Flat roofs are particularly susceptible to ponding water – an unwelcome pool of trouble. Left unaddressed, ponding water can lead to leaks, structural deterioration, and even a catastrophic roof collapse. Our emergency services include rapid resolution of ponding issues, averting potential disasters.
