Flat Roof Repair in Dearborn, MI

Flat and low-slope roofs play by different rules — water doesn't run off, it sits, seeps, and tests every seam. Dearborn has plenty of them: garage roofs, additions, porches, and small commercial buildings. Whether yours is EPDM rubber, TPO, or modified bitumen, we repair the system you have with materials made for it — and fix the drainage issues that caused the failure.

How flat roofs fail

Seams are the weak point: adhesive ages, thermal movement works laps loose, and water finds the opening. Punctures come from foot traffic, fallen branches, and HVAC techs. And ponding — water standing 48+ hours after rain — accelerates everything by keeping seams submerged.

On top of that, Michigan's freeze-thaw turns trapped moisture into a wedge that pries at every imperfect seam, winter after winter.

Repairs by membrane type

EPDM rubber: seam splits get cleaned, primed, and re-seamed with cover tape; punctures get reinforced patches. TPO: heat-welded repairs that fuse the patch into a single sheet. Modified bitumen: torch- or cold-applied patches matched to the existing plies.

Whatever the membrane, we also address ponding — tapered insulation, additional drains, or re-pitching — because patching a seam that sits underwater is a repair with an expiration date.

When patching stops making sense

Isolated seam failures and punctures are ideal repairs. But when seams are failing in multiple areas, the membrane is brittle or shrinking, or ponding covers large sections with no practical drainage fix, a recover or full replacement is the honest recommendation. We'll show you the membrane's condition up close and explain the call.

Answers

Flat Roof Repair: Common Questions

How much does flat roof repair cost in Dearborn?
It depends on the membrane type, the size of the failed area, and whether drainage needs correcting. A single seam repair is a modest job; widespread seam failure with ponding is a bigger one. Call (313) 769-7896 for an inspection and written quote.
Can you coat my flat roof instead of repairing it?
Coatings have their place on the right roof in the right condition — but a coating over failing seams and trapped moisture just hides the problem. We'll tell you honestly whether your roof is a coating candidate or needs real repair.
How long do flat roof repairs last?
A proper membrane repair — correct materials, correct prep, drainage addressed — lasts for years. A patch slapped over a ponding seam might last a season. We do the first kind.
Do you work on commercial flat roofs?
Yes — garages, additions, porches, and small commercial buildings across Dearborn and Wayne County. Call (313) 769-7896 and describe the roof.
