Flat & low-slope roofs

Drains, scuppers and parapet flashings are where most flat-roof leaks start.

What this covers

Modified bitumen, TPO, EPDM and coating systems on flat roofs, row houses and commercial buildings.

Before the roofer arrives

  • Stay off the roof, especially when it is wet, icy or after a storm.
  • Put buckets under drips and move belongings and electronics away from wet ceilings.
  • Photograph damage inside and, from the ground, outside — useful for an insurance claim.
