SIGNS IT’S TIME TO REPLACE YOUR Flat Roof
If you have a flat roof, it's important to watch for signs of wear and damage to avoid leaks, structural issues, and costly repairs. Here are the key signs it’s time to replace your flat roof:
1.Frequent Leaks or Water Damage
-
Persistent leaks, even after repairs, indicate the roofing system is failing.
-
Water stains on ceilings or walls, bubbling paint,
or mold growth suggest moisture infiltration.
2. Extensive Cracking or Splitting
-
Cracks or splits in the roofing material (EPDM, TPO, modified bitumen)
allow water to seep in.
-
Alligatoring (a pattern of cracks resembling alligator skin)
is a sign of advanced deterioration.
3. Blistering or Bubbling
-
Bubbles or blisters form when moisture gets
trapped under the roofing membrane, weakening its integrity.
-
Large or numerous blisters mean the roof is no
longer properly sealed.
4. Pooling Water (Ponding)
-
water remains pooled for more than 48 hours after rain, the
roof may have poor drainage or sagging areas.
-
Prolonged ponding accelerates roof decay and leads to leaks.
5. Visible Roof Membrane Damage
-
ears, punctures, or open seams in single-ply membranes
(like EPDM or TPO) compromise waterproofing.
-
Loose or missing flashing around edges, vents, or
HVAC units can cause leaks.
6. Age of the Roof
-
Most flat roofs last 10–25 years, depending on material
and maintenance.
-
If your roof is near or past its lifespan, replacement is
more cost-effective than constant repairs.
