Flat Roof Repair and Regular Maintenance

Flat roofs are a typical roofing system, particularly for commercial buildings. They are popular because they are cost-effective, easy to install, and provide ample space for building infrastructure like HVAC systems, solar panels, and rooftop gardens. However, flat roofs are also more prone to leaks, water ponding, and wear and tear than pitched roofs. This is because water doesn't flow off the roof as quickly as it does with pitched roofs, and there is more surface area for debris to accumulate.

Northeast Nebraska Energy Systems, Inc. is a local commercial roofing contractor that repairs tar, gravel, or flat rock roofs. We use spray foam or roof coatings to improve flat roofs instead of temporary solutions like mesh reinforcement or patching. Spray foam is popular because it creates a seamless, waterproof layer over the entire roof, preventing leaks and ponding. Roof coatings are also a practical solution because they can extend the life of a roof by up to 15 years.

In addition to repairing flat roofs, Northeast Nebraska Energy Systems, Inc. also installs new flat roofs using high-quality materials like EPDM rubber roofing, modified bitumen roofing materials, and TPO roofing systems. EPDM rubber roofing is popular because it is durable, lightweight, and easy to install. Modified bitumen roofing is also a good choice because it is resistant to weathering and can be installed with various materials. TPO roofing systems are a newer type of material quickly gaining popularity because they are energy-efficient, durable, and environmentally friendly.

Annual inspections are necessary to maintain a flat roof to address any damage on time. During an inspection, a roofing professional will look for signs of wear and tear, damage to the roofing materials, and ponding. We will also check the roof's drainage system to ensure water flows off the roof correctly. If any issues are found, they can be addressed before they become more significant and expensive problems.

In addition to repairing and installing flat roofs, Northeast Nebraska Energy Systems, Inc. also provides other roofing services, including roof coatings, metal roof repairs, and emergency repairs. We understand that roofing issues can be stressful and disruptive to a business, so we offer 24/7 emergency repair services. We also work closely with our clients to ensure their roofing needs are met within their budget and timeline.

Overall, Northeast Nebraska Energy Systems, Inc. is a trusted and experienced commercial roofing contractor that provides high-quality roofing services for flat roofs. Whether you need a repair, installation, or annual inspection, we have the knowledge and expertise to ensure that your flat roof is in good shape for years to come.
