Understanding Commercial Roofing Repair
A commercial roof protects your building, your inventory, and everyone inside it. When leaks, membrane damage, or storm impact occur, fast and correct repair keeps small problems from becoming major structural failures. At LCT Construction and Services Inc., we approach every repair with a clear goal: restore the full performance of your roofing system while extending its usable life. We inspect the entire assembly, not just the visible damage, so we address the true cause rather than the symptom.
Commercial roofs differ greatly from residential ones. They often use flat or low-slope designs, and they carry heavier loads from HVAC units, drainage systems, and foot traffic. This means repair work must account for water pooling, membrane seams, flashing details, and thermal movement. Since we have been in business since 2009, we have handled a wide range of commercial roofing systems and know how each one responds to wear, weather, and age.

Our Repair Process and Methodology
Every repair begins with a detailed inspection. We locate active leaks, check for hidden moisture under the membrane, and evaluate flashing, drains, and penetrations. Moisture that sits under insulation can spread far from the visible leak point, so we trace the water path back to its source. This careful diagnosis prevents repeat repairs and protects the interior of your building.
Once we understand the problem, we prepare a repair plan matched to your specific roof type. We clean and dry the affected area, remove damaged material, and install new membrane, flashing, or sealant using manufacturer-approved methods. As a CertainTeed Premier Shingle Master, we hold ourselves to high standards for material handling and installation. Our crews follow proper procedures so that the repaired section bonds correctly and performs like the rest of the roof.
Common Repair Scenarios We Handle
Commercial buildings face many different roofing problems, and each one calls for a specific solution. Below are several situations we regularly address for property owners and facility managers.
- Membrane punctures and tears: Foot traffic, dropped tools, and debris can pierce TPO, EPDM, or modified bitumen membranes. We patch and seal these openings before water reaches the insulation and deck.
- Flashing failures: Flashing around walls, curbs, and penetrations often fails first. We replace worn flashing and reseal joints to stop leaks at these vulnerable points.
- Ponding water: Standing water strains the roof surface and speeds deterioration. We correct drainage issues and repair low spots to keep water moving off the roof.
- Storm and wind damage: Hail, high winds, and falling limbs can lift or crack roofing materials. We assess the damage quickly and restore the protective barrier.
- Seam separation: Aging adhesives and thermal cycling cause seams to open. We reweld or reseal these areas to restore a watertight surface.
