Flat Roof & TPO Roof Repair in Houston, TX
Flat roofs do not leak like shingle roofs — they pond, seam-split, and blister. If your low-slope roof is leaking, it needs a flat-roof fix, not a shingle patch.
Houston rain finds every low spot. Ponding water stresses seams and membrane, and a seam leak can travel far from where it drips inside. Flat-roof repair starts with finding the ponding and the failed seam, not just the stain.
Common Flat-Roof Problems in Houston
Ponding water is the big one: water that sits for days after rain breaks down membrane and finds seams. Seam splits, punctures from foot traffic or debris, and failed flashing at walls and drains are the other usual suspects.
TPO is a single-ply membrane welded at seams. When a weld fails or the membrane is punctured, water gets under it and spreads. Repair means cleaning, re-welding or patching the membrane, and fixing drainage so the same spot does not pond again.
Repair or Recoat or Replace?
Isolated seam or puncture damage is repaired. Widespread ponding, saturated insulation, or a membrane at the end of its life may call for recoating or replacement. We check for wet insulation before recommending anything — roofing over wet insulation just hides the problem.
Commercial and residential flat roofs are both served, and we give you a written estimate that separates repair from longer-term options so you can choose with real numbers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is TPO roofing?
TPO is a single-ply white membrane used on low-slope roofs. Its seams are heat-welded, and its light color reflects Houston heat.
Why does my flat roof pond water?
Low slope, clogged drains, or sagging deck areas let water sit. Repair includes fixing drainage, not just patching the leak.
Can a flat roof leak be patched like a shingle roof?
No — flat roofs need membrane-compatible repair (welding or patching), not shingles or tar alone.
