Flat roofs for commercial buildings in Fort Erie are exposed to many stressors, such as heavy foot traffic, temperature fluctuations, freeze-thaw cycles, heavy rainfall, and other extreme weather elements. At Watertite Roofing, we provide regular inspections and comprehensive repair services. Here’s what makes our flat roof repairs stand out.
Our team may untilize high-tech tools, such as infrared cameras and drones, to identify specific areas of moisture intrusion or heat loss. We combine equipment-assisted roof inspections with visual observations. That means that in addition to our high-tech tools, our experienced roofers conduct a thorough visual inspection of your roof to identify any signs of natural wear and tear as well as potential water damage.
This detailed approach to roof inspection allows us to identify any cracks, membrane blisters, moisture intrusions, leaks, and other signs of roof damage. After the inspection, we create a detailed report including photos and explanations, that clearly show the nature and extent of your roof’s condition. We also recommend cost-effective roof repairs to fix the issues.
If any leaks, signs of rot, or cracks were spotted during the inspection, we’ll offer immediate roof repairs before minor issues turn into costly repairs. We specialize in a broad range of flat roof repairs, and are able to service a range of flat roof systems including EPDM, Modified Bitumen, Asphalt & Gravel Built-Up-Roofing, TPO membranes, and PVC roofing. Here are some signs we may identify indicating you need immediate flat roof repairs:

Like any other component of your commercial or industrial building, your flat roof won’t last forever. Proper installation and preventive maintenance may lengthen its lifespan, but eventually you’ll need to replace it. Unfortunately, it isn’t easy to know when installing a new roof will be more cost-effective than repairs. Our team is here to help figure that out.
At Watertite Roofing, we never recommend replacing a commercial flat roof unless it’s the right move for the protection of your property. We have spent five decades repairing and replacing flat roofs in Fort Erie, and one fact is clear: timing is everything.
Repairs can keep your flat roof efficient and extend its lifespan. However, even professional repairs on an old, deteriorated roof will cost you more money in the long run. Think about the damage to your property’s interior, insurance claims, tenant complaints, and business disruptions due to emergency shutdowns.
At the same time, replacing your commercial flat roof too early is like throwing away several years of potential value. That’s why you need a professional assessment of your roof to determine if replacing your roof is more cost-effective than continued repairs. Here are the common warning signs you need to replace your building’s flat roof.
Each flat roofing system has a specific lifespan, depending on the quality of installation and maintenance. The table below shows the estimated lifespan for each flat roofing system for commercial and industrial buildings.
| Flat Roofing Type | Average Lifespan |
|---|---|
| Built-Up Roofing (BUR) | 15 to 30 years |
| Modified Bitumen | 15 to 25 years |
| EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) | 15 to 25 years |
| TPO roofing systems | 15 to 25 years |
| PVC roofing membrane | 20 to 30 years |
You’ll need to replace your flat roof if it has reached the limit of its useful life. By this time, your roof may have significantly lost its weather resistance. Perhaps your modified bitumen flat roof was once low-maintenance and could withstand exposure to extreme weather. As it ages, it becomes vulnerable to cracks, leaks, and blistering. If these signs are visible and prevalent, replacing it may be the best option.
If you notice water pooling on your roof for more than 48 hours, it could be due to sagging insulation, improper slope design, or clogged drains. Stagnant water on your roof can speed up the deterioration of your roofing membrane and potentially damage the roof deck below it. While a clogged drain can be unclogged, water pooling due to extensive roof damage is a warning sign that you need to replace the roof.
Minor leaks can be easily ignored until they worsen over time, leading to interior water damage, mold growth, and structural damage. Note that frequent leaks even after repeated repairs are a sign that your roof has reached the end of it’s service life.
Over time, weather-related expansion and contraction of roofing membranes can lead to open seams, bubbling, blistering, surface cracks, and membrane lift. If these issues are extensive, you may want to replace your roofing membrane before water intrusion leads to insulation and roof deck damage.
At Watertite Roofing, we first conduct a thorough roof assessment to determine whether the existing damage can be repaired or if replacing the entire roof is the best option. We pay attention to the age of your roof, current roofing goals, and other factors. If you’re not sure when to replace your commercial or residential flat roof, schedule a consultation today.
The average cost of different flat roofing services in Fort Erie ranges between $5 and $17 per square foot. The exact cost of installing, repairing, or replacing your commercial flat roof is majorly dependent on the specific materials needed, the size and nature of your roof, the cost of labour, and other cost considerations, like permits.
The type and quality of the flat roofing materials you choose will determine the total cost of materials. Other factors that will affect the total cost of your flat roof project include the cost of permit applications and the removal and disposal of the existing roof. If you plan to repair your roof or replace it, request a free quote. We’ll provide a detailed project cost and timeline estimate after an on-site assessment.

Learn moreWhen it comes to flat roofing, many people think it’s just about the surface. However, a well-installed flat roof requires a more comprehensive approach – one that considers the entire roof envelope. This includes all the interconnected components that work together to protect the building from the elements, such as weather, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. Recently, we had the opportunity to apply this expertise to a well-known local business – a McDonald’s restaurant.
