Where a slope meets the flat roof
On one Steelton twin, water was getting in right where the coated metal slope met the flat roof. The old membrane at that joint had failed.

Flat roof repair in Steelton.
Fix the spot, not the whole roof.
A lot of Steelton twins and rowhomes have a flat roof out back that ties into a metal or shingle slope. When those leak, it's usually one joint or one bad patch. We find it, show you photo proof and fix it.
Where Steelton flat roofs leak
Most leaks are one spot.
These come from Steelton flat roofs we've inspected and repaired.
Old patches on top of patches
Cracked tar and old patch material hold for a while, then let go. We take the bad patch off and fix the spot right.
Loose or torn edges
Wind gets under a loose edge and tears the membrane back. Caught early, it's a repair.
Chimneys and pipes
Flashing around chimneys and vent pipes dries out and cracks. We re-flash it instead of adding another layer of tar.
How we fix a Steelton flat roof leak
On the Steelton twin above, we pulled the old membrane back at the joint and ran a new strip of membrane across it. We patched a failed spot on the flat roof, then sealed the patch and the whole joint the next day. No new roof needed.

Questions worth answering up front
Flat roof repair questions in Steelton.
How much does a flat roof repair cost in Steelton?
Most repairs we do run $400 to $1,500. Sealing one joint or patching one spot is at the low end. A bigger leak with wet or rotted wood is at the high end. You get a flat price in writing before any work starts.
How do you find where a flat roof is leaking?
We start right above the stain inside and work out from there. On Steelton twins and rowhomes it is usually where a metal or shingle slope meets the flat roof, an old patch, a torn edge, or the flashing around a chimney or pipe.
Does a leak mean I need a new flat roof?
Usually not. Most leaks come from one failed spot. If the whole roof is worn out, with seams opening everywhere or a soft deck, we show you photo proof of every problem and explain your options.
Do you warranty flat roof repairs?
Yes. Repairs come with a 1-year written workmanship warranty. Full flat roof replacements get 10 years.
Do you work on rubber (EPDM) roofs?
Yes. Flat and rubber roofs on row homes, porches and additions are a big part of what we do. RoofHaven is Versico certified.
