As a Scranton commercial roof repair contractor, we trace leaks on the roof, fix seams, drains, flashing, and panels, and keep repairs tied into dry roofing.
Scranton commercial roof repair usually starts with one of four conditions: hail, a storm leak into occupied space, ice at the edges, or seams worn past patching.
Bruised membrane, split laps, and dented metal show up after a summer storm rolls through the valley.
Punctures and opened seams let water in long before a dent does. We check function against the roof’s earlier condition and write the repair around real defects.
Water drips onto shelves, a sales floor, or a production line during a hard downpour.
Temporary containment protects people and stock first. A lasting repair follows once the entry path is traced on the roof and wet materials are measured.
Meltwater backs up behind ice at gutters, scuppers, and drain bowls in late winter.
Held water reaches seams and flashing that ordinary rain never touches. Drains and edges get checked once footing on the roof is safe.
Brittle membrane at the perimeter, loose edge metal, and patch layers piled on older patches.
Several small entry points add up to repeat calls. Core cuts show whether the insulation is dry enough to keep repairing or whether a section needs replacing.
Most leaks start with a targeted repair. These columns show the roof conditions that move a job toward replacing one section or the whole roof.
Four repair services cover the roofs we see most: low-slope membrane, metal panels, leaks that need tracing, and plant roofs crowded with equipment.
Membrane, built-up, and modified bitumen roofs on Scranton offices, mills, and warehouses. We fix split seams, blisters, and ponded drains, then tie each patch into dry roofing around it.
Where Water Gets In
Exposed-fastener and standing-seam roofs on shops, barns, and storage buildings. Panels get swapped, laps resealed, and every screw near the damage checked for grip.
Where Water Gets In
Leaks whose source is far from the stain. We trace water from the ceiling back across the roof to coping joints, drains, penetrations, or wall connections, then repair the entry.
Where Water Gets In
Plant and warehouse roofs with drains over machinery, exhaust fans, and stacks. Work is staged so roof openings stay clear of active workstations below.
Where Water Gets InMove people and stock away from the drip, note when it started, and call us. Containment comes first, then the source gets traced on the roof.
Each repair follows the same five steps, from the first call about a stain to a marked map of the finished work.
Tell us where water shows up, when it started, and what runs on the roof above it, such as rooftop units or exhaust fans.
Seams, drains, curbs, parapet caps, and penetrations near the stain get checked, because water often travels before it drips.
Small core samples show whether insulation under the membrane is wet and how far the damage reaches across the deck.
New membrane, flashing, or panels tie into firm, dry roofing beyond the defect, sequenced around your building’s hours.
Notes and photos mark what was fixed, any wet areas left in place, and roof details worth watching after the next storm.
Each repair answers a specific failure. These four come up on most roofs in the city, from brick mills to newer warehouses.
Heat, cold, and foot traffic pull membrane laps apart until rain runs under them.
We clean, prime, and weld or adhere new cover strips that tie into firm membrane on both sides.
Debris and a sagging drain bowl hold water where seams and flashing sit wet for days.
Strainers are cleared, the clamping ring is reset, and new target flashing goes around the bowl.
Rooftop units shake and shift, cracking the flashing at their curbs and letting water run down the sides.
Curb flashing is rebuilt to full height, and any leak from the unit itself is flagged for the HVAC trade.
Open coping joints let water drop behind wall flashing on older brick buildings.
Coping caps are reattached and sealed, and wall flashing gets new terminations where it pulled away.
Brick mills, distribution warehouses, retail centers, and plants in these towns are where we repair roofs most. Elsewhere? Call us or send us a message.
Short answers to what owners and facility managers ask first. The full list lives on the FAQ page.
The roof itself sets the price, so we quote after an inspection on the roof. Leak tracing time, the roof system, how many damaged areas there are, and how large each one is all count.
Wet insulation found in core cuts, flashing and drain work, and access to the roof change the total, and they also show whether a section should be replaced.
Hail is judged by function: punctures, opened seams, and loosened flashing. Dents alone tell little about water entry. We compare the roof with its earlier condition and note any wind damage from the same storm. The written scope lists real defects, and insurance coverage still depends on your policy and the cause of loss.
The lease decides it, through its repair, maintenance, and notice terms. We document the defect and the proposed work so owner and tenant can read their obligations against it. Meanwhile, access and protection of the affected rooms still get arranged, because ownership or occupancy alone rarely settles who pays.
Yes. Condensation inside older masonry buildings can wet ceilings much like a leak. We compare the dampness with weather and building use, then check insulation, panel undersides, and roof-to-wall joints. A patch fixes a confirmed roof defect; moisture forming inside the assembly calls for a ventilation or enclosure fix instead.
Replacement comes up when wet materials spread wide or the roof is too deteriorated to hold a dependable repair joint. We compare the repair area against the rest of the assembly before widening the scope, so the decision rests on what the roof shows today and the size of the latest stain plays no part.
Tell us where the water shows up and what sits on the roof above it. We inspect first, then quote the repair.
