Roof Repair Smedway's Flat Roof Repair crews are trained on TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen systems across Lansing, not general shingle work applied to a flat surface.
A flat roof leak rarely shows up directly above where the water actually entered — membrane systems move water laterally before it drips through.
We also test repaired seams for a proper bond before leaving, rather than assuming a visual check is enough.
Every Flat Roof Repair technician carries current Lansing, MI licensing for commercial roofing work.
We coordinate timing to reduce impact on tenants or foot traffic wherever possible.
Written Flat Roof Repair estimates cover membrane type, repair scope, and labor upfront.
Hot-air welders and seam probes come standard for TPO and EPDM Flat Roof Repair work.
Most Lansing flat roof issues combine two or three of these elements, which is why a full inspection matters.
TPO seam separation gets properly heat-welded, not just caulked over as a temporary fix.
EPDM punctures and seam failures are patched with compatible materials, not a mismatched quick fix.
Standing water that doesn't drain within 48 hours accelerates membrane breakdown and needs a drainage fix, not just a patch.
We assess whether a modified bitumen repair needs a patch or a full section replacement.
Clogged or damaged drains are a leading cause of Lansing flat roof ponding and membrane stress.
Rooftop HVAC units and their curbs are a frequent source of Lansing commercial roof leaks that general roofers often overlook.
We start by discussing the issue — ponding, active leak, or visible membrane damage.
