Flat roofs don't drain like sloped roofs. Water sits instead of running off. That fundamental difference means flat roofing requires specialized materials, installation methods, and drainage solutions. Schwertner Roofing & Maintenance installs and repairs TPO, PVC, EPDM, and modified bitumen flat roofing systems throughout Schwertner.
PVC membrane is the only flat roofing material that resists animal fats and chemical exposure from rooftop grease exhaust. If you own a restaurant or commercial kitchen in Schwertner, PVC is the right choice. TPO and EPDM will deteriorate when exposed to kitchen grease venting.
Our Flat Roofing Process
Membrane Assessment
Our inspector checks every detail: ponding areas, seam separations, flashing failures, clogged drains, UV degradation, and blistering. Core samples test insulation moisture content. You get photos and an honest assessment.
Detailed Proposal
Based on inspection findings, we recommend the right solution: targeted repair, a coating system, or full replacement. Each option is priced with material specs, warranty terms, and expected lifespan.
Expert Flat Roof Crew
Flat roof installation requires specialized equipment and training. Our crew uses calibrated hot-air welders for TPO and PVC, torching equipment for modified bitumen, and proper adhesive systems for EPDM. Every seam, flashing, and penetration detail gets individual attention.
Warranty & Drainage Test
After installation, we verify drainage by checking water flow to all drain points. No ponding. Every seam tested. Manufacturer warranty registered, 15-20 year coverage depending on system and build-up.
