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. Schenevus Roofing & Maintenance installs and repairs TPO, PVC, EPDM, and modified bitumen flat roofing systems throughout Schenevus.
TPO is our most-installed flat roof membrane. White reflective surface reduces cooling costs, hot-air welded seams create a watertight bond stronger than the membrane itself, and manufacturer warranties run 15-20 years. We install 60-mil and 80-mil TPO, fully adhered or mechanically attached over polyiso insulation.
Our Flat Roofing Process
Flat Roof Inspection
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.
System Recommendation
We present options, not ultimatums. If a repair extends your flat roof 5-10 years, that might be the smartest investment right now. If the insulation is waterlogged and the membrane is failing, replacement is the answer. We lay out the facts.
Professional Installation
Insulation board cut and installed with staggered joints. Membrane installed over insulation per manufacturer specs. All penetrations (pipes, vents, HVAC curbs) receive custom-fabricated flashing. Drains and scuppers cleared and properly connected to the new membrane system.
Completion & Warranty
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.

Why Choose Schenevus Roofing & Maintenance for Flat Roofing?
Core Sampling & Testing
Before recommending replacement or coating, we core sample the roof to check insulation moisture. Waterlogged insulation means tear-off. Dry insulation means options.
Maintenance Programs
Semi-annual flat roof inspections keep your warranty valid and catch problems early. Drain clearing, seam checks, and flashing inspection, all documented.
Electronic Leak Detection
We use electronic testing to pinpoint flat roof leaks without destructive investigation. Find the source, fix the source, move on.
All Flat Roof Systems
TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen, built-up roofing, and coatings. We install the right system for your building, not whatever we have on the truck.
