Flat Roof

Flat roofing systems are a practical and cost-effective solution for both commercial buildings and modern residential homes. Known for their space-saving design and clean aesthetic, flat roofs are especially popular in urban areas like Coquitlam. At Roofing Coquitlam, we specialize in the installation, repair, and maintenance of durable, high-performance flat roof systems tailored to our region’s rainy, variable climate.

What Is a Flat Roof?

A flat roof is a roofing structure with little to no pitch, typically ranging from 0° to 10°. Though nearly level in appearance, flat roofs are built with a slight slope to allow proper drainage. This design maximizes usable space—making room for rooftop HVAC systems, solar panels, or rooftop decks—and reduces construction and material costs compared to steep-slope roofs.

Types of Flat Roof Systems We Install

Choosing the right flat roofing system depends on your building's needs, budget, and long-term goals. We install a variety of flat roofing materials, including:

  • Modified Bitumen: A multi-layer asphalt-based system reinforced with fiberglass or polyester. It offers excellent waterproofing and UV protection.
  • Torch-On Membrane: A durable, heat-applied membrane ideal for commercial and industrial buildings. Known for its longevity and water resistance.
  • EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer): A synthetic rubber roofing membrane valued for its flexibility, ease of installation, and weather resistance.
  • TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin): A single-ply roofing system that’s energy-efficient, reflective, and resistant to UV and chemical exposure.
  • Built-Up Roofing (BUR): A traditional flat roofing option made from multiple layers of asphalt and felt, offering proven durability.

Our team will assess your property and recommend the best material based on structure type, drainage needs, insulation, and your budget.

Flat Roof Repair & Leak Detection

Because flat roofs don’t shed water as quickly as sloped roofs, they are more prone to ponding, leaks, and drainage issues. We provide expert flat roof repair services to address:

  • Punctures, blisters, and membrane cracks
  • Standing water and poor drainage
  • Seam separation and flashing damage
  • Water intrusion and interior leaks

Our repair specialists use advanced moisture detection tools and industry-approved techniques to locate and resolve problems before they spread further.

Flat Roof Maintenance Programs

Regular maintenance can extend the life of your flat roof system by several years. Our preventive maintenance services include:

  • Seasonal inspections and performance checks
  • Cleaning of drains, scuppers, and gutters
  • Rooftop debris removal
  • Early identification of cracks, punctures, or soft spots
  • Sealing and surface reinforcement

We offer tailored maintenance plans for commercial properties, multi-unit buildings, and residential flat roofs. A small investment in routine care can prevent major repair costs in the future.
