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. Rathdrum Roofing & Maintenance installs and repairs TPO, PVC, EPDM, and modified bitumen flat roofing systems throughout Rathdrum.
Modified bitumen is our recommendation for residential flat roofs and high-traffic commercial applications. Two-ply torch-applied SBS system with a granulated cap sheet handles foot traffic, thermal cycling, and ID UV exposure. It's the toughest flat roof membrane for everyday abuse.
Our Flat Roofing Process
Flat Roof Inspection
Before recommending repair, coating, or replacement, we inspect the entire flat roof system. Membrane condition, insulation integrity, and drainage patterns all factor into our recommendation.
Your Options
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.
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.
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.
