Flat roof systems are a popular roofing option for commercial buildings. They have architectural appeal, and they can be less expensive to install than roof systems with steeper slopes. They also take up less building volume than other roofs, which means smaller energy costs and more space for appliances like HVAC units.

Another helpful tidbit: flat roofs actually aren’t “flat”, but have slight slopes to allow for proper water drainage. Because they do not have the steeper configurations of other roofing systems, they look flat in appearance.

Flat Roofs Have Problems, Too

All commercial roofs have problems at some point, and flat roofs are no exception. In fact, flat roofs typically require more maintenance and caretaking than other roofs, because they can be more prone to being damaged.

Some common causes of flat roof problems are:
• Ponding water
• Lasting exposure to the sun’s destructive energy
• Poor contractor workmanship
• Inferior-quality sealing
• Aging (a problem for any commercial roof, of course)

These sources of trouble and others can lead to roof leaks, premature wear, bubbling, cracking, surface erosion, and other issues.
