A flat roof that ponds water is a flat roof with a problem. Standing water degrades membrane material, compresses insulation, and finds every weak point in the system. Schaghticoke Roofing & Maintenance solves ponding with tapered insulation that creates positive drainage, minimum quarter-inch per foot slope to drains, scuppers, or roof edges.
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
Membrane Assessment
We inspect the membrane surface, seam integrity, flashing condition, penetration seals, drain function, and overall drainage pattern. Core samples reveal whether the existing insulation is dry or waterlogged. Full findings provided in a written report.
Detailed Proposal
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
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.
Final Inspection
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.
