Flat Roof Repair in Downtown Rialto: what actually fails

Downtown Rialto is a mixed historic core, so a flat roof here may be an older shop building or a porch or addition tied into an old house. Where a low-slope section meets a pitched roof or a parapet is where it leaks, and that junction is the job.

The city's oldest ground: the townsite was laid out in 1887, and the streets around it filled in during the 1950 to 1956 building boom.

  • Old boards and framing read from the attic
  • Flat sections where they meet pitched roofs
  • Matching materials on older houses
  • Old patches found and counted

03Sequence

From first call to finished

In the rain we stop the water; the repair is made dry, with a written quote before any work.

01

Tell us what you are seeing

The address, where the water is showing, how fast it is coming, and whether it is raining now.

02

A stopgap if it is wet

On a wet day the water is stopped and nothing more: a tarp or a temporary seal, photographed and written down as temporary, quoted on its own.

03

The trace on a dry day

Once the roof is dry, the stain is followed back from the attic to where the water got in, and the repair is quoted in writing with anything that can wait marked as such.

04

The repair, then the walkaround

The stopgap comes off, the failed detail is fixed and closed, and photographs are taken before and after.

04Before we arrive

What to do before anybody climbs a ladder

  1. Catch the water and protect what is under itA bucket under the drip, belongings moved or covered with plastic. Keep clear of wet ceilings near a light fixture, and switch that circuit off if you safely can.
  2. Stay off the roofWet shingles are slick, wet tile breaks underfoot, and nothing made on a wet roof lasts. The stopgap goes on when it can be done safely; the repair waits for dry weather.

Note 01Where do flat roofs leak most?

At the edges: seams, the turn-up where the membrane meets a wall or parapet, around pipes and vents, and beside drains where water sits. The middle of the membrane is rarely the problem.

Note 02What is the best way to repair a flat roof?

Find the failure first, then repair that detail with the same membrane system on a dry surface, finished mechanically at walls rather than sealed. Patching the middle of a roof that fails at its edges fixes nothing.

Note 03Why does my flat roof leak only in heavy rain?

Because heavy rain is when it ponds. Water that cannot reach the drain fast enough rises over a seam or a low turn-up that stays dry in light rain. Clearing the drain is the stopgap; the seam is the repair.
