A Major Sign It's Time To Replace Your Flat Roof
Katelyn Lewis • January 10, 2024
Beyond experiencing a leak, how do you know if you need to replace your flat roof?
Flat roofs have a near-zero pitch, and they’re common on sunrooms, additions, and homes in downtown Richmond, like the one pictured here that we captured during a roof assessment.
Sometimes referred to as “roof alligatoring” – love that term 🐊 – cracking on a flat roof occurs as it ages due to the sun’s UV rays drying out the membrane.
In this homeowner’s case, we recommended a full TPO roof replacement after finding extensive cracking all over the flat roof.
