Roof Inspection in DeKalB, IL – Major Ponding & Seam Failure Found
Just wrapped up an inspection in DeKalb and this one is a perfect example of what standing water can do over time.
What we found:
• Significant ponding water across the entire roof
• Membrane deterioration and surface breakdown
• Open seams and separation (active leak points)
• Failing detail work along the ridge/transition
• Areas where water is not draining properly at all
This roof is holding water way longer than it should, and once seams start opening like this, leaks are either already happening or right around the corner.
What this means for the property owner:
If this isn’t addressed soon, you’re looking at:
• Interior damage
• Insulation saturation
• Structural issues over time
• Much higher replacement costs vs fixing it early
The good news: this is exactly what we specialize in. Whether it’s a repair, coating system, or full replacement, we can put together the right solution and extend the life of the roof the right way.
