Flat roofs leak in ways pitched roofs don't — and they usually leak where you least expect. Dee's Roofing tracks down flat roof problems and repairs them so water drains off instead of in.
On a flat or low-slope roof, water doesn't run off in seconds — it lingers. That gives it time to find every open seam, blister, crack and loose flashing edge. Porches, sunrooms, garage additions and commercial roofs across the Knoxville area all face the same challenge, especially during long, soaking spring rains. Dee's Roofing provides flat roof repair for homes and businesses, whatever the system on top.
Many flat-roof leaks have been patched before, sometimes several times, with tar or caulk that only hides the problem for a season. We clean the area down to sound material, find out why it failed, and make a proper repair with materials compatible with your existing roof — whether that's EPDM, modified bitumen, rolled roofing or an older built-up system.
As a family-owned, licensed and insured contractor based in Powell, we'll give you an honest look at your flat roof. If a repair will solve it, we'll repair it. If the roof is at the end of its life, we'll tell you that too.
These are the flat roof issues we repair most often around Knoxville.
Low spots and clogged drains that let water sit and work into seams and cracks.
Open laps, splits and cracked surfaces cleaned and repaired with compatible materials.
Trapped moisture lifts the roof surface — we cut out, dry and patch the damaged area.
Failed flashing where the roof meets walls, curbs and edges resealed or replaced.
A flat roof that's been tarred over again and again rarely gets better. Each patch adds weight and seals moisture in, and the real cause — a bad seam, a failed flashing or a drain that can't keep up — is still there waiting for the next storm.
A proper repair addresses that cause. We look at how water moves across your roof, open up the problem area, repair the deck if it's soft, and rebuild the surface and flashing so the fix actually lasts.
For businesses, we know a leak over your inventory, equipment or customers can't wait. We'll get out quickly, give you a straight answer, and get your roof watertight again.
Here's what goes into a flat roof repair from Dee's Roofing.
Surface patches often cover the symptom but not the cause. If the seam, flashing or drainage problem underneath isn't fixed, water will find its way back in. We focus on repairing the cause.
Yes. Water that sits for days speeds up wear, adds weight, and finds small openings. Improving drainage or correcting low spots is often part of a good repair.
We repair EPDM rubber, modified bitumen, rolled roofing and older built-up flat roofs on homes and commercial buildings.
Yes. Low-slope porch, sunroom and garage addition roofs are some of the most common repairs we make, including where they tie into the main roof.
If the roof has widespread blistering, multiple leaks, saturated insulation or soft decking across large areas, replacement usually makes more sense. We'll give you an honest recommendation.
