StormBear repairs leaking flat roofs — open seams, blisters, failed flashing and ponding areas — on homes and two-flats across Chicago and the nearby suburbs. Your next step is to book a free inspection so we can trace the leak on the roof.
Every job includes a written warranty with terms in your estimate; see our insurance claim guide for claim questions.
Pricing for flat-roof repair is given in writing after we see it. The estimate reflects the damaged area, seam and flashing conditions, and any drainage work recommended.
See all roofing pricesFlat-roof repair timing usually depends on the extent of damage, trapped moisture, surface conditions, and weather suitable for the work. A seam repair and a drainage correction may involve different scopes, so the schedule is discussed after inspection.
Not always, but repeated ponding deserves attention because it can expose vulnerable seams and details to prolonged moisture. We look at both the roofing condition and the drainage path instead of assuming a surface patch will solve the cause.
A coating over the visible symptom may leave an open seam, failed flashing, or blocked drain unresolved. Locating the water-entry point first helps define a repair that addresses the actual defect and the surrounding roof condition.
A localized damaged area may be repairable when the surrounding roof remains suitable for repair. Widespread seam deterioration, repeated leaks, or moisture beneath the surface may call for a broader recommendation, which we explain before you decide.
Not automatically. The estimate explains the proposed repair area and whether any drainage work is included or recommended separately, so a patch is not mistaken for a drainage correction.
Snowmelt and repeated freezing can reveal weaknesses around seams and drainage details. Ice or wet surfaces also affect safe access, so inspection and repair planning must account for current conditions rather than treating every visible leak as ready for immediate permanent work.
