Professional Flat Roof Repair Services in Myrtle Beach
When your flat roof develops leaks, ponding water, membrane damage, or storm-related issues, Weather Shield Roofing provides expert flat roof repair throughout Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand. Our certified technicians diagnose problems accurately and perform lasting repairs using manufacturer-approved methods and premium materials.
Myrtle Beach flat roofs face unique challenges that accelerate wear and cause damage: intense UV exposure year-round, salt air corrosion within miles of the coast, high humidity that promotes biological growth, and hurricane-force winds that stress membranes and seams. Our repair solutions address these coastal-specific challenges with materials and techniques proven in this demanding environment.
Whether you own a commercial building with a large TPO or EPDM system, a restaurant with a PVC membrane, or a home with a flat roof addition—Weather Shield Roofing has the expertise to repair your roof correctly. We handle everything from minor puncture repairs to extensive membrane restoration, always with honest assessments and transparent pricing.
Common Flat Roof Problems We Repair
Flat roofs face different challenges than sloped roofs. Here are the most common issues we diagnose and repair in Myrtle Beach.
Ponding Water
Standing water that remains 48+ hours after rainfall indicates drainage problems. Ponding accelerates membrane deterioration, adds structural weight, and eventually causes leaks.
Membrane Damage
Punctures, tears, blisters, and cracks in TPO, EPDM, PVC, or modified bitumen membranes allow water infiltration. Coastal UV exposure accelerates membrane breakdown.
Seam Failure
Heat-welded or adhesive seams can separate over time due to thermal cycling, poor installation, or age. Seam failures are the most common source of flat roof leaks.
Flashing Deterioration
Edge flashing, parapet wall flashing, and penetration flashing degrade from salt air exposure, allowing water entry at roof transitions and openings.
Shrinkage & Pulling
EPDM and some single-ply membranes can shrink over time, pulling away from edges, curbs, and penetrations. This creates gaps that allow water infiltration.
Storm & Wind Damage
Hurricane winds can lift, tear, or completely remove flat roof membranes. Flying debris punctures membrane surfaces. Storm damage requires immediate attention.
Signs Your Flat Roof Needs Repair
Don't wait until water is dripping through your ceiling. Watch for these warning signs that indicate your flat roof needs professional attention.

Flat Roof Maintenance to Prevent Future Issues
The best repair is prevention. Follow these maintenance practices to extend your flat roof's life and avoid costly emergency repairs.
Regular Inspections
Schedule professional inspections twice yearly (spring and fall) plus after major storms. Early detection prevents costly repairs.
Keep Drains Clear
Remove debris from drains, scuppers, and gutters regularly. Blocked drainage causes ponding water that damages membranes.
Trim Overhanging Trees
Branches drop leaves, needles, and debris. They also scrape membrane surfaces in wind and can fall during storms.
Address Issues Promptly
Small problems become big problems quickly on flat roofs. Fix minor issues before they cause interior damage.
Limit Roof Traffic
Foot traffic damages membranes. Use designated walkways and limit access to necessary maintenance only.
Document Everything
Keep records of inspections, repairs, and maintenance. This helps with warranty claims and insurance if needed.

Flat Roof Repair FAQs - Myrtle Beach
How much does flat roof repair cost in Myrtle Beach?
Flat roof repair costs vary based on damage extent, roof type, and accessibility. Minor repairs like small puncture patches may be relatively affordable, while extensive seam repairs or large section replacements cost more. Contact us at (843) 877-5539 for a free inspection and detailed estimate specific to your situation.
Can you repair my flat roof or does it need replacement?
Many flat roof problems can be effectively repaired without full replacement. We assess membrane condition, damage extent, roof age, and repair history to make honest recommendations. If repairs would cost more than 30-40% of replacement, or if the membrane is beyond its service life, replacement often makes more sense financially.
Do you offer emergency flat roof repair in Myrtle Beach?
Yes, we provide emergency flat roof repair service for urgent situations like active leaks, storm damage, and structural concerns. Call (843) 877-5539 any time for emergency response. We can often install temporary protection quickly while scheduling permanent repairs.
What flat roof types do you repair?
We repair all flat roofing systems including TPO, EPDM rubber, PVC, Modified Bitumen, and Built-Up Roofing (BUR). Our technicians are trained in manufacturer-approved repair methods for each material type, ensuring proper techniques and compatible materials.
How long do flat roof repairs last?
Properly executed flat roof repairs using quality materials typically last 5-15 years depending on the repair type and roof condition. Patch repairs on sound membranes last longer than repairs on deteriorating roofs. We stand behind our work with written warranties.
Will insurance cover my flat roof repair?
Insurance typically covers flat roof damage from sudden events like storms, fallen trees, and hail. Gradual deterioration or maintenance-related failures usually aren't covered. We document damage thoroughly and work with insurance adjusters regularly to help you receive fair coverage.
How do I know if my flat roof needs repair vs maintenance?
Maintenance addresses wear before problems develop—cleaning drains, recoating surfaces, sealing minor cracks. Repair fixes existing damage—patching punctures, re-welding failed seams, replacing damaged sections. If you have active leaks, visible membrane damage, or water infiltration, you need repair.
Do you repair both commercial and residential flat roofs?
Yes, we repair flat roofs on both commercial buildings and residential properties. Commercial projects include retail centers, warehouses, restaurants, and office buildings. Residential flat roof repairs often involve sunrooms, additions, modern homes, and garage roofs.
