Ponding water repair is what we do when water sits on a flat roof long after the rain stops. The usual industry test is 48 hours. If water is still standing two days after a storm on your building in San Antonio, TX, that area is taking a beating.

Standing water adds weight, feeds algae, attracts debris and works into any small defect in the membrane. It also shortens the life of most coatings, though silicone handles it better than acrylic.

The fix depends on the cause. Sometimes a drain or scupper is clogged or set too high. Sometimes the deck has sagged or insulation has crushed. We might clear and reset drains, add crickets and tapered insulation, fill low spots with a leveling compound, or build slope with spray foam.

We look at the whole drainage path, from the high point of the roof to the downspout, before recommending anything. Ponding water repair in San Antonio, TX is often done right before a silicone roof coating so the new coating starts life on a roof that drains. Call (833) 441-4944 and we will come map the low spots.

Commercial Roof Coating FAQs

Questions about commercial roof coating and silicone roof restoration

Questions we hear about Ponding Water Repair in San Antonio, TX.

Call our crew
Silicone or acrylic: which is better?
Silicone handles ponding water and UV well and is the usual pick for flat roofs. Acrylic is economical and works well on metal and roofs with good slope, but it does not like standing water. Silicone can only be recoated with silicone, so that matters for long-term planning.
Does a white roof coating lower cooling costs?
A reflective coating lowers the roof surface temperature, which reduces heat moving into the building. How much that shows up on your bill depends on insulation, HVAC and how the building is used, so we do not quote a savings figure.
Can a roof coating be expensed instead of capitalized?
In many cases a restoration coating is treated as maintenance rather than a capital improvement, which can change how it is handled for taxes. That is a question for your accountant, and we can give them the scope of work and product data they need.
Can you coat a roof that holds water?
Silicone tolerates ponding water better than other coatings, but water that sits for more than 48 hours should be dealt with. We can reset drains, add crickets or build slope before coating.
What roof types can be coated?
We coat metal, TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen, built-up roofs and spray foam. Each needs its own cleaning and primer steps, and we run an adhesion test on your roof before committing.
