Flat Roof Maintenance in Hamilton
Hamilton’s unique climate can be punishing for commercial flat roofs. Whether it’s the hot, humid summers, the freezing winters, the heavy rain and snow, or the intense winds, your roof can suffer major wear and tear. Without regular inspections and preventive maintenance, issues such as leaks, pooling water, and structural damage can arise, leading to costly repairs.
Our proactive commercial flat roof maintenance services for Hamilton businesses help address these concerns before they become major problems. By partnering with Stybek Roofing, you can extend the lifespan of your roof, protect your assets, and keep your manufacturer warranties intact.

What to Expect from a Stybek Commercial Roof Maintenance Plan
Our services include thorough inspections to identify any signs of premature wear and tear from weather or foot traffic, resealing areas like drains, cones, and pitch pans as needed, and ensuring drains are cleaned and functioning properly.
- Drainage system maintenance and cleaning: Before a roof can be properly inspected, we need to remove minor debris. We’ll clear clogged drains, gutters, and downspouts to prevent water from pooling.
- Scheduled inspections: Stybek roofing experts will perform routine inspections to detect leaks, deterioration, and debris accumulation. We recommend spring or fall for an annual check, as winter freeze-thaw cycles can worsen cracks and gaps in the roof.
- Minor repairs: We’ll track down and fix small leaks, seam separations, or damaged fasteners before they worsen.
- Coating and sealant checks: Our thorough inspections ensure protective coatings remain intact to prevent corrosion or UV damage.
- Fastener and seam maintenance: We’ll tighten or replace loose fasteners and sealing seams to prevent leaks.
- Documentation and reporting: We provide detailed reports on the condition of your roof and list recommended actions.
- Warranty protection: We’ll tailor your maintenance plan to follow manufacturer guidelines, keeping the roof under warranty and ensure compliance.

Understanding Your Roof Warranty: What’s Covered and What’s Not
You can’t protect your investment without knowing the details of your roof warranty. Many property owners assume that roof warranties cover all issues, but this isn’t always the case. Once you know what’s covered and what isn’t, you can ensure proper maintenance and compliance with warranty requirements, keeping your roof protected for years to come.
What your commercial roof warranty usually covers
- Material defects: If faulty or inferior roofing materials lead to issues, the repairs are likely covered.
- Installation and workmanship: Your warranty will protect you against roofing problems caused by improper installation or maintenance.
- Peace of mind for years: Most warranties last between 5 to 30 years, providing long-term coverage.
What's likely not protected by your roof warranty
- Routine maintenance: Warranties do not cover regular maintenance or issues caused by neglect.
- Unauthorized modifications: Any changes or repairs made without prior approval can void your coverage.
- Severe weather damage: The effects of extreme weather events like wind, hail, or snowstorms are usually excluded.
- Interior damage from leaks: Commercial roof warranties typically don’t cover damage to the inside of your building or its contents.
- Normal wear and tear: Deterioration to the roof due to age is common, expected, and generally not covered by warranties.
We Service Most Types of Roofing Systems
The Stybek team has a wealth of experience with the following systems and the issues you can encounter with them.
- Single-Ply Roofing (TPO, PVC, EPDM): Single-ply roofs commonly encounter seam failure from shrinkage or poor installation, attachment failure due to wind uplift, and blisters caused by trapped moisture. As the membrane ages, shrinkage can stress flashings and cause cracks. Our maintenance plan can help remedy these problems early, preventing further damage and costly repairs.
- Two-Ply Modified Bitumen Roofing: Modified bitumen roofs combine features of built-up and single-ply roofing systems, offering durability but also facing common issues over time. Seam defects can occur due to expansion, poor installation, or stress, leading to gaps and potential leaks. The membrane is prone to punctures from foot traffic, tools, or mechanical vibrations. Moisture trapped beneath the surface can also cause blisters, requiring repairs to prevent further damage. A maintenance plan from Stybek helps catch these issues early, reducing the risk of costly repairs.
- Built-Up Roofing (BUR): Built-up roofs use multiple layers for waterproofing and protection but can develop issues over time. Alligatoring occurs when the asphalt shrinks and cracks, leading to splits if left unchecked. Blisters form when moisture gets trapped under the membrane, creating soft bubbles that can break under foot traffic. Ridges result from thermal expansion or insulation separation, causing stress that may tear the roofing material.
- Metal Roofing: Commercial metal roofing systems need specialized maintenance to prevent corrosion and leaks. Corrosion occurs when protective coatings are damaged, exposing the metal to moisture and pollutants. Failed fasteners can loosen due to corrosion, vibrations, or fatigue, increasing the risk of wind lifting the panels. Failed seams may separate, allowing water infiltration and making panels more vulnerable to wind damage. Regular care under a Stybek maintenance plan helps identify and fix these issues before they lead to costly repairs.

Commercial Roof Maintenance FAQ
How do I clean my commercial roof?
Pressure wash your roof on low pressure with a soft-bristle brush to remove algae and moss from the surface of your roof. If you have a white TPO, PVC or EPDM roof, be sure to clean the dark spots, as debris and/or standing water may be the cause.
How long is a commercial roof warranty?
Roofing Manufacturers can offer warranties anywhere from 5 to 30 years, though the average duration is 20 years.
What maintenance does a flat roof need?
Clearing debris and maintaining a clean flat roof is vital to prevent drain clogging and water accumulation, the main culprits behind leaks and structural damage. Regularly remove leaves, branches, dirt, and other debris from the roof surface. Keep the roof drains and gutters clean and free from obstructions.
How do I care for my commercial flat roof?
The flat roof or waterproofing system must be maintained free of debris to help avoid damage. When necessary, use a broom or a standard water hose at low pressure to remove dirt and debris from the surface of the system.
