  • My ceiling had water spots so I reached out to Next Gen, and they found the problem with a leakage in the roof connecting to the house. Anthony came and fixed it within 2 hours and was significantly better in price + quality than any of the other people we had looking at it. They will be my go-to for a while, as well as for my friends and family, and Anthony is especially kind!

Where flat roofs leak

Most flat roof leaks start in the same few places. Seams where two sheets of roofing are joined. The edges, where the roof meets a wall or turns down over the side. Anything sticking up through the roof, like pipes, vents and heating or cooling units. And low spots where water sits after every rain, slowly wearing the surface through. Because water spreads out under a flat roof, the leak inside can be a long way from the opening.

Repair or replace a flat roof

A flat roof with a few bad seams or one worn low spot can usually be repaired. A roof that is blistered all over, soaked underneath, or leaking in several places often is not worth patching again. We check how wet the roof is under the surface, and we will tell you honestly whether a repair will hold or whether you would be better off with a new roof.

The inspection and the quote are free

We come out, get on the roof, and tell you what we found and what it would cost to put right. There is no charge for that visit, and you are under no obligation to book the work.

Fixing standing water

Water that sits on a flat roof for days is the main thing that wears it out. Sometimes the fix is as simple as clearing a blocked drain or gutter. Sometimes a low spot needs building up so water can run off. Repairing the leak without fixing the ponding just means another leak in the same place later.

Common questions.

Can you patch a flat roof leak?

Often, yes, as long as the roof around it is still sound. The patch has to be made with the right material for your roof and sealed to it properly.

Is standing water on a flat roof normal?

A little water that dries within a day or two is common. Water that sits longer than that wears the roof out and should be looked at.

How do I know what kind of flat roof I have?

You do not need to. We will identify it during the free roof inspection and repair it with a material that works with it.
