Licensed Florida Roofing Contractor | EPDM Flat Roofing | Commercial and Residential | Lifespan Up to 30 Years | Free Estimates
Leak Busters Roof Repair installs, repairs, and maintains flat (low-slope) roofs for commercial and residential properties across Florida’s Treasure Coast and Gulf Coast. Flat roofing materials available include TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin), modified bitumen, and EPDM (synthetic rubber). All work is performed by a licensed and insured team.
A flat roof – technically called a low-slope roof – has an incline of fewer than three inches of rise for every horizontal foot. No roof is entirely flat; all flat roofs have a slight slope to allow water drainage.
Flat roofs require a watertight membrane system rather than overlapping shingles or tiles. Leak Busters installs three types of flat roofing membranes: TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin), modified bitumen, and EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer, a synthetic rubber). Each membrane type offers different performance characteristics, lifespans, and costs.
Flat roofs are the standard roofing system for most commercial buildings and are also used on some residential structures. A properly installed and maintained flat roof can protect a property for 20 to 30 years depending on the membrane type selected.
TPO is a single-ply roofing membrane available in various sizes and colors. It has a lifespan of up to 30 years and is known for being cost-effective, energy-efficient, and eco-friendly. TPO membranes are heat-welded at the seams, creating a continuous waterproof surface. TPO is one of the most popular flat roofing choices for commercial properties due to its balance of performance and cost.
Modified bitumen is a durable, low-maintenance flat roofing membrane with a lifespan of up to 20 years. It is available in two types: APP (atactic polypropylene), which uses a synthetic polymer for heat resistance, and SBS (styrene-butadiene-styrene), which uses a rubberized compound for flexibility. Modified bitumen provides excellent waterproofing and is well-suited for properties in climates with significant temperature variation.
EPDM is a synthetic rubber roofing membrane that is lightweight, affordable, and durable, with a lifespan of approximately 30 years. EPDM roofs can be covered with a rooftop deck, protective coating, or paint, making them suitable for multi-function rooftop applications. EPDM is one of the most widely used flat roofing materials for both commercial and residential low-slope roofs.
Flat roofs provide safer and more convenient access for inspections, maintenance, gutter cleaning, and equipment servicing compared to steep-pitched roofs. This reduces the cost and complexity of routine maintenance.
Flat roofs provide usable space for HVAC equipment, solar panel installation, satellite and communications equipment, and in some cases rooftop decks or outdoor areas. This is particularly valuable for commercial properties where ground-level space is limited.
Flat roofs typically have less total surface area than pitched roofs covering the same building footprint. This means installation, reroofing, and repair projects use fewer materials, reducing overall costs. Flat roof membranes are also generally less expensive per square foot than shingles, metal, or tile.
Flat roof membranes (TPO, modified bitumen, and EPDM) provide a continuous watertight surface rather than relying on overlapping individual pieces like shingles or tiles. This eliminates the risk of individual shingles being torn off by wind and reduces the number of potential leak entry points.
Flat roofs provide a clean, modern architectural appearance that is the standard for commercial buildings. The flat profile accommodates rooftop equipment and infrastructure without visible protrusions from the street level.
Lifespan of 20–30 years depending on membrane type
Lower material and installation costs than pitched roofing
Easier and safer access for inspections and maintenance
Usable rooftop space for HVAC, solar panels, decks
Continuous membrane eliminates individual-piece wind loss
Modern commercial architectural aesthetic
Three membrane options (TPO, Modified Bitumen, EPDM)
Requires proper drainage design to prevent water ponding
More vulnerable to wind uplift than steep-pitched roofs
Shorter lifespan than metal (50–70+ years) or clay (up to 100 years)
May require more frequent maintenance in heavy-rain climates
Standing water (ponding) can accelerate membrane deterioration
Insulation must be carefully designed to prevent heat buildup

Silicone Roof Recoating – Meinrad L.
Had a roof leak and I called Leak Busters. I was a bit apprehensive about their name. However, I have to say, I am very impressed and will use them again. They came timely, did the work as promised and even let me pay remotely as we were unable to coordinate a time to meet. I am very satisfied thus far.
