What We Do For You.
Manufacturing and industrial facilities rely on uninterrupted operations, heavy equipment, and sensitive inventory stored under large flat roofs. When those roofs leak or fail, the cost shows up in downtime, damage, and missed deadlines—not just repair invoices.
ROOF SYSTEMS WE SEE
Many wide-span industrial roofs combine several flat roof systems across different sections of the building. Fischer Roofing can identify each system and recommend options that match how the facility actually operates.
EPDM is a black, rubber‑like sheet used on many commercial flat roofs because it is flexible and durable in extreme temperatures. If your roof looks like a smooth black surface from the parking lot, it is likely EPDM—and Fischer Roofing Co. can find leaks, repair seams and punctures, or replace aging EPDM systems to keep your building dry.
PVC is typically a bright white or light‑gray flat roof membrane with heat‑welded seams that reflects sunlight and resists chemicals, grease, and heavy rooftop traffic. If your roof looks clean and white from above, Fischer Roofing can inspect the PVC, diagnose seam and flashing issues, and recommend repair or replacement options to restore a tight, energy‑efficient roof over your business.
Rock‑ballasted and built‑up roofs look like a flat surface covered in small stones or gravel over black asphalt. They are common on older commercial buildings, and Fischer Roofing Co. can inspect these systems, track down hidden leaks, and recommend the right repair or replacement plan.
Mixed roofs are buildings where additions and expansions created several roof levels and a mix of materials—EPDM, PVC, TPO, tar and gravel, and even metal sections—instead of one simple flat surface. Fischer Roofing Co. identifies each membrane type and transition, then targets those different areas for repair or replacement so the whole roof system works together and stays watertight.
Targeted repairs planned around production windows and safety requirements, so lines stay running whenever possible and critical areas stay protected.
Work is staged in sections, with coordinated access, material staging, and protection for equipment, inventory, and shipping areas so the facility can keep moving.
Recommendations account for foot traffic, rooftop equipment, heat, and drainage challenges—not just what looks good on paper—so the roof fits how your building actually operates.
You receive photos, findings, and clear options you can share with maintenance teams and decision makers to support fast, confident decisions.
Each project includes site-specific safety planning, temporary edge protection where needed, coordination with your maintenance and operations teams, and end-of-day cleanup so docks, lots, and walkways stay usable.
Flat roof questions?
If you manage a manufacturing or industrial facility, a focused roof evaluation is the fastest way to reduce risk and plan repairs or replacements without disrupting production.
SPEAK WITH A ROOFER, NOT A CALL CENTER. GET A CLEAR PLAN.
Flat roof repairs and replacements are closely coordinated with your team to determine the best time for roofing to take place. Coordination starts weeks ahead with your operations team.
It is the responsibility of the tenant or building owner to determine the necessity and to place covers over equipment and inventory during the re-roofing process.
