Winters here in Indianapolis can be just as brutal on a roof as our summers are and when you need to build, repair or even replace your roofing system, you want an expert to handle it. White River Roofing is your go-to Indianapolis Roofing Contractors expert. Servicing both commercial and residential customers in Indianapolis for over twenty years, they have seen and fixed every type of roof damage imaginable. Flat roofs are the most common type of commercial roofs that are installed and according to White River Roofing, the most common flat roof problem is ponding water, caused by inadequate drainage. Either the roof was originally built not having enough slope to allow proper water runoff or over time, areas in the roof have begun to sag and create low spots for water to collect in. To fix this, White Water Roofing has had great success using a tapered rigid insulation system.

 

To date, the most common and the most successful commercial roof used by many Indianapolis roofing contractors has been the BUR Roofing System. BUR, or Built Up Roofing, is a flat design that is known as either a capsheet or gravel roof that’s installed using hot asphalt. Since the mid-2000s, coating technology has also advanced to make it possible for cool roof coating systems that can restore and extend the life of existing capsheet roofs. Another way to reduce energy consumption and save money on roof replacement is to use metal roofing. Besides adding an architectural statement, it is lightweight, easy to bend and customize over a special roof design feature and comes in a wide variety of colors.

 

With new environmental and safety regulations, the old BUR design and installation is being replaced with modified bitumen roofing, which is a more elastic asphalt-based system that can be applied as either a hot asphalt or blowtorch version. There is also the new single-ply roofing system that uses hi-tech materials that require special training for the installers. These newer systems also help to extend the lifetime of the roof as well as producing long-term energy savings for the customers.

 

Not every Indianapolis Roofing Contractor will be familiar with all of these new roofing applications and repairs, but we already know of one company that is. Whether it’s a simple leak from a small crack in the roof, or more extensive damage from one of our major area storms, White River Roofing is the professional roofing expert here in Indianapolis. They already have the right solution and the trained and highly experienced installers to do whatever you need done to fix and keep that roof over your head for years to come.
