Leaks Where Two Roofs Meet
Panel runoff pours onto the flat roof at one wall, and the base flashing there was never sized for that much water.

Flashing the Joint Where Metal Panels Meet Flat Membrane
As a Clinton commercial roofing contractor, we install and replace roofs on Clinton plants and metal buildings, flashing every joint where a panel roof meets a flat one.
Clinton Buildings
Mixed Roofs and Clinton Commercial Roofing
Clinton commercial roofing often covers a metal building bolted onto a low-slope plant. The line where the two roofs meet decides whether the building stays dry.
Panel roofs drain fast onto the flat roof next to them. That runoff lands on one strip of membrane, often at a wall with old flashing and a gutter that overflows in heavy rain.
We treat that joint as its own detail, with a cricket or diverter on the flat side, flashing up the metal wall, and gutters sized for the panel runoff.
- Panel runoff measured before the flat roof is laid out
- New flashing where the metal wall meets membrane
- Crickets that move runoff toward the drains
- Sections planned around plant shifts
Roof Conditions
Commercial Roofing Problems on Clinton Plants
Mixed buildings leak at the seams between systems. These four come up on most Clinton walks.
Hail Bruising Under Membrane
Spring hail can crush the insulation under a flat sheet without a visible hole. Cores show the damage the surface hides.
Loose Screws on the Metal Side
Exposed-fastener panels lose washers over time, and every loose screw on the upper roof sends water onto the lower one.
Process Units on the Flat Roof
Plant equipment sits on the low roof, with curbs that end up too short once new insulation goes down.

Questions
Clinton Commercial Roofing Questions
Coverage
Do you roof industrial buildings in Clinton, Indiana?
We roof industrial and commercial buildings in Clinton, including metal buildings and low-slope plants.
Sections follow your shifts, and rooftop equipment gets flashed into the new system. Call to talk through the building and your timeline.
Weather
Can spring hail damage a TPO or EPDM roof near Clinton?
Big hail can bruise insulation under the sheet, crack aged TPO, and puncture membrane over hard spots.
Ground views miss most of it, so after a storm we walk the roof, check seams and flashings, and cut cores where bruising is suspected.
Local
How do I find Clinton commercial roofing near me?
Call with the building address and whether it has a metal roof, a flat roof, or both.
We set a roof walk that covers each roof and the joint between them.
Hiring
Is there a commercial roofing contractor near Clinton for mixed buildings?
Buildings with metal and membrane roofs get one contractor and one scope for both.
Splitting the job between two trades leaves the joint between roofs without an owner, which is where most leaks start.
Cost
What drives Clinton commercial roofing cost on mixed buildings?
Square footage of each roof and how many layers come off set the base.
Panel replacement, curb raising, crickets at the joint, gutters, and crane time add to it. A free roof walk measures both roofs.
Metal
Should the metal roof be fixed before the flat roof is replaced?
Yes, in most cases, since loose screws upstairs send water onto the new membrane below.
Washers or panels on the metal side get replaced first, then the flat roof and the joint are rebuilt so both finish together.
