Flat Roof Repair
Repairs to flat and very low-slope membrane roofs on Philadelphia rowhouses, twins and converted buildings, starting at the drainage path.
The roof types a Philadelphia house actually has
Philadelphia Roofing takes calls for leaks on flat rowhouse roofs, ponding water that will not drain, failed parapet flashing, scuppers and drain seams, slate and pitched shingle on twins and stone houses, tear-offs and wind damage. The call goes to a local roofer, who does the work and holds the credential the city and state require.

Most rowhouse roofs in the city look flat but are built with a gentle slope to a drain, and most of the trouble sits at the edges: the parapet where the roof meets the party wall, the scupper that carries water through the cornice, and the seams where the drain joins the roof. Pitched roofs on the twins of West Philadelphia, Germantown and Mount Airy have a different set of problems, with slate and shingle at the valleys and box gutters.
Storm wind is the sourced weather story. The National Weather Service counted eight tornadoes in Tropical Storm Isaias on 4 August 2020, including two EF2 tornadoes in Philadelphia and Bucks County, and microbursts with gusts of 60 to 70 mph have hit South and West Philadelphia in a single half hour. After a storm like that, the roof is checked before the ceiling is opened.
