EPDM Laps Letting Go
Tape and adhesive at old EPDM laps lose their hold, and water slips under the sheet. Tenants see it as ceiling stains that move around as the water travels along the deck.

Working In Logansport
Logansport Commercial Roofing on Occupied Buildings
Logansport commercial roofing jobs often happen over working stores, offices, and warehouses full of stock. We plan each replacement so only one section is open on any day, and every opening closes watertight by evening.
Tenants get notice of noisy days, entrances stay clear of the tear-off path, and interior protection goes up under any area where the deck is being repaired.
- Tenant notice before noisy work
- One section open per day
- Clear entrances and docks
Roof Conditions
Commercial Roofing Problems Over Logansport Tenants
Occupied buildings in Logansport show roof trouble through ceilings, stock, and tenant calls. These are the conditions behind most of them.
Wall Flashing Pulling Away
Rubber flashing shrinks and lifts off parapet walls, opening a gap along the top. Wind-driven rain gets behind it and runs down inside the wall cavity toward a tenant space.
Slow Drains Over Store Fronts
Clogged strainers and sagging deck near drains hold water above sales floors and offices. A new roof resets the drain bowls and adds tapered insulation to move water off quickly.
Patches Stacked Around Units
Years of patches around rooftop units on a multi-tenant roof show where service traffic wears the membrane. Each new patch buys less time than the one before it.
Soft Spots Over Stock Areas
Wet insulation feels soft underfoot and holds water above storage rooms and stock. Cores confirm the wet areas so those sections come off first in the phasing.
Edges Lifting in Storms
Older membranes loosen at perimeter edges and metal trim, and storms peel them back further. New edge metal and denser fastening at the perimeter close that weak line.

Re-Roofing an Occupied Logansport Building in Four Stages
Each stage keeps the people and stock under the roof in mind, from the first walk to the final flashing.
Stage 1
Inspect Your Roof
We walk the roof, probe laps and flashing, and take cores over stained areas and stock rooms. You get a section map that shows what comes off first and why.
- Cores over stained areas
- Section map with the order
Stage 2
Plan Sections And Tenant Notices
Sections are ordered by wet areas and tenant schedules. Notices go out for noisy tear-off days, and interior protection is set where deck repairs are expected.
- Notices for noisy days
- Order set around tenants
Stage 3
Tear Off And Dry In Each Section
Old membrane and wet insulation come off to the deck, then new insulation and EPDM or TPO go on. Each section ties into the old roof before evening.
- New insulation in each section
- Tie-in before evening
Stage 4
Flash Walls, Drains, And Edges
Parapet walls, drains, and edge metal get new flashing as the last sections close. A final walk with the property manager checks every lap and drain.

Questions
Commercial Roofing Questions From Logansport Property Managers
Can an Aging EPDM Roof in Logansport Be Replaced in Phases?
Yes. A Logansport EPDM replacement can be divided into sections so only part of the roof is open on a given day.
Each section is torn off, dried in with new insulation and membrane, and tied into the old roof watertight before the crew leaves, which keeps tenants, stock, and equipment protected until the whole roof is done.
What Does Commercial Roofing for Logansport Businesses Involve?
It starts with a roof walk and cores, then a written scope naming the system, insulation, membrane thickness, and flashing details. For occupied buildings, the scope also sets the section order, tenant notices, and entrance protection.
The work then runs section by section, and a final walk confirms every lap, drain, and wall flashing.
How Do I Find Logansport Commercial Roofing Near Me?
We cover Logansport from Kokomo and inspect commercial roofs there in person. Call or send a message with the address and what tenants are seeing, and we will set a time to walk the roof, take cores, and write up the options.
What Should a Commercial Roofing Contractor Near Logansport Put in Writing?
A written proposal should name the roof system and membrane thickness, the insulation and cover board, how flashings at walls, curbs, and drains are detailed, how tear-off debris is hauled off, how tenants are protected, and who checks permit needs.
Photos of the problem areas found on the roof walk belong in it too.
Do Tenants Have to Close During the Work?
In most cases tenants stay open. Noisy tear-off days get advance notice, entrances stay clear, and interior protection goes up where deck repairs are planned. Only one section is open at a time, and it closes watertight before evening, so the spaces below stay usable.
