Flat and Low-Slope Systems That Drain

Commercial roofing for offices, retail buildings, and warehouses in Draper, Utah

Your commercial building in Draper deals with ponding water after storms, UV exposure that degrades membrane surfaces, and foot traffic from HVAC techs who walk the roof every season. When drainage slows or seams start to separate, you end up with leaks over tenant spaces or inventory storage areas. Rad Roofing, L.L.C. installs and repairs commercial roofing systems designed to move water off flat and low-slope roofs, using materials that hold up under Utah weather and the weight of rooftop equipment.

This service covers offices, retail buildings, warehouses, and mixed-use properties throughout Draper and Utah County. The process includes evaluating existing drainage, selecting membranes or coatings that meet building code, and scheduling work to minimize disruption to tenants and daily operations. You get a roof that performs over the long term without constant patching or emergency calls.

How the System Handles Water and Weather

Commercial roofing in Draper starts with inspecting roof slope, drain placement, and membrane condition to understand where water collects and how fast it moves. The crew removes damaged layers, rebuilds sections of insulation or decking that have soaked through, and installs a new membrane system using heat welding or adhesive methods depending on the building type. You also get updated flashing around HVAC units, vents, and parapet walls where leaks often begin.

After installation, you will notice water draining within hours of a storm instead of sitting in low spots for days, and your ceiling tiles stay dry even during heavy snow melt. The roof surface becomes easier to inspect and maintain because seams are sealed and the membrane lies flat.

The work includes coordinating with property managers or tenants to protect interior spaces during tear-off and limit noise during business hours. Cleanup involves hauling old roofing material off-site and clearing debris from gutters and drains. This service does not include structural repairs to load-bearing walls or beams, but the crew will flag issues that need attention before the new roof goes on.

What Property Managers Usually Want to Know

Building owners and property managers typically ask about project timelines, how to avoid tenant complaints, and whether a coating or overlay can extend the life of an aging roof instead of replacing it entirely. These details help you budget, plan around lease renewals, and keep operations running smoothly.

What commercial roofing systems work in Utah?
TPO and EPDM membranes are common for flat roofs in Utah because they handle temperature swings and UV exposure without cracking. Modified bitumen works well for buildings that need a thicker, more impact-resistant surface.
How long does a commercial roof installation take?
Small retail buildings may take a week, while larger warehouses or multi-tenant properties can take two to four weeks depending on roof size, access, and weather. The crew schedules noisy work outside business hours when possible.
When should I replace versus repair a commercial roof?
If the membrane is punctured in isolated spots and the insulation underneath is dry, targeted repairs usually work. If water has soaked into insulation layers or the roof is more than twenty years old with widespread cracking, replacement prevents ongoing leaks and energy loss.
What happens to tenants during installation?
You notify tenants of start dates, noise expectations, and any temporary restrictions on roof access or parking. The crew covers sensitive areas with tarps and works in phases to avoid shutting down entire sections of the building at once.
How do I know the roof will meet code?
Rad Roofing follows Utah commercial building standards for insulation R-value, fire rating, and wind uplift resistance, and coordinates inspections with local officials. You receive documentation that confirms compliance for your records and future property transactions.
