In the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), the lifespan of a flat roof depends on the materials used, installation quality, and maintenance practices. High-quality materials like EPDM, TPO, and modified bitumen, when installed professionally and maintained regularly, can last between 20 to 30 years or more. PVC and TPO membranes are particularly durable, often exceeding 30 years with proper care.
Alps Roofing ensures that every flat roof we install in the GTA is designed to withstand local weather conditions, including heavy snow and temperature fluctuations. Regular inspections and timely repairs are crucial to extending your roof's lifespan. Our team offers comprehensive maintenance services to help you maximize the longevity of your investment.
Despite their name, flat roofs are designed with a slight slope to facilitate water drainage. In the GTA, where heavy rain and snow are common, proper drainage is essential to prevent water pooling and structural damage. Drainage systems like scuppers, internal drains, and tapered insulation are commonly used to direct water off the roof efficiently.
Alps Roofing designs and installs customized drainage solutions tailored to each building's needs. We ensure that your flat roof has the appropriate slope and drainage components to handle the region's precipitation levels, minimizing the risk of leaks and prolonging the roof's lifespan.
Flat roof leaks in the GTA are often caused by factors such as poor installation, aging materials, membrane damage, and inadequate drainage. Weather extremes, like heavy snow and ice, can exacerbate these issues. Additionally, blocked drains and deteriorated sealants around vents and HVAC units can lead to water infiltration.
At Alps Roofing, we emphasize the importance of proper installation and regular maintenance to prevent leaks. Our experienced professionals conduct thorough inspections to identify potential problem areas and provide effective solutions, ensuring your flat roof remains watertight and secure.

Flat roofs are generally more cost-effective to install than sloped roofs, primarily due to simpler designs and fewer materials required. In the GTA, the average cost for flat roof installation ranges from $4 to $13 per square foot, depending on the materials and complexity of the project.
