Production Lines
Machines and controls under a fan curb stay dry, and the line keeps running instead of stopping for tarps.

Scottsdale Industrial Roof Repair
Warehouse and plant roofs around the Scottsdale Airpark carry exhaust fans, process vents, and heavy rooftop units. We repair the curbs and flashings that leak around them.

Repair Now Or Plan A New Industrial Roof?
Industrial roofs often stay in service for years with curb and flashing repairs. Damage spread across large sections changes that.
A Repair Covers It When
- Leaks cluster at fan curbs, vents, or units
- Service-path punctures are scattered and small
- Insulation reads dry away from the curbs
- The deck under heavy units is solid
- Membrane seams elsewhere hold tight
Plan Replacement When
- Wet insulation spans whole bays
- Process exhaust has degraded the membrane widely
- Deck rust shows from inside the plant
- Units sit on curbs too short to reflash
- Old patches cover much of the field
What You See On An Industrial Roof, And Why
Industrial roofs fail where equipment and people meet the membrane: curbs, vents, and the paths service techs walk.
What You See
Stains below exhaust fans
Likely Cause
Fan curb flashing cracked by heat and vibration from the fan itself.
What We Do
Rebuild the curb flashing and seal the fan base, scheduled while the fan is shut down.
What You See
Drips near process vents
Likely Cause
Vent collars split around pipes that heat and cool through each shift.
What We Do
Replace the collar and flash it into the membrane with material rated for that vent.
What You See
Leaks under heavy rooftop units
Likely Cause
Curbs settling under unit weight and pulling the flashing apart at the corners.
What We Do
Reflash the curb corners and check the deck under the unit for soft spots.
What You See
Punctures along service routes
Likely Cause
Foot traffic and dropped tools puncturing the membrane between hatches and units.
What We Do
Patch each puncture and lay walkway pads along the routes techs actually use.
What You See
Light leaks around skylights
Likely Cause
Skylight curbs and plastic panels cracked by sun on wide roof spans.
What We Do
Reseal or swap the panel and rebuild the curb flashing, with fall protection set up first.

What A Timely Industrial Roof Repair Keeps Dry
On a plant roof, one leaking curb can reach production below.
Insulation
Boards around a leaking curb stay firm, so the leak stays a curb repair instead of a section replacement.
Steel Deck
Deck panels under heavy units stay free of the rust that weakens their support.
Stored Goods
Pallets and racking in the warehouse stay clear of drips from the roof above.

Call and tell us which line or bay is affected. We plan the repair around fan shutdowns and shift changes.
(623) 310-0118How An Industrial Roof Repair Runs
Planning comes first, because equipment on the roof keeps running while the work happens around it.
Step 1: Inspect Your Roof
We walk the roof with your facility manager, mark exhaust discharge points, and note which fans and vents can be shut down and when.
Step 2: Find The Entry Point
Stains on the plant floor get matched to fan curbs, vents, and unit curbs above. Each suspect curb gets checked for cracked flashing and separated corners.
Step 3: Seal Or Rebuild The Detail
Curbs near intakes get repaired during a shutdown. Materials are staged away from loading docks, and walkway pads go down along service paths.
Step 4: Hose Test And Photo Record
Repaired curbs get water-tested once equipment is back on, and the photo record notes each curb, vent, and pad location for future service visits.

Industrial Roof Repair Questions
How Is Repair Handled Around Equipment And Production?
With a plan agreed first. The Greater Airpark mixes warehousing and light industry, and those roofs carry exhaust fans, process vents, and heavy units. We map exhaust discharge to keep workers clear of fumes, schedule work near intakes during shutdowns, and stage materials away from docks.
Can You Work While The Plant Runs?
Yes, for most of the roof. Only the curbs and vents tied to running equipment wait for a shutdown window. Everything else proceeds during normal operations, with workers kept clear of exhaust paths.
Why Do Walkway Pads Matter?
Foot traffic punctures membranes and dents metal panels. Pads along the routes from the hatch to each unit give service techs a path that protects the roof, and they cost far less than repeated puncture repairs.
Do Exhaust Fumes Damage The Roof?
Some process exhaust does. Grease, solvents, or heat from vents can soften or discolor membrane near the discharge. We note those zones on the inspection and match repair materials to what the vent puts out.
What Access Do You Need?
A roof hatch or ladder location, a staging spot away from docks and traffic, and a contact who knows the equipment schedule. Large repairs may need a lift for materials.
What Records Help Plan An Industrial Roof Repair?
Past repair photos, the roof age and system, equipment drawings that show curb locations, and notes from HVAC service visits. A leak that started right after a service visit often traces to a panel left loose or a puncture beside the unit.
Can Skylights Be Repaired Safely?
Covers or guardrails go up before anyone works near a skylight. Wide industrial spans often have many skylights, and the repair proceeds only after that protection is in place.
