Dempsey Commercial Roofing | Roofing Services in Lakeland, FL 33811

In Lakeland, our intense summer storms funnel massive amounts of water through roof valleys, which are the most vulnerable points for leaks. Wear, debris, or improper installation can cause failure. At Dempsey Commercial Roofing, we fix valley leaks by first conducting a thorough inspection to find the exact source. Our repair process involves clearing debris, replacing damaged or corroded flashing with high-quality materials, and applying specialized sealants or membranes designed for our local weather. We ensure the valley is properly sealed and reinforced to handle future downpours, protecting your building's interior.

Gutter overflow in Lakeland is often caused by our heavy leaf fall from live oaks and pines, combined with torrential rain that overwhelms undersized systems. As commercial roofing experts, we prevent overflow by assessing your entire drainage system. We recommend and install larger-capacity gutters and downspouts, add critical leaf guards to minimize clogs, and ensure proper pitch and placement for optimal water flow. Regular maintenance as part of a service plan is key to keeping your gutters clear and functional year-round, safeguarding your roof's edges and foundation from water damage.

For Lakeland's mix of intense sun, high humidity, and heavy rain, you need a roof built for durability and water resistance. Look for materials with high UV reflectance and waterproofing integrity, like TPO or PVC membranes, or properly installed modified bitumen systems. Crucially, the installation must include reinforced details at valleys, penetrations, and edges—the common failure points we see locally. At Dempsey, we design and install commercial roofs with these local stressors in mind, focusing on seamless integration, robust flashings, and adequate slope to prevent ponding water, which is a primary cause of leaks and deterioration here.
