Iron Triangle roofs take river weather on old flat and shingle decks, so leaks spread fast. We find the entry point, stop the water and plan the permanent repair around your building.
Iron Triangle sits in Luzerne County and takes weather off the Susquehanna River with almost no buffer. Winter brings ice dams and freeze-thaw cycles that open flashing seams. Spring and summer bring fast-moving storms that peel shingles and tear gutters. Fall brings the rain that finds every soft spot before the freeze.

Iron Triangle generates a specific kind of roof call: flat roofs holding water, older shingle roofs losing granules, and flashing that has been patched twice already.
The same jobs go differently from one place to the next. Here is what we plan for.
We trace the leak with a moisture meter and thermal camera, then stop the water with flashing repair, roofing cement or a tarp. The permanent fix gets planned once the roof is dry.
We check the low spots first, then the seams and terminations around them. Membrane gets patched or re-seamed, and drainage is corrected so water stops sitting.
Flashing fails first on most roofs here. We remove the failed metal, install new flashing and ice and water shield, then water-test the repair before we leave.
We scan the roof with a moisture meter and infrared thermal camera to find wet areas that do not show inside yet. Flat roofs get seams, drains and penetrations checked; shingle roofs get flashing and valleys.
Iron Triangle has a specific set of roof problems that come from its building stock, its river exposure and its weather.
Flat roofs are common in Iron Triangle's commercial and industrial buildings, and many were built without enough slope or drainage.
Freeze-thaw cycles open flashing seams and pull counterflashing away from the masonry.
Storms coming off the Susquehanna hit Iron Triangle with little warning.
Heat escaping through the roof melts snow at the ridge, and it refreezes at the eave, forming an ice dam.
Some roof problems can wait for a scheduled visit. Others cannot.
Flat roof membrane repairs on the commercial blocks tend to run higher because they involve opening the roof, replacing wet insulation and re-seaming.

Water was coming through the ceiling of my shop on Market Street at 9 p.m. They answered, tarped the flat roof that night and came back the next morning to fix the seam properly. No drama, no runaround, and they cleaned up after themselves. That is rare around here.

After the wind storm took shingles off our roof on South Main, they were out the same day. They matched the shingles, fixed the flashing around the chimney and even took photos for our insurance file. The ceiling has been dry ever since, through two more storms.

We had a leak on our Iron Street building that two other roofers could not find. These guys brought a thermal camera, found the wet spot under the membrane and fixed it right. They explained what they were doing the whole time. Worth the call.
