Send photos and a few details for a written quote. ## Flat roof services in Welland Much of Welland's housing is older, and older houses often have flat roofs over rear additions, porches and garages. Typical signs are a stain on the kitchen ceiling, water at a skylight or a roof with several worn layers. We find where the water gets in, fix that spot and tell you how much life the rest of the roof has. When a roof is past repair, we [replace it](https://flat-roof-repair.ca/services/flat-roof-replacement/) with EPDM, TPO, PVC or modified bitumen, and fix the [drainage](https://flat-roof-repair.ca/services/roof-drains-and-scuppers/) so water does not sit on the new membrane. Owners and property managers also book [inspections](https://flat-roof-repair.ca/services/flat-roof-inspection/) and [maintenance visits](https://flat-roof-repair.ca/services/flat-roof-maintenance/). ## Company towns and canal-side industry in Welland Welland grew where the first Welland Canal crossed the river, and the village was incorporated in 1858. Plymouth Cordage opened its Canadian plant in 1904, and Atlas Steel became a major steel plant. Union Carbide, a cotton mill and three drop forges were also early employers. Company-built neighbourhoods such as the Plymouth Cordage Heritage District and Dain City housed workers. The Welland By-Pass, built from 1967 to 1973, moved the canal out of downtown. Census data show about 66% of homes were built before 1981 and 36% before 1961. In the downtown core, around Civic Square, and in older east and west side streets you find brick houses and storefronts of the early industrial era, often with flat roofs over rear additions. Crowland and Dain City, a company town built around the Dain Manufacturing Company, have their own older streets. Hunters Pointe, near the By-Pass, is newer. Along the canal and old industrial sites, the legacy of steel, forging and pipe plants means large low-slope industrial roofs of several different ages. ## Welland weather and your flat roof Ontario's Building Code sets the climate values used to design roofs in each municipality.

Prices in Welland depend on access, layers to remove and the membrane. See [pricing](https://flat-roof-repair.ca/pricing/). **Why does my flat roof in Welland leak in late winter?** Melting snow refreezes at drains and edges overnight, then backs up under seams and flashings during the day. See [ice and snow damage](https://flat-roof-repair.ca/problems/ice-and-snow-damage/). **Do I need a permit to replace a flat roof in Welland?** Check with the Welland building department. Replacing the membrane alone is often treated differently from structural work, a new rooftop deck or added weight. See [re-roofing permits in Ontario](https://flat-roof-repair.ca/guides/re-roofing-permits-ontario/). **My Welland house is older. Can the flat roof go on over the old one?** Sometimes one new layer can go over one old layer, but on older houses we often find two or three layers already, wet insulation or soft deck boards. Then a full tear-off is the safer choice. See [repair or replace](https://flat-roof-repair.ca/guides/repair-or-replace-flat-roof/). **Do you also work near Welland?** Yes, including Niagara Falls, St. Catharines, Hamilton and the rest of Hamilton and Niagara.
