Why Waterproofing Matters For Commercial Roofs
Constant exposure to rain, UV rays, temperature swings, and standing water slowly breaks down roof membranes and fasteners, causing leaks, energy loss, and costly structural damage. A high-performance commercial roof waterproofing system forms a seamless barrier that locks out moisture, prevents rust and corrosion, and stabilizes rooftop temperatures throughout the year. These systems not only extend your roof’s lifespan but also reduce energy costs by reflecting sunlight and improving overall building efficiency.
For industrial and commercial facilities, roof waterproofing coatings provide a smarter and more sustainable alternative to full roof replacements. Rather than removing the existing membrane, RTG Solutions restores it with advanced silicone, acrylic, and polyurethane waterproofing products engineered for Pennsylvania’s demanding weather conditions. Our coatings seal seams, fasteners, and penetrations, preventing leaks while maintaining warranty compliance with leading roof manufacturers. Each application is custom-designed for your specific roof type, slope, and operational needs, ensuring long-term reliability, performance, and measurable ROI through reduced repair costs and downtime.

Silicone Waterproofing Systems
Silicone waterproofing coatings deliver exceptional protection against ponding water and UV degradation. Designed for long-term flexibility, these systems maintain adhesion even under harsh Pennsylvania weather, preventing cracking and deterioration. Ideal for flat or low-slope roofs, they create a watertight, reflective barrier that reduces energy costs and extends roof life.
Acrylic Waterproofing Systems
Acrylic coatings provide a durable and highly reflective finish that resists weathering and thermal movement. They’re a cost-effective option for facilities needing sustainable protection and lower cooling costs. With proper maintenance, acrylic waterproofing can add years of performance to aging commercial roofs while maintaining a clean, professional appearance.
Membrane Reinforcement & Restoration
For aging EPDM, TPO, or PVC roofs, reinforced waterproofing membranes restore strength and flexibility without full replacement. These systems seal seams, flashings, and penetrations to prevent leaks while maintaining manufacturer warranty compliance. RTG Solutions customizes each application to match your existing roof type and operational requirements.
Metal Roof Sealant Systems
Metal roofs require specialized waterproofing to prevent leaks caused by expansion, contraction, and rusting seams. RTG Solutions applies elastomeric sealants and coatings engineered to protect fasteners and flashing while maintaining a seamless, watertight surface. These systems preserve aesthetics, reduce corrosion, and extend the lifespan of metal roofing assemblies.

Extended Roof Lifespan
Professional waterproofing coatings shield your roof from UV degradation, thermal expansion, and moisture penetration, three of the main causes of premature roof failure. By sealing seams, flashings, and fasteners, RTG Solutions helps building owners add years of service life to their existing roof systems while avoiding costly tear-offs or replacements.
Leak Prevention and Structural Protection
A seamless waterproof barrier prevents water infiltration that can lead to interior leaks, mold, and structural deterioration. Our silicone, acrylic, and polyurethane systems are engineered to perform under extreme weather conditions, providing reliable leak prevention for Pennsylvania’s commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities.
Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings
Reflective waterproof coatings reduce rooftop heat absorption, lowering indoor cooling demands and energy bills throughout the year. By minimizing heat transfer and preventing water damage, waterproofing systems deliver measurable ROI, helping facilities cut maintenance costs and improve building performance simultaneously.
Sustainable and Low-Disruption Solution
Unlike full roof replacements, waterproofing projects can often be completed with minimal noise, waste, or business interruption. RTG’s restoration-focused approach extends roof performance while conserving materials, reducing landfill waste, and supporting your organization’s sustainability goals.

Commercial Roof Waterproofing FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Commercial roof waterproofing involves applying a high-performance coating over your existing roof membrane to prevent leaks and structural damage. These systems (typically silicone, acrylic, or polyurethane) form a seamless, watertight barrier that blocks UV rays, moisture, and chemical exposure. Rather than tearing off your roof, RTG Solutions restores its integrity by sealing seams, flashings, and penetrations, providing years of leak-free protection while extending roof lifespan.
Most low-slope and flat commercial roofing systems can be waterproofed, including EPDM, TPO, PVC, modified bitumen, and metal roofs. Each surface requires a specific primer and coating type to ensure maximum adhesion and performance. RTG Solutions evaluates your existing membrane and slope conditions before selecting the right waterproofing system, guaranteeing compatibility, warranty compliance, and lasting durability.
A professionally installed roof waterproofing system typically lasts at least 10 years, depending on the coating material, thickness, and environmental exposure. Reflective silicone coatings tend to perform best in high-UV environments, while acrylic and polyurethane options provide strong resistance against ponding water and freeze–thaw cycles. RTG Solutions ensures proper preparation and application, which are the key factors that determine real-world longevity.
Yes! Roof waterproofing is one of the most cost-effective roofing solutions available. Instead of removing the existing membrane, which is labor-intensive and expensive, RTG Solutions restores it with a seamless coating that costs a fraction of full replacement. In addition to upfront savings, waterproofing minimizes future maintenance costs, improves energy efficiency, and keeps your warranty active, offering excellent long-term ROI for commercial facilities.
Absolutely! Many modern waterproof coatings include high solar reflectivity that reduces rooftop heat absorption and lowers indoor cooling demands. By reflecting UV rays and stabilizing roof temperature, a professional done waterproofing system can reduce energy costs by 10–40% annually. This makes them an environmentally friendly, ENERGY STAR–compliant solution for building owners seeking both sustainability and financial performance.
Early signs include standing water, surface cracks, deteriorated seams, or visible rust on metal roof panels. You may also notice leaks after heavy rainfall, rising energy bills from heat loss, or interior water stains near ceilings and walls. Over time, UV exposure and thermal expansion can cause coatings and membranes to degrade, leaving your roof vulnerable to water intrusion. Regular inspections can catch these issues before they become costly repairs. If your facility has not been treated with a roof waterproofing coating in the last five to seven years, or you’re scheduling frequent leak repairs, it’s time to consider a professional waterproofing system from RTG Solutions to restore full protection and extend the roof’s service life.
