If you live in South Philly, Center City, or Strawberry Mansion, you know that Philadelphia’s flat roofs take a beating year-round. From snow in January to intense spring storms, wear and tear is inevitable. At PR (Philly Roofing LLC), we specialize in flat roof repair, roof leak detection, and emergency roofing services designed to protect what matters most—your home.
Today’s blog, a Project highlight, tells the story of a recent emergency call we received from a homeowner in Kensington. Heavy spring rains had revealed multiple leaks in their flat roof, damaging insulation and causing bubbling on interior walls. We responded that same day with a full inspection and got to work.
Our team removed compromised sections of the old rubber membrane, repaired the damaged substrate, and installed a fresh TPO roofing system with advanced waterproofing layers. The client was relieved—not just by the results, but by how seamless the entire process felt. We stayed on schedule, within budget, and followed OSHA safety guidelines every step of the way.

Why is this relevant to you? Because if you’re in an older rowhome or multi-unit property, small leaks can become major structural issues if ignored. Flat roofs are particularly vulnerable because water tends to sit rather than drain off naturally. Signs like sagging ceiling tiles, indoor drips, or black mold could mean your roof is already compromised.
PR Roofing offers free, no-pressure roof inspections across South Philly, Strawberry Mansion, and surrounding neighborhoods. Whether it’s an emergency leak or routine spring maintenance, we deliver fast, honest, and lasting solutions.
