A leak in a commercial roof can disrupt operations, threaten inventory, and damage your building envelope - especially during Nebraska’s wild weather swings.
Here’s a practical plan to control the situation fast and set your facility up for a long-term fix.
Protect People and Property
- Secure the area. Keep staff and customers away from slippery floors and any ceiling panels at risk of collapse.
- Catch and contain. Place buckets and tarps to channel water and protect equipment, shelving, and flooring.
- Shut down at-risk systems. Power down or relocate sensitive electronics under the leak.
Document the damage
Photograph leaks and ceiling stains before you move anything.
Note the timing and weather conditions. This helps your contractor diagnose the source and supports insurance claims.
Don’t chase the drip - call the pros.
Roof systems are complex; water can travel far from the entry point.
Temporary DIY patches rarely last and may void warranties.

Why Restoration Beats Repeated Repairs
Spot repairs only address the area you can see - leaving the rest of the roof vulnerable.
If your roof is aging or you’re calling for fixes every season, a full-roof restoration is the smarter solution. Tillotson’s spray-applied roof coating systems create a seamless, protective layer across the entire roof.
That means:
- Preventing leaks and stopping current water damage
- Better UV protection and energy efficiency
- Lower maintenance and fewer interruptions at your facility
- A longer service life at a lower cost than replacement
In our 30+ years, we’ve coated millions of square feet across the Midwest. Restoring the whole roof is typically far more economical than replacement and saves time and labor over chasing leaks year after year.
Metal Roof Leaking? We Have a System for That.
Metal expands and contracts with temperature shifts, and in Nebraska’s climate, seams and fasteners can loosen and separate. Our MR System addresses this by sealing seams and fastening reinforcement, and - when appropriate - adding spray foam for extra insulation and stability.
Applied directly over your existing metal roof, this approach helps to:
- Save money vs. tear-off and replacement
- Eliminate or reduce thermal bridging
- Improve interior comfort and energy performance
- Minimize workplace disruption during the project
- Extend the life of your existing roof
