Curb Flashing
Cracked Curb Corners
Corners are the weakest part of curb flashing. The membrane folds there, heat cycles stress the fold, and a hairline split lets water run down inside the curb.

Highview Commercial Roof Repair at Rooftop Unit Curbs
Highview commercial roof repair often centers on the curbs under rooftop units. When curb flashing fails, the lasting fix means lifting the unit, rebuilding the flashing around the curb, and setting the unit back down.
Two trades share that job. A licensed mechanical contractor handles the disconnect and reset, the roofing crew rebuilds the flashing, and Louisville Metro inspects the HVAC work, since Highview has no city government of its own.
- Parcel jurisdiction checked before the visit is booked
- Unit disconnect and reset planned with the mechanical contractor
- Curb flashing rebuilt while the unit sits off the curb
- Unit downtime agreed with the tenant ahead of time
Curb and Unit Leaks Found on Highview Roofs
Rooftop units gather foot traffic, fasteners, and openings in one spot. Leaks around them follow a handful of patterns.
Punctures
Service Traffic Damage
Dropped screws, panels, and tools from HVAC visits puncture the membrane near each unit. Small holes hide under debris until a stain forms on the ceiling below.
Pitch Pans
Shrunken Pitch Pan Filler
Gas lines and conduit feeding a unit often pass through pitch pans. The filler shrinks away from the pipe over time and leaves a gap that fills with rain.
Condensate
Misrouted Condensate Lines
Condensate lines that drip onto the membrane beside the curb keep that spot wet all year. Seams and flashing in a constantly damp area wear out sooner than the rest.
What a Rebuilt Curb Gives a Highview Building
Fixing a curb correctly takes two trades and one plan. Here is what that work protects.
Dry Ceilings Below Units
Sealed curb flashing stops the drips that land on ceiling tiles, equipment, and stock directly under each rooftop unit.
Insulation Kept Dry
Wet boards found around the curb get cut out and replaced while the unit is off, before the new flashing goes on.
Units Back on Level Curbs
Resetting the unit on a rebuilt, flashed curb keeps its weight even and its seal tight against the curb top.
Clean Inspection Records
Metro's HVAC inspection, the roof photos, and the curb repair notes stay together in one file for the property.
Walkway Pads to Each Unit
Pads set along the service route steer technicians off the membrane and cut down on new punctures around curbs.

Commercial Roof Repair Steps for a Highview Curb Rebuild
Curb repairs pass between the roofer and the mechanical contractor. Each step shows where it takes place.
- On The Roof
Inspect Your Roof
A roofer walks the roof, probes the membrane around each curb for wet insulation, checks pitch pans and condensate lines, and photographs every opening near the unit tied to the leak.
- Around The Building
Confirm the Jurisdiction
The parcel record is checked before scheduling, since many Highview addresses look like they belong to Jeffersontown. Highview work goes to Louisville Metro, which inspects the HVAC side of the job.
- Around The Building
Disconnect and Lift the Unit
A licensed mechanical contractor shuts down, disconnects, and lifts the unit off its curb. The roofer stands by so the curb stays open for as short a time as the work allows.
- On The Roof
Rebuild the Curb Flashing
Old flashing comes off, wet boards around the curb are replaced, and new membrane flashing goes up the curb with reinforced corners sealed to the roof field.
- Around The Building
Reset and Inspect
The mechanical contractor sets the unit back on the curb and reconnects it. Louisville Metro inspects the HVAC work, and the owner gets photos of the finished curb.

Highview Rooftop Unit and Curb Questions
Answers about curb leaks, unit resets, and inspections for Highview buildings.
Who inspects a rooftop unit reset during a Highview curb repair?
Louisville Metro does. Highview has no city government and sits outside Jeffersontown city limits, so Metro inspects the HVAC work, while Jeffersontown's own inspector covers the same job a short drive away. A licensed mechanical contractor disconnects and resets the unit, and the roofing crew rebuilds the curb flashing. Check the parcel first, because many Highview addresses look like Jeffersontown.
Can curb flashing be repaired without lifting the unit?
Small corner splits can sometimes be patched in place. When the flashing has pulled away along a full side, or insulation under the curb is wet, the lasting repair needs the unit lifted so new flashing can run up and over the curb top.
Why do leaks keep coming back at the same unit?
Repeat leaks often mean the source was never fixed. Patches stacked over old patches lose their bond, and service traffic keeps puncturing the membrane around the curb. Rebuilding the flashing and adding a walkway pad route to the unit breaks that cycle.
Is a stain near a unit always coming from the curb?
Often it comes from somewhere else. Water entering at a pitch pan, a condensate drip, or a puncture several feet away can run along the deck before it falls. Tracing starts at the stain and checks every opening upslope from it.
What should be done with condensate lines on the roof?
Route them to a drain or gutter. A line that drips straight onto the membrane keeps one spot wet constantly, which wears the surface and hides small cracks. Securing the line on supports and directing it to a drain keeps the curb area dry between rains.
How should the roofer and mechanical contractor share the work?
Agree on the order before anyone climbs up. The mechanical contractor handles the shutdown, disconnect, and reset, and the roofer handles curb flashing and any wet insulation. Setting the date together keeps the curb uncovered for as little time as possible.
