“Flat” roofs still need positive drainage. Because water moves slowly, seams, flashings, drains, scuppers, penetrations, edges, substrate, and insulation slope are central to performance.
The existing assembly, building use, attachment, drainage, traffic, and lifecycle plan guide system selection.
Most low-slope roof problems concentrate at transitions and areas where water or traffic stress the assembly.
These answers provide a practical starting point. The building, roof assembly, permit jurisdiction, and observed conditions determine the final recommendation.
Low-slope roofs should be designed to drain. Persistent ponding can increase stress, collect debris, complicate repairs, and indicate drainage or slope conditions that deserve review.
Sometimes. The existing membrane, moisture condition, adhesion, details, drainage, substrate, repairs, and coating manufacturer requirements determine whether restoration is suitable.
Curbs, penetrations, condensate, service traffic, fasteners, and repeated trade work create concentrated detailing and wear around rooftop equipment.
We’ll take a look, explain what we find, and give you clear options built around your property and budget.
