Roof maintenance and coating application

Supervisor and security system.

Homeowner was worried about the over all condition of her roof,and wants to extend its serviceable life.

Low spots on the roof,water tends to sit and causes extreme.wear and tear.

Several permanent patches were placed on different areas of the roof,mainly over faulty,cracked open seams.these are permanent.as long as they're applied properly by a trained professional.

Deck was pressured washed while onsite,rain was expected.

Siding was removed to apply a waterproofing membrane.

Another areas of concern.this is an old roof ,we applied patches were most needed.
Again.these are permanent and compatible with the existing material.

Special attention was placed on all roof protrusions.
This soil stack pipe was reflashed as seen here.

New siding was installed after a waterprofing membrane was placed on the walls,this will prevent wind driven rain from getting into the stairway area

Pressure washed the deck.before staining and waterproofing also.

All coping stones were sealed at the joints.
This will prevent water from coming in at the top of the parapet walls

All detail work was done and all vents were sealed at the base with urethane based caulk.
Prior to thr coating application.

Patches were applied close to the gutter edge,these were two buildings and two separate roofs owned by the same person

All a/c units were checked to make sure the base was not making any punctures on the roofing membrane.
Extreme vibration will cause damage when the units are not sitting on a plastic base on a mat.

Water dripping non stop

Homeowner called.her issue was a leak causing major problems,most likely the roof is to blame

water stains and damage,were rather obvious.roof needs to checked carefully.

Alarmed homeowner,also concerned about more damages as wet insulation and possible ceiling collapsing .

  

Roof was checked carefully above the affected areas,found openings on the seams.Very low spot on the roof.

Additional gaps were found on other patches nearby.water could travel underneath the material

A large wrinkle on the roofing membrane was found inline with the ceiling damage.

At the top the material has cracked.

Possible weight of ice and snow,these are all signs of regular wear

Openings at the base of a/c  unit electrical connections,another sign of maintenance needed,all these openings were found above the affected unit.

Water will go inside down those small gaps,water itself and ice accumulation will create these types of openings.these are crucial since an electrical line runs thru.

 

These openings were immediately sealed with roof cement and tooled to make sure all voids were filled and to make this pitch pan water proof again

Permanent patches of the same modified material were applied over all the faulty seams and openings.as seen.

Additional pieces were applied as seen,after a careful assessment and homeowners approval was given,no sense in waiting  for latent problems to take place

Material its been applied making sure all the seams are bled these ensures a watertight seal.

As seen from a different angle.these roof repair and maintenance have been completed.until the next year.

Routine roof maintenance should be done at least once a year to prevent these types of problems before they appear.
