Flat Roof Treatments

Flat roof waterproofing is a critical aspect of building maintenance that protects structures from water damage and extends the lifespan of the roof.

Unlike sloped roofs, flat roofs are more prone to water pooling, which can lead to leaks and structural issues if not properly addressed. Effective waterproofing typically involves applying a waterproof membrane, such as EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer), TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin), or modified bitumen. These materials create a seamless, water-resistant barrier that can withstand UV rays, temperature fluctuations, and foot traffic. Regular inspections and maintenance are essential to ensure the integrity of the waterproofing system, addressing any cracks, blisters, or seam separations promptly. Proper drainage solutions, such as internal drains or scuppers, are also crucial components of a well-designed flat roof waterproofing system, helping to prevent water accumulation and potential damage.
