Problem: Seaming

 

Reason: Poor adhesion of the seams lead to openings that will allow water to enter– this can compromise the insulation and roof deck.

 

Solution: Probe seams and then install compatible membrane over the open seams.

Problem: Detachment from Roof Edge

 

Reason: Improper priming of the gravel stop led to detachment.

 

Solution: Remove membrane, clean and prime the metal edge and install new membrane.

Problem: Alligatoring

 

Reason: Standing water on the roof and the lack of a coating caused premature deterioration of the membrane.

 

Solution: Clean roof by pressure wash, install a waterproof coating to prevent additional breakdown of the membrane.

Problem: Curb Flashing Detachment

 

Reason: Poor seam construction on the vertical flashing.

 

Solution: Install compatible corner membrane to seal the curb.

Problem: Third Party Damage

 

Reason: Equipment from third parties set equipment on the roof leading to membrane punctures and damage. 

Solution: Install compatible membrane to seal punctures. Walkway padding also can be installed to provide more protection in high traffic areas.
