Flat Roof Replacement
Flat roof replacement is a critical service for maintaining the structural integrity and energy efficiency of commercial and residential buildings. Over time, flat roofs can suffer from weather damage, ponding water, membrane deterioration, or general wear and tear that compromise their performance. Replacing an old or failing flat roof helps prevent leaks, reduces energy loss, and adds value to the property. Choosing a well-executed replacement ensures long-lasting protection and minimizes the need for frequent repairs. A flat roof that's professionally replaced can also support new insulation systems and updated materials that perform better against heat, cold, and moisture.
Flat Roof Inspection and Assessment
Before any replacement work begins, a comprehensive inspection is performed to evaluate the condition of the existing roof. This includes identifying water damage, assessing insulation levels, and checking for structural concerns. The findings help determine whether full replacement is necessary or if partial restoration is a viable option.
Single-Ply Membrane Replacement
Single-ply membranes like TPO, EPDM, and PVC are common materials used in flat roof systems. Replacing an aging or damaged membrane with a new single-ply system enhances weather resistance and extends the life of the roof. These materials are also known for their energy efficiency and ease of installation.
Built-Up Roofing (BUR) Replacement
Built-up roofs are composed of multiple layers of asphalt and reinforcing fabrics. When these layers begin to degrade, a full BUR replacement ensures proper sealing and durability. A new BUR system offers excellent waterproofing and can handle heavy foot traffic common on commercial rooftops.
Modified Bitumen Roof Replacement
Modified bitumen systems provide flexibility and resilience in a variety of climates. Replacing old or cracked bitumen layers helps prevent moisture intrusion and maintains energy efficiency. These systems are especially valued for their adaptability to both cold and warm temperatures.
Insulation Upgrades During Replacement
Roof replacement is an ideal time to improve insulation performance. Upgrading insulation helps regulate indoor temperature and lowers energy costs year-round. Modern insulation systems used during flat roof replacement also contribute to environmental sustainability.
Drainage System Integration
A proper drainage system is essential to the success of a flat roof. During replacement, drains, scuppers, and tapered insulation systems can be installed or updated. This helps prevent standing water and reduces the risk of leaks or structural damage over time.
