When a roof leaks, you need to fix it quickly. Water leakage can cause severe damage to the structure and ruin the contents inside. You will need to Determine what materials you will need to complete the job. Different roof types require different materials. If you have a flat roof you have a couple different options as there are a couple different approaches to flat roofs. 


  • Built-up Roofing: This method, known simply as BUR, is done by overlapping rolls of treated felt using hot (molten) tar or asphalt. It becomes brittle and cracks up over the years.

    • Single-Ply Membrane Roofs: This type is excellent but requires propane torch heat to install the seams.
    • Sprayed Polyurethane Foam: This kind of roofing material is sprayed, or squeegeed flowed onto the surface and may be protected by a special second coating
    • Modified Bitumen (Asphalt) Roll Roofing: This is a method in which a single layer of asphalt-treated, granule coated felt is cold cement sealed or hot sealed to the primed decking or to a base sheet.
    • "SA" Self-adhesive (SBS, APP or modified bitumen) rolls: These often include (1) both an SA base sheet and the SA cap sheet, both come in rolls -- or (2) only a single cap layer is applied to a primed decking.

    Once you have this figured out a qualified roofing contractor in your area can help you decide the best approach. Several factors may already help this decision process. Depending on the products used when the roof was initially constructed you may have to stick with that style for cost purposes. However if the initial build was done improperly you may be looking at a complete tear off giving you more options.

    In any case flat roofs come with a  few challenges that can be easily dealt with. A professional roofing company with years of experience can best explain your options and provide a cost bid for your review and approval before any work may start.
