Flat Roof Repairs

BattleRidge

So I am replacing this composite roof, but a section of the place has a flat roof on it. We arent replacing it, but it is leaking in one spot. Whats the best way to fix leaks in flat roofs? It seems to be just a crack about 4 inches long thats not wide at all. Can you just silicone it or put tar over it? Thanks

thom

Is that a real question? No information like type of roof, age of roof, etc? What kinds of answers do you hope for?

Yes?
No?
Maybe?

Thats a broad question. Kinda like how do you fix a car. Need more info.

BattleRidge

Its just a white roof, 20 years old, it was resealed 2 years ago, looks like whoever did it did a horrible job. Im not a flat roofer, I just do composites and metal. Just was going to fix it while I was up there if it was simple.

BattleRidge

Is that more useful?

MrRoofer

Is it PVC?

TPO?

Rubber?

something else?


Whatever it is, silicone or tar on top will certainly render this a horrible patch job.

I'd stick some bubble gum in there, and send them a bill!!

Kidding,

I don't know much about flat roofing systems either. But I've used NPC900 on about everything and it always seems to hold up.

But try the bubble gum first

if this flat is leaking its probably done some damage,why not call a flat roofer to look at it.(just a thought)

BattleRidge

Then what would be? Its an honest question good grief Im not like some owner or something I just want to know how.

battleridge,"its just a white roof 20 years old,resealed 2 years ago"doesnt really tell us a lot.Some pics would help.Id like to give you an honest answer but do not have the info to do so.

We are not trying to break your balls.

It is just too vague of a question to give a valid answer.

MrRoofer

How do you repair composites?
