Flat Roof Repairs with Aluminum Coating
One of the most common places for water getting in on Chicago flat roofs, is on the back end of the roof. Cold and icy Chicago winters cause splits in the seams of the old rubber or roll roof membrane. This video show a complete repair using Mule-Hide silver coat:
Modified Bitumen Flat Roof Leak Repair
Posted by: | CommentsChicago Flat Roof Leak Repair
A professional’s touch on a flat roof leak repair. Water was intruding through a bad seam in a ponding area of the roof. After filling the void with 1/2″ celetex insulation board (he tapered the edge’s with his foot for a smoother transition to the existing roof) he fastened some 75lb base sheet and then applied granulated modified bitumen cap sheet. As you can see, this roofer has bled a few seams in his day (he has a tattoo of a propane torch on his arm!).
He torches the “meat” of his roll, then returns to bleed the seams. His foot seaming technique is known around here (new orleans) as the “Tucky Two-Step”. A Perfect 1/4 to 1/2″ bleed everytime. This application was a rare occasion that matching white loose granules were not applied to the still hot tar seam to blend it in with the rest of the roof field and to protect it from sun damage (with the rest of the roof being well aged, granule coating the hot seams on this patch would certainly be overkill).

Another winter has come and gone. Time to get those Chicago flat roofs sealed up! This is a flat roof on the North side of Chicago that I applied an Elastomeric coating to seal up leaks. It takes several steps, starting with cleaning the roof.
Next I apply a flashing grade to the seams, wall transitions, stacks, and the skylight. After that is dry, I then apply the first field coat to the entire flat roof. I then come back another day and start the process all over again, another coat of flashing grade, and then the final coat in the field.
This is a great way to extend the life of your Chicago flat roof and stop all those leaks around the chimney, skylights, and along the wall. If you have a flat roof in Chicago that is in need of repair, give me a call at 708-574-8052
