South Chicago Flat Roof Repair and Coating
By
Chicago Flat Roof Repair
This is a flat roof on the south side of Chicago that had a bad leak on the back end right in the middle of the roof. The first thing that I did was install rubber patches where the leak was coming in. I then applied ponding water grade to the low spot before applying the finish grade. Next, all the seams received a coat prior to the finish grade. Then two coats of finish grade elastomeric coating were applied.
You can notice that this roof had a coat of silver seal the last time it was coated. The problem with this is that silver seal cracks within a few seasons. Elastomeric coating is much more elastic, thus allowing it to expand and contract with the roof during our extreme temperature shifts.
Another benefit with using this product is the cooling bill saving you will get. It’s a good idea to coat your Chicago flat roof in order to extend its life to its full potential. I can do most Chicago flat roofs for under $1,800.00 with a three year guarantee against leaks.
