Condos, townhomes and carports
Flat and low-slope roofs
Water that stays on a flat roof finds the weak spot. We survey the roof, clear the drains and re-cover it, and the report shows where water sits.
What a survey covers
A roof survey with photos and a roof map
Drain, scupper and flashing checks
Ponding marked after a rain
A re-cover or coating when the survey calls for it
What we look at on a flat roof
Drains and scuppers
Clear, set at the low point, and not carrying leaves from the trees around.
Seams and flashing
Where the membrane meets a wall, a curb or a pipe, which is where most leaks start.
Ponding
Water still standing a day after a rain, marked on the roof map.
Sun and heat wear
Florida sun wears a flat roof's surface; we photograph cracking and blistering.
Equipment curbs
Air handlers and vents sit on curbs that need sealing and flashing.
Edges and parapets
Coping, edge metal and the first row of the roof, where wind takes hold.
What we install
Re-cover with a membrane
A new membrane over a dry, sound roof, or after the old one comes off.
Coating on a sound roof
When the survey shows a sound roof with a worn surface, a coating can be the right answer.
Repairs at seams, drains and curbs
Small fixes that stop a leak where it starts.
About flat roofs
How often should a flat roof be surveyed?
Once a year before the rainy season, and after a major storm. The care plan for association buildings schedules it for you.
What does a condo board receive?
A written survey of each building, a roof map and dated photos, kept in a form the board can file with its records.
Do you work on carports and porches?
Yes. Low-slope roofs on carports, lanais and additions get the same survey and the same photos.
Have a board meeting coming up?
Ask for a survey and we send the report in a form the board can use.
