Flat Roof Repair in Great Falls, Paterson: what actually fails
Near the Great Falls, a flat roof behind a brick parapet fails at the wall. The membrane gives way where it turns up into the brick, and a cant strip at that turn with sound coping on top is what keeps water out of the masonry.
The 19th-century mill district around the 77-foot falls of the Passaic River, listed on the National Register in 1970 and a National Historic Landmark from 1976, now the heart of the national historical park.

- Counter-flashing set into mortar joints
- Parapet coping and the cant at its base
- Low roofs behind brick walls

Call (973) 995-9945Note 01Which flat roof membranes do you repair?
The membranes found on Paterson's porches, additions and rear roofs: TPO, EPDM rubber and modified bitumen. Each is repaired in kind, because mixing systems at a seam makes a new weak point.
Note 02Can a flat porch roof be repaired without touching the main roof?
Usually, unless the leak is at the joint. Then the shingles just above it have to come up so the membrane can be turned up under them, and they go back down woven in.
Note 03What is the best way to repair a flat roof?
Repair the failed detail in the same membrane system and fix it mechanically where it meets a wall. Most repairs are at a seam, a drain, a parapet or the tie-in to the pitched roof, not in the middle.
