Flat Roof Repair in South Paterson: what actually fails

On South Paterson's multi-family buildings the flat rear roof is often shared with the building next door along a party wall. Coping that fails there soaks two buildings, so the wall top is part of the repair.

A mixed residential part of the city with single-family houses, multi-family buildings and apartments on the same streets.

  • Where the container and tear-off can go
  • Ladder position and access on a narrow lot
  • Edges shared with the roof next door
  • Chimney leaks on younger roofs, priced as repairs

04Before we arrive

What to do before anybody climbs a ladder

  1. Catch the water and photograph itA bucket under the drip, belongings moved, and a photograph of the stain before anything is touched. Keep clear of wet ceilings near a light fixture and switch that circuit off if it is safe to.
  2. Look at the flat roof from a windowIf a back window looks onto the low roof, check for standing water, a lifted edge or debris at the drain. Do not climb out onto it.

Note 01How long does a flat roof repair last?

As long as the membrane around it, if it is made in the same system and terminated properly. A bead of sealant over an open seam may last a season.

Note 02Which 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 03What is a parapet, and why does it leak?

A wall carried up past the roof surface, common on brick buildings. Water gets in where the membrane turns up into it, or through failed coping on top, and on a shared wall it can soak two buildings.
