For homeowners or business owners with a flat roof, you’ll want to prevent roof problems before they occur. A flat roof that is maintained properly can tolerate the outside elements and protect you and your family for years to come. However, not routinely doing the maintenance can lead to expensive repairs or replacement.

A part of flat roof maintenance is to reseal. Having your flat roof resealed safeguards it’s durability and integrity by keeping it waterproofed and insulated. Overlooking this important step in maintaining your flat roof, can result in leaks and other damage.

Every 5-7 years is the average timeframe to reseal a roof in order to maintain it’s durability.

Signs your flat roof needs to be resealed:

1. Cracks or Splits: Observe for cracks or splits on the roof. This indicates that the coating is failing and vulnerable to leaks.
2. Pooled Water: After a rainstorm, if there is a pool of water on your roof for a couple of days, it’s possible the sealant has weakened and no longer has it’s durability to protect from leaks.
3. Bubbles: When the waterproof layer is no longer together, the trapped moisture causes bubbles.
4. Discoloration: The harsh UV rays cause discoloration and the coating to become thin.
5. Peeling: The roof needs to be resealed when there is peeling or flaking.

What is Foam Roofing? 

Foam roofing is the process of spraying a commonly flat roof with a Polyurethane Foam that expands about 20x to cover the entire roof. The foam thickens and solidifies to create a waterproof barrier.  

What is the Foam Roofing installation process like?  

1. Roof prep includes clearing debris and gravel. 

2. From a machine inside the truck, the hose will be connected to include the spray gun at the end. 

3. The roofer will bring the spray gun alongside the house and onto the roof to begin the spray foam process. 

4. For the first layer, the Polyurethane foam will be sprayed. 

5. The second layer will be a base coat of paint.  

6. Following the second layer will be the white topcoat.
