Roof Doctors serviced these roofs for years, extending the life of the roofs, to allow the client to build up the funds for new roofs.
These buildings have ballast EPDM roof systems on them. It’s common to do away with the rock ballast roof and replace with a TPO roof, but the budget did not allow for that in this case. Our team provided a ballast swap out which is the most economical option when a ballast roof is currently in place. Ballast roofs are great roofs; they are just more challenging in the case of leak due to having to move the gravel on top of the membrane to locate the source of a leak.
We removed the existing membrane, installed new .60 mil EPDM and replaced any bad or wet insulation we discovered.
Once the new membrane had been installed, we reapplied the rock ballast and provided our client with a 20-year warrantied roof system.
