What Tends To Fail
The problems we see on these roofs
Aging tar and gravel roofs
Built up roofs hide their wear under the gravel, so cracks and dry spots go unnoticed until water finds them.
Ponding stains on rubber roofs
Rust colored rings on EPDM mark where water sits after every rain, slowly breaking the rubber down.
Plants growing on the roof
Weeds and saplings mean trapped water and debris, and their roots can push straight through the roof layers.
Open seams on rubber roofs
Peeling seams and lifted flashing let water run right under the membrane, especially where roof sections meet.
Core samples tell the truth
Cutting a small sample shows how many layers are up there and whether the insulation underneath is wet.
