Low-slope and flat roofs
Membranes and, where suitable, coatings that keep standing water from finding a way in.
Waterproofing
Waterproofing
Quick answer
Roofing keeps water off the main roof surface. Waterproofing handles the harder places: flat sections, parapet walls, balconies and decks over living space, and the joints where walls meet roofs. In Central Florida rain, those details are where many leaks begin.
What we waterproof
Parapets and wall-to-roof joints
Counterflashing, termination bars and sealed transitions where vertical walls meet the roof.
Balconies and decks over living space
Waterproof membranes under the walking surface, with proper slope and drainage at the edges.
Penetrations and edges
Pipes, curbs, scuppers and edge metal sealed as part of one continuous system.
How we approach it
Waterproofing fails at edges and transitions far more often than in the middle. We look at where water collects, how it is supposed to leave and where one material meets another, then choose a system that suits the surface and how it is used.
When a coating makes sense
A coating can extend the life of a sound low-slope or metal roof. It is not a fix for wet insulation, failed seams or a roof at the end of its life. We check moisture and condition before we recommend one.
Waterproofing questions
Do you waterproof foundations or basements?
No. Our waterproofing work is on roofs and above-grade areas: low-slope roofs, parapets, balconies, decks over living space and wall-to-roof transitions.
My stucco wall leaks above the roof line. Is that a roofing problem?
It can be either. Water often enters at the wall-to-roof flashing, but cracked stucco, windows and parapet caps can also let it in. We tell you what we find, including when the source is not the roof.
