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 few photographs 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. Note when it leaksIn every rain, only in wind, or only in a thaw. Wind-driven rain points at a wall line or a skylight; a thaw points at ice at the eaves.

Note 01How much would it cost to repair a flat roof?

Flat-roof patching in Livingston is published at an estimated $800 to $2,500. One seam or a blocked drain on a small low section sits at the low end; an upstand renewed along a whole wall of the house sits higher.

Note 02How to repair a flat roof without replacing it?

Repair what failed: the seam that opened, the upstand where the membrane meets the house wall, or the drain that ponds. A low section rarely fails in the middle, so most repairs are at its edges, made in the same membrane system and terminated rather than sealed.

Note 03What is the best replacement for a flat roof?

When repair is no longer honest, the choice is usually between membrane systems, and it follows the roof: how it is used, how many pipes go through it, and how it meets the walls of the house around it. The edges and the drain matter more than the membrane.
