Our Modified Bitumen Roofing Installation Services
We follow a clear process to ensure your roofing lasts and performs well. Every step, from checking the roof's condition to the final inspection, is done carefully to meet high standards.
Roof Assessment
We start by inspecting the existing roof thoroughly. This includes checking for cracks, water damage, and structural weaknesses. We also measure the roof area precisely to determine how much material is needed.
Our team looks at the roof's slope and drainage system to identify any issues that might affect installation. This helps prevent future leaks or damage. The assessment ensures we plan the installation based on the roof’s specific conditions.
Surface Preparation
Preparing the surface is key to a strong bond. We clean the roof to remove dirt, old materials, and debris. This may involve power washing and scraping any loose elements.
Next, we repair any cracks or holes using suitable sealants or fillers. If the surface is uneven, we smooth it out with patching materials. A clean, even surface helps the bitumen membrane to stick well and last longer.
Membrane Application
We apply the modified bitumen membrane using heat welding or cold adhesive, depending on the project needs. The membrane is rolled out carefully to avoid wrinkles or bubbles.
Multiple layers are often installed for added durability. Each layer is pressed firmly to ensure full contact with the roof. We pay close attention to seams and edges, sealing them tightly to prevent water infiltration.
Final Inspection and Quality Assurance
After installation, we inspect every part of the roof. Our team looks for loose seams, bubbles, and any signs of poor adhesion. We test the roof’s water resistance by simulating rain conditions.
We document all findings and fix any issues before finishing the job. This step makes sure the roof meets our quality standards and protects your property effectively.
Choosing the Right Modified Bitumen System
We focus on selecting a system that fits the building’s needs, climate, and roof design. The choice between single-ply and multi-ply options, how well the system works with different building types, and climate factors all affect the final decision.
Single-Ply Versus Multi-Ply Options
Single-ply systems use one layer of modified bitumen, which makes them lighter and faster to install. They are often cost-effective and good for simple roofs with low traffic. Multi-ply systems have two or more layers, providing extra strength and durability. They are better for roofs that need more protection from damage or extreme weather. Multi-ply lasts longer but costs more upfront.
Choosing depends on your budget, roof shape, and how much wear the roof will face. We assess these before recommending a system.
Compatibility with Building Types
Different buildings need different roofing solutions. Low-slope commercial buildings often benefit from modified bitumen because it resists water pooling better than some alternatives. Residential buildings may use modified bitumen if they have flat or low-slope roofs but often with different installation methods to match smaller scale needs.
We check the building’s structure, age, and roof design to make sure the system will fit well and perform as expected.
Climate Considerations
Climate affects how a roof performs over time. In hot climates, materials that resist heat and UV rays last longer.
In cold or wet areas, water resistance and flexibility to handle freezing and thawing are critical. We consider local weather patterns like heavy rains, heat, or snow loads to select a system that maintains its integrity year-round. This ensures fewer repairs and longer roof life.
