Below we discuss the type of roof repairs that we do
MOD-BIT Roofing
What is modified bitumen roof? MOD-BIT roofing, short for Modified Bitumen roofing, presents its own set of challenges when it comes to repairs. Unlike EPDM roofing, where leak sources can vary based on installation era and manufacturer, MOD-BIT roofs often encounter issues such as cracks, punctures, blistering, and leaks. What is a bitumen roof without regular maintenance? Older MOD-BIT roofs may suffer from deterioration at the seams and flashings due to aging and weathering. Meanwhile, newer MOD-BIT roofs, especially those from lower-quality manufacturers, can experience problems like degradation of the bitumen system, leading to premature failure akin to dry rotting. At PCR, we specialize in repairing MOD-BIT roofing systems. Our seasoned experts are adept at identifying issues promptly upon inspection, enabling us to expedite repairs efficiently. Moreover, we prioritize using top-quality products from leading manufacturers, ensuring that our repairs are durable and long-lasting, often matching the lifespan of the entire roofing system itself.
BUR Roofing
Repairing a Built-up roof can be one of the more difficult jobs in the flat roofing industry. Not only is the roof typically covered in stone, but Built-up roofing has multiple plys (3-5 typical), meaning that leaks can travel. And, with so many products on the market, many contractors don’t know which product to use for which defect. At PCR, we have extensive experience repairing Built-up roofs, Modified Bitumen roofs, and other flat asphalt roof systems. This means that we know where to look for defects, how to patch them, and what to patch them with. This allows us to get better results in a quicker time, a win-win for any building owner!
EPDM Roofing
EPDM roofing, or “Rubber Roofing” can be difficult to repair, because the leak sources can change based on the era which the roof was installed, and who the manufacturer was. Older EPDM roofs tend to have problems with the seams and flashings, due to splicing cement being used. Newer EPDM roofs manufactured by lower-quality manufacturers can have problems with carbon black leaching out of the system, essentially causing the roof system to have conditions similar to dry rotting. Other times, a leak may be caused by a simple hole or opening in the roof system.
At PCR, we have extensive experience repairing EPDM “Rubber” roofs. We know what to look for from the moment we walk on the roof, which allows us to make repairs quicker than other contactors, and more effectively than other contractors. Furthermore, we also insist on using products made by the best manufacturers in the industry, which means that our patch work will typically last as long as the roof system lasts!
PVC Roofing
PVC Roofing can be difficult to repair because defects can be caused by a variety of sources. If the PVC roof system is newer, the leak source is most likely from poor-quality welding. If the PVC roof system is older, it can be caused by a variety of sources, including shrinking or shattering PVC membranes. The correct repair to make depends highly on the problem found. If it is a newer PVC roof, welding a PVC patch is typically the correct course of action. On older PVC roof systems, where small shatters may exist throughout the entire roof system, liquid flashings or other sealant products may be a more cost-effective solution based on the life expectancy of the roof system.
| At PCR, we have extensive experience repairing PVC roof systems. We always consider the problem you are having, along with the expected life expectancy of the roof system, while making repairs. This will allow us to get the best results possible at a cost-effective price. asking for, and building codes throughout New England are required.
TPO Roofing
TPO Roofing can be difficult to repair because defects are typically caused by heat welding, a process that requires experience to install and experience to find a defect in. Knowing how to probe a TPO roof, and where to probe a TPO roof, requires extensive experience. Also, knowing how to patch a TPO roof, whether it is welding a new TPO patch over the defect, or installing a white EPDM self-adhered membrane, is equally important to make sure the patch works and goes the distance.
