Any flat roof can be saved by installing the proper drainage system. A Flat Roof will last indefinitely if a proper drainage system is installed. See how I installed a unique drain system that has less maintenance than the conventional drains.
A flat roof is as good as its draining system. Bad drains cause roofs to leak and replacements are imminent.

All I can say is we do our flat roofs differently here in Wales. A 3 layer torch on system layed on Kronospan. A 40 year life. Preferably a warm roof.

@chriscross7709 Год назад

Seems reasonable for a place that gets constant rain almost year round. Here in California we don't even need to torch anything down, we can just nail it down and it'll do just fine lol.

@Loonypapa 8 месяцев назад

You're doing it the right way. This guy is not.

@MrMoss786 2 года назад

That channel was excellent, but your RU-vid channel is better. Great video. Shocking how much old roof material in that dumpster. Hard honest work. Thanks for the video. I don't know if it's just me but the video gets stuck at 9:36 when you were showing the water around the chimney. I had to skip forward 10 sec to get it to play again.

@FlatRoofDoctor 2 года назад

I don't know what the issue is. I think it has to do with RU-vid server. But thanks for letting me know. As always, you are the best

You can cause condensation in between your 2 systems

@Tee-roni Год назад

If you go over the stones, you will have a gap where hot air can't escape and it will get too hot.Accelerating deterioration of the material used for the roof-over.

@chrislively4644 Год назад

I'm a professional roofer out of Tucson Union trained non-union state with over 21 years commercial residential and industrial experience trained by some real professionals and I think you are one hell of a roofer

@Tee-roni Год назад

Wow

@Loonypapa 8 месяцев назад

Nobody in their right mind would install torch down over an existing roof. Look at all the ponding he had.

@migueldefreitas1367 Год назад

Good thing you use dark gray cap sheet this time we can hardly see all you burn marks. By the way did you tell the home owners there heating and cooling bill is going to be higher now that you removed any R value the roof had and didn't put any back?

@Loonypapa 8 месяцев назад

Zero insulation on that roof now.

@FKS1994 2 года назад

Hey, Flat Roof Doctor! I am curious about a product that you use for sloped flat roofs with EPDM on top. You use the silicone seal from bergstrom. Do you have any experience with the other silicone roof coating such as GACO, Henry, Kool Seal (by Sherwin Williams), or Blackjack? Also, how many coating would you suggest on an old EPDM roof (15+ years) with a small leak when there is heavy rain (I think caused by water pooling)?

@FlatRoofDoctor 2 года назад

Hmm, I can't vouch for all the other brands. What I do know is that the fleece that comes with the Bergstrom Super Silicone Seal, is incredible. You can buy a fleece at Home Depot, made by Henry, and it is not that good. It does not work as well. My suggestion is to get the silicone and the fleece and seal the seam in that particular area on the roof. It most likely will fix the problem. No need to coat the entire roof.

@Swoliosis1 Год назад

Hello.. I recently moved into a home and the history of my porch roof sounds similiar to this. I think it was a torch down, then someone put some kind of tar or asphalt coating over it probably 6-7 years ago based on Google Earth imagery. I have no obvious leaks yet, but what should I do to prolong the life?

@franktorres633 Год назад

You clean your channels periodically , just like any rain gutters or solars...

@caseyjohnston8843 2 года назад

I’m curious to know about the decks on these go overs are the plywood ?concrete ? metal?

@FlatRoofDoctor 2 года назад

If you watched the video, you can tell the guy cutting plywood and I was talking about Rafters and plywood in some places So, it is a Wood structure

@caseyjohnston8843 2 года назад

Yes obviously this one is. But as far as the others like the gravel go overs and what not

@akoznasovajusername 2 года назад

What to do to prevent a large water pooling on the roof? Is that even possible to avoid?

@FlatRoofDoctor 2 года назад

I have done this for years. When a roof is completely flat, and cause some pooling in areas, I cut a channel from the pooling area to the edge. That is like pitching the roof, but in a narrow area. Logic. On this particular roof I did channels in 3 different areas, and came out very nice

@700singer 2 года назад

u put a channel for flow of water on a flat roof over a den with minimal depth?yes the roof needs either TAPERS ON TOP, OR PITCHING WHICH CAN BE DONE WITH LAYERING THE STYRO BOARDS I SUPPOSE U NEED PITCH OR CHANNELS CUT OTHERWISE U WILL HAVE PENETRATION...ON MY NEWLY CHEAPLY DONE JOB FOR 8000 there is rubber over styro board no pitch i go up after a rainstorm and push water off with a snow pusher...really ticked off...

@Loonypapa 8 месяцев назад

Rip off the old roof and install the new roof properly.

@barryclements434 2 года назад

Hey flat roof doctor what make felt do you use

@FlatRoofDoctor 2 года назад

I use any self adhering base. Liberty, Mule Hide, Firestone. The one I prefer is Dynagrip by John Mansfield. That is hard to come by, but works the best

@benjaminlee5096 2 года назад

Did they have any leaks from the storm

@FlatRoofDoctor 2 года назад

nope, nothing. that was close call. But always panicking when that happens

@renalamson7635 Год назад

@uncled39 Год назад

What happens when channels get blocked with dirt and leaves?

@Loonypapa 8 месяцев назад

The roof surface in that area ages prematurely.

You're not putting down a flam You're using Fibre glass granuals as a base sheet not supposed to that's not a proper 2 ply system I believe that no product suppliers would support a warranty with your applications

Hello doctor I want to job

@adobemastr Год назад

At 9:14 the "doctor" says, "Not much water..." then proceeds to show us a roof FULL of puddles of ponding water! But that's okay, he says at 9:16, "...a little bit of water standing like this is okay because this will dry up in a day." Really? In that environment with high humidity where his shirt is soaked with sweat? Unreal. That water might takes WEEKS to evaporate in some of the deeper areas on that roof, all the while eating into and slowly destroying it, allowing mold and moss to grow in it and all kinds of other problems.

When you torch cap onto cap you are attempting to torch rubber to CRUSHED UP PORCELAIN, THIS DOES NOT WORK. Spend the fucking money you were given in the quote for the proper adhesives or fucking embedded the granules on the bottom layer. This is insane that someone let you do this work on their home.

@stanleymcvay9283 11 месяцев назад

Ain't no one got any job. You probably have immigrants working.

@InspectorRoof 4 месяца назад

Making bullshit channels that achieve minimal positive slope is NOT more expensive than installing a taper iso product. It's absolutely wild to watch you try and talk with some level of authority while being so unaware on how to correctly roof.
