Low slope roofs can fail over time primarily due to issues with waterproofing and weather resistance, especially in roll roofing systems. The key problems include:
1. Vertical Flashing Issues: Over time, vertical flashing can become undone. In scenarios with wind-driven rain, this allows water to accumulate and seep underneath the flashing, resulting in leaks beneath the roll roofing.
2. Material Degradation: The tar at the seams of the roll roofing can show visible cracking, indicating material degradation. This compromises the roof's integrity and leads to further water intrusion.
3. Underlying Conditions: The condition of the base layer of the roll roofing is also crucial. If this layer is compromised, it exacerbates the overall problem, making superficial repairs less effective.
These insights highlight the importance of proper installation, regular maintenance, and considering durable repair solutions for the longevity and effectiveness of roofing systems.
