You still need to cover the the parapet wall with a “non-combustible material” the minimum of the width of the parapet well. You can’t just leave the asphalt exposed like that on the top of the parapet wall per code.
Problems: 1. The top gloss clay to tar connection will delaminate and leak within 1 year. The bottom tar seal will hold the water in. 2. The tar over inside parapet wall will damage the masonry through freeze/thaw cycle and allow water to flow over the entire inside wall. Solution: Proper parapet wall cap with clean drip edge on both sides.
Thanks to "no alcohol" and "no smoking" and "no drugs" and "no medications" all my life. I took a few antibiotics here and there but never the full course as the doctor prescribed. Then thank God for health. I believe He controls everything anyway. That's why I have work, that's why I have health, that's why I have hope. I am allowed all these things so I can serve Him. Praise God
@@RooferNews My base is in Norwalk, Connecticut. But I go as far as Maryland and Virginia. I also have a project close to Pittsburgh in a few weeks. Next week I'll be looking at a huge apartment complex in Temple Hills, MD. I have a job in Richmond, Virginia next week so on my way, I will stop at Temple Hills. So, as you can see, I go where the money is. Any job over $15 k is worth traveling for. Not only that, but I like to help people. So I get to do that a lot.
@@FlatRoofDoctor Your plate is full and you get to help a lot of people. That's perfect. I enjoy your videos and I'll keep watching them when they come out. Take care, David
Roofs can always be coated white for a better appearance, it doesn’t matter if it’s messy . Just make sure you have everything water tight. Nice work .
You are welcome. I thought to upload this video today because someone else was talking about parapet walls and Terra-cotta wall caps. So I thought this would help to understand what my method would be.
This is 4 years later, and nothing wrong with the roof. Do you suppose there is some truth in it. I have been doing this style roofing for almost 40 years. All my roofs are still holding strong. I made a video lately showing some at 15 and 20 years. There is no difference, if it last 5 years it will last 30 years
Will start making videos next week on flat roofs, tiled roofs and IBR steel roof repairs and applications next week. Our specification differ a little bit in South Africa but i hope to teach people "a thing or two" 😂😂 thanks for the great video Oom. Lekker naweek en op die Bokke! #RWC2019
Hey Pieter. Contact me if you are getting into making videos. I would like to help you with your camera set up if I can. I will be extremely busy in the next 5 weeks, but when December rolls around, I will have time to chat. How old are you and where in South Africa are you? Send me some pics to naas@mac.com
Hi The question should rather read, "is the TPO as durable as the Yorch Down?" There is nothing that comes to longevity and durability as a Two Ply Torch down.
Flat Roof Doctor Awesome I might have to replace that section some of the panels are pretty bend and others try to repair it with caulking stuff all over so I’m thinking to replace the metal or just seal some sections with your product
@@rvingmontanezway103 No matter how bad the metal is bend, as long as you remove all the silicone junk others have applied, be assured that Turbo Poly Seal will do the trick.
@@rvingmontanezway103 You are welcome. I am planning to take my new wife to Pensacola hopefully at the beginning of September. We got married a few weeks ago and I took her there for a 2-day honeymoon. This was the 1 st time she ever saw the real sea and a real sandy beach. Water was awesome. Before we hit winter in Connecticut I want to taste a little bit of that Gulf in Pensacola. It brings back the youth in me. Thanks for chatting. Take care
@@FlatRoofDoctor Watch "Flat Roof Repair 8" on RU-vid ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8Fm_lSJDFNo.html What you think about this can you help naaass i got a flat roof like this
@@FlatRoofDoctor good morning do you think this will work for an old tar roof Watch "How to Cold Process SBS Modified Bitumen Roll Roofing over Built Up Tar and Gravel" on RU-vid ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IRjSetlrckI.html
I did mention that too in one of the comments that there are other ways to go about it. What you just described to do would take 3 times longer and 3 times the cost. You suppose my bid would be competitive in landing the job if I had to include the work you describe? I was $3000 higher than the next bid already. It's all to do with pricing. This is a commercial building and he just doesn't want it to leak. I even went over an old wrinkled build-up roof. Just my thought on why I do what I do
Flat Roof Doctor I agree it would take a lot longer to do and it would be more cost Efficient to do it your way .I have never seen this technique done before just was wondering why you did it that way good work on the job not criticizing your work
Andrew Beaudry I have done repairs before with the ribs in place but it’s a bad idea. The next idea would be to remove the caps completely. Clean the wall from all the junk that people have added below the cap. Bring the membrane up and over the wall, then install new cap. Either with terra-cotta or metal. A lot of work. Also, if below the cap is not bad, meaning there is no tar and stuff. Then bring the membrane right up to the cap underneath. That’s how it’s suppose to be.
Hi Sure, you can have metal caps fabricated that covers everything. The way I demonstrate is the most effective and cost-effective solution. Someone else might have some other ideas. If anyone got ideas for this solution, please comment here.
what has safety to do with "the worst transition" You maybe the worst comment writer. Why dont you rather explain what is so bad so everyone can learn . Just a negative comment doe not help anyone. If you want to talk about safety, then let us hear about it. Put the shoe on if it fits. Be constructive. You must be working for someone. If you work for yourself then you will be different.
Good catch Mike. I switch from grinder to brush to cutter so many times that I get lazy to put the guard back on. But you are correct, one should have a protection guard on.
So you're saying 3ft., starting at the far side of the top of wall down onto the horizontal roof surface or just enough to overlap the turn up on the wall.
Ok I am trying to think what you mean by "Hot tar" I have never worked with "Hot tar" and I am no expert in that. Hot Tar is bitumen that comes in a solid form that is then heated up in a kettle to become liquid. Now to get to your question. It depends on what you want to repair and big the project is. If it entails an Old Hot Tar roof, then it's better to use hot tar if you can find someone with a kettle. I use Modified Bitumen Adhesives for many of my repairs along with a membrane. That is something like a cold tar in a bucket. Karnak 81 Trowel grade is the best for many repairs. Never use Henry, Bull Dog or other cheap brands of tar you can buy at Lowes or Home Depot. By the way, Home Depot started to carry Karnak 66 Trowel Grade. An excellent product.
@@FlatRoofDoctor i do have a old tar and gravel roof it has two leaks i have been scraping the gravel off and its all crackin , and it does pool in some spots , like 900 square feet i might just have some one just redue it ive been trying to figure out from watching you videos and others all flat roof stuff
@@happydays454 My advice - That roof can't be fixed. Install a Two-Ply Modified Bitumen Torch Down directly over the gravel and all. Without seeing it, I can do it for $8 K. There are many factors that could change the cost. Drains, A/C units, parapet walls and so on. Send me pics to my Tel no 203 858 0080 and I will help you find a cost-effective solution for you. But stop trying to fix that BUR. I know money is always tight, everyone is in that same boat. Just text m,e and I can help you. I finance jobs too.
@@happydays454 Too far!!!!!!! you can get it done for much cheaper there. A good price would be between $4 - $5 k I am getting married soon, maybe I'll stop by on my way to Grand Canyon and do it for you. Just kidding. I hope all the best for you. What you could do in the meantime is to scrape the gravel away where the cracks are, use a leaf blower to blow the dust off, then use Karnak 66 brush Grade and pour it all over the cracks. Use a brush to work it in too. That might get you by for a long time.
