Chicago Low-Slope Roof Repair: Installing Protective Membrane Under HVAC Condensers

Properly maintaining your low-slope roof is crucial, especially when it comes to protecting areas under HVAC condensers. In Chicago, where temperature extremes can be harsh, installing a sacrificial membrane, such as modified bitumen, under your HVAC units is an essential step. This protective layer helps prevent damage to your primary roofing membrane, which can be compromised by the constant vibrations and movements of the condenser units.

Without a sacrificial membrane, the sharp edges and vibrations from the HVAC condensers can wear down the main roofing membrane, especially during the hot summer months when the units are running more frequently. Over time, this can lead to costly leaks and roof damage. By installing modified bitumen as a protective layer, you extend the life of your roof and ensure that your building remains watertight, saving you from potential headaches and expenses down the line.
