Flat Roof Leaks in Chicago? Address Loose Membrane Issues on Wall Flashing Today!
January 24, 2025
Noticed water stains on your ceilings or persistent dampness in your Chicago home? A common culprit for flat roof leaks is loose or damaged membrane at the wall flashing. This vulnerable area allows water to infiltrate, leading to a cascade of problems. Water intrusion can weaken the structural integrity of the roof, causing sagging, cracking, and even collapse. Furthermore, it creates a breeding ground for mold and mildew, compromising indoor air quality and potentially leading to health issues. Persistent leaks can also damage insulation, leading to increased energy costs and discomfort.
Anchor Point Roofing: Your Chicago Roof Repair Specialists
At Anchor Point Roofing, we specialize in addressing these critical issues. Our experienced team will begin by carefully removing and hauling away the loose modified bitumen wall flashing from the parapet wall as needed. To ensure a proper seal with the existing field membrane, we will prepare the length of the wall by removing the aluminum coating as needed. We then apply a new coat of asphalt primer to the parapet wall for optimal adhesion. Next, we provide and install a new modified bitumen wall flashing along the length of the wall. To further secure the flashing, we install a new termination bar or counter flashing along the length of the wall. Finally, we apply a commercial-grade sealant to the top of the termination bar and finish by applying an aluminum coating in the repaired area. Anchor Point Roofing provides expert roof repairs in Chicago and surrounding areas, ensuring your roof remains resilient and protects your property for years to come.
