Glenview Flat Roof Leaking? Could it be the Substrate?

Have you noticed soft spots or depressions on your Glenview flat roof? These are serious warning signs. The substrate, often plywood, is the foundation of your roof. When it becomes wet and deteriorates, it can lead 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.  

At Anchor Point Roofing, we specialize in addressing these critical issues. Our experienced team will begin by removing the membrane and substrate in the affected areas. We then carefully inspect and prepare the areas for the new substrate. Next, we provide and install new plywood/substrate in the area. We also provide and install new insulation board as needed. Following this, we install a new bitumen base sheet over the insulation. Finally, we provide and install a new modified bitumen cap sheet over the entire area of the repair. To enhance protection, we apply a new aluminum coating to the repaired areas only. Anchor Point Roofing provides expert roof repairs in Glenview and surrounding areas, ensuring your roof remains resilient and protects your property for years to come.
