Low Slope Roof Repair: Fixing Wall Flashing Openings for Lasting Protection

Fixing openings in wall flashing is an essential step to protect low-slope roofs from potential damage caused by water intrusion. At Anchor Point Roofing in Chicago, we specialize in addressing these issues with a thorough, detailed approach. For this particular repair, we begin by removing and saving the clay copings from the affected area. The old, damaged modified bitumen wall flashing and existing termination bar are removed and hauled away, along with the current layer of insulation, which may be contributing to the problem.

Next, we prime the parapet wall with asphalt and install a new 1.5" Poly ISO insulation layer to reinforce the area. To enhance the roof’s durability, we provide and install a cant strip before applying a new layer of white granulated modified bitumen wall flashing that extends over the parapet wall. Finally, we reinstall the saved clay coping, ensuring a secure, watertight seal that restores the roof's strength and longevity. This comprehensive repair ensures that your roof remains protected and well-maintained for years to come.
