Roof Drain Repair
A pre existing Firestone roof, in Newton with a standing water problem needed to be addressed with some new drains. The roof had two layers on it:
- The first layer being a PVC roof with one inch fiber board
- And the second being fully adhered EPDM with one inch ISO.
An 8 x 8 by section of the existing roof was cut out and removed. 4×4 pitched ISO sheets (pitch at 1/8 per foot) were mechanically fastened to roof deck, with a four inch roof drain installed in the middle. New piece of EPDM glued to the pitch ISO and tied in with the exist roof.
Skylight Leak
Peoples Bank in West Newton MA called on us to repair what appeared to be a roof leak. When the roof was inspected, we noticed the roof was in excellent condition. However, one of the four commercial dome style skylights had a few cracks in the glass of the skylight itself. A new skylight would have to be ordered to put an end to this leak.
Skylight leaks are often mis-diagnosed as a roof leak, when it actually is the skylight itself. A skylight can leak from a number of issues, being old and expired, seams/seals needing reglazing, or even have cracks in the glass like this one.
