POINT LOOKOUT:







Can our flat roof be fixed?
Q. My house, from 1963, has a flat roof we can walk on, stairs leading up to it and walls all around for safety. Over the years, we’ve noticed ceiling stains at the edges. Recently the stains spread to the middle of the room. We know it should be fixed, and three roofing companies over the past five years have told us they fixed it. There are deck boards lying on the roof. How do we solve this problem? One suggested he come back and use colored water in different spots until the ceiling stains turn color. Before we do such a thing, do you have any other ideas?
A. Flat roofs are a special kind of system, with less room for error than an angled roof. There are several components, and each one is there to create a seal and work with natural conditions, such as expansion and contraction due to temperature changes and sun radiation bombardment; infiltration due to humidity, rain, snow and ice; wind uplift under extremes such as hurricanes and tornadoes, and, in your case, foot traffic. Unless all of these conditions are accounted for, the roof will potentially stretch and tear away from the exterior parapet walls you described, causing small linear rips or even gaping holes that let water seep in. The tiniest opening, even microscopic, will allow water to accumulate in your ceiling and walls below.
Water management must also be planned into the roof. Try to look at original plans of the house design to see specific details that may or may not have been followed. Other than details, look to see if slope arrows, showing which way the water is supposed to be directed, are on the plans, especially with very low-slope, nearly flat, roofs, then look to see if the drains are clear and in the right places according to the plans.
You may need to consult a design professional or roof system manufacturer’s representative to see if the system is installed correctly. They also look for seam details, the wall-to-roof connections, the drain flashings (to be sure they’re sealed and redundantly overlapping) and whether you have the right kind of roof material for the location.





I once reviewed a public school roof where I had to tell the superintendent that classes shouldn’t be allowed back in because the condition was so dangerous. It was in early August, after a heavy rain and the roof had nearly 18 inches of standing water. The ceiling structure was bowing downward. Children were back in the classroom that September due to the quick action of the school system’s great management, who assembled a team of people to remove, re-slope the roof with a tapered foam block system and cover with the right roofing membrane, flashed correctly to new drains. The plans were followed, and I’m certain that the roof has been performing well for the past 20 years. Your roof can too. Good luck!
