Scope Of Work
Roof Size – 15,000 square feet.
Roof System Installed – Conklin’s 60 mil. Flexion Single Ply System
Warranty – 20 years
Roof Details
Existing roof – SPF foam roof over Hot Asphalt roof
Unique Challenges
SPF roof was applied 20 years ago, did not have a quality coating on it. This caused the SPF to breakdown in some areas, water became trapped between layers
Roof did not have proper slope for the SPF system, causing severe ponding and water infiltration
Active bowling alley – Care had to be taken to tear off not more than we could cover in a day. Crew worked until 12:00 midnight one night to get it done.
Multiple leaks
Decking was rusted in some areas
Roof did not enough drains
Solution
Due to the poor condition of the roof, a complete tear off was needed
Existing roof was 5” thick, making for a lot of tear off labor
We replaced 2000 square feet of rusted decking
We installed a predesigned Tapered Insulation System to eliminate the ponding water
We installed 6 new roof drains, hired a plumber to run new PVC drain lines to the grade
We installed Conklin’s PVC single Ply, Flexion, attached to the roof deck with screws, all seams were heat welded
