Hey guys, I've been dealing with a leak in my roof occasionally for the past year or so. I actually posted a video on here a few months ago soliciting advice. I have a flat roof from a new build that was constructed in 2017.
I'm trying to see if I can mitigate any leaks and push out any full rebuild of the roof as far as possible. I wanted to share my plan with you all and see if anyone has any advice or critiques. Thanks in advance.
Since we have a dry, hot week ahead of us, I pressure washed the entire roof today. Thursday, I plan on going to the roofing supply store and buying roof tar and silver coat. I plan on spreading the roofing tar as smooth as possible along the seams of the roof where it connects to the railing. After the roofing tar is dry, I will then paint the entire surface of the roof with the silver coat and let it dry.
looking North when you step onto roofdeck
looking at the NW corner (where the only downspout drainage is)
NW corner still drying from pressure wash
looking W on the N side, close to the door
looking South from the North side, near door
looking West on South side, near door
soft spot in Southeast corner - pools water
behind soft spot in SE corner, area separated from rest of roof with exhaust pipes
behind SW corner, more exhaust pipes
the door without a screen. source of the leak is directly underneath this.
old work done under door, looks suspicious
looking towards door from NW corner, I think its leaking here from the seams. Pools water here.
I have had a roofing salesman out to my house who immediately wanted to rebuild and didn't end up giving me a quote afterwards. One of the townhouses two doors down just replaced their roof for a whopping $44k. I am trying to push out any thought a tearout and rebuild for a few years.
If you got this far, I can't thank you! What do you guys think of my plan? Any thoughts?
I wish I had the courage to rip up the SE corner with the soft spot. But I am not confident in my ability to replace the underlying plywood, apply new rubber, torch it and patch the spot.
Why wouldn’t you want Westbrook? He brings great, competitive energy
“I’ve been told that Nikola Jokic actually has been pushing behind the scenes to get Westbrook to Denver,” said Nuggets insider Harrison Wind. “I’ve been told that Nikola Jokic wants Westbrook in Denver. He wants to play with him. It’s not the first time he’s wanted to play with him.”
