Do we need a full flat roof replacement, or can we keep chasing leaks one patch at a time?

A flat roof should send water toward the drain—not save it for a rooftop pool party. The condominium association needed a full low-slope roof replacement to address an aging roof system, vulnerable wall edges, roof penetrations, and skylight seams that could let water find its way inside.

Anchor Point Roofing removed the worn roofing layers and rebuilt the roof with a smooth modified-bitumen system. In plain English, this is a durable, layered flat-roof material designed to stand up to Chicago weather. The project also included new PolyISO insulation to improve the roof assembly and tapered insulation near drainage points to help direct water where it belongs. :rain_cloud::arrow_right::no_entry_sign:

The crew tackled the leak-prone details that often cause the biggest trouble: flashing at walls, HVAC line areas, roof penetrations, counterflashing, and skylight seams. New pitch pans and commercial-grade sealant helped protect these trouble spots, while new gravel-stop edge metal finished the rear roof edges. Tiny gaps can create giant headaches, so details matter. :hammer:
