The initial step in the flat roofing process involves a thorough assessment of the existing roof structure, if applicable, to identify any areas of damage or weakness. For new constructions, this stage involves reviewing architectural plans to ensure the roof design supports the weight of the roofing system. Additionally, proper measurements are taken, and materials are chosen based on building usage, climate, and budget.
Preparation of an existing roof typically includes clearing the old roofing material, performing a detailed inspection of the decking, and making any necessary repairs or reinforcements. This might also involve updating insulation to meet current energy codes and installing a vapor barrier. The surface must be clean, dry, and flat before the new roofing system is applied.
Waterproofing a flat roof starts with the installation of a vapor barrier, which prevents moisture from rising into the insulation. The main waterproofing layer, which could be EPDM, TPO, PVC, or modified bitumen, is then rolled out. The seams between the sheets are sealed using heat welding, adhesives, or tape, depending on the material. Flashings are installed around the edges and at penetrations like vents and drains to ensure a water-tight seal.
The method of adhering roofing material to the roof depends on the type of material being used. For single-ply membranes like EPDM, TPO, or PVC, options include fully adhered systems using adhesives, mechanically fastened systems using screws and plates, or ballasted systems where the membrane is held in place by a layer of gravel or pavers. Modified bitumen systems are typically installed using a torch-down method, hot asphalt, or cold adhesives.
During installation, quality assurance includes regular inspections to ensure that materials are installed according to manufacturer specifications and industry standards. This involves checking for proper adhesion of materials, ensuring that seams are correctly sealed and free of gaps, verifying that flashing is correctly installed, and inspecting the overall workmanship. Many commercial roofing projects also involve a final inspection by a third-party to certify the installation.
Safety is paramount during the roofing process. Crew members are required to use personal protective equipment such as hard hats, safety glasses, and fall arrest systems. The site must comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards, which include installing safety barriers and warning lines near roof edges. Regular safety meetings and equipment inspections are also part of the protocol.
