PVC Roof Repair

This PVC roof was installed in the 90’s and is deteriorating and leaking. Roof Restored May 2007.

Existing Condition

This PVC roof is chalking with mild crazing and some leaks near the entrance.

The owners were looking for a way to stop roof leaks and extend the life of the roof while avoiding costly and disruptive roof replacement.

Surface Preparation

The entire PVC roof was pressure washed to remove dirt and debris. The entire roof was primed with PrimeLock™ Neoprene Primer to lock up any residual chalk and promote adhesion. Prevailing winds prevented an airless sprayer application so a wide roller was used.

Leakproofing / Waterproofing

Seams along the perimeter and airconditioning units were sealed with 6” SeamStitch® roofing fabric. EnergyGuard® Aromatic Polyurethane Roof Coating was used to secure the fabric to the roof. It provides a reinforced membrane along high stress areas.

Roof Coating Application

2 coats of EnergyGuard Aromatic Polyurethane Roof Coating was applied on the entire roof using a 3000 psi airless sprayer. A seamless roofing membrane now covers the old, leaky roof.

Roof Repair … Done Right!

Behind the Scenes

An adhesion test is essential in determining compatibility with the substrate. 2 different product combinations were tested.

The Neoprene Primer and Aromatic Polyurethane Coating were thoroughly mixed with an electric paint mixer before use.
