| Repairing
roofs with Sprayed Foam.
SPF roofs are considerably easier to maintain and repair
than other roofing systems. While Buit-Up roofs and single-plys
must be removed and replaced after their usable lives; repairing
and recoating an SPF roof enables it to last indefinitely.
Replacing
an Existing Roofing System
Because of its light weight, Sprayed Polyurethane Foam can
be applied over already existing roof installations. It
can be applied directly over asphalt, shingles, built-up
roofs, clay tile, concrete, metal, and wood. This saves
the need for tear-off, reducing the amount of time, disruption
to the business, even the debris in landfills. The roof
has to be properly prepared by cleaning off any loose debris
and aggregate, and by making sure that it is completely
free of moisture.
Repairing
a SPF Roof
When a foam roof gets minor mechanically induced damage
from equipment or personnel, repairing the roof can be done
with a caulking gun. Larger penetrations into the roof can
be temporarily sealed with caulking as well, but it is recommended
that the contractor should permanently seal the area with
a new layer of topcoat.
SPF
roofs can sometimes develop blisters, the most common cause
of which is due to the presence of moisture. The majority
of blisters do not pose a threat to the integrity of the
roofing system. Unneccesary repairs to them can result in
leaks and premature roof problems. If repairs are warranted,
it should be left to the roofing contractor to properly
repair them.
