[heading-style-h6]The Situation[heading-style-h6]
The homeowners of a two-story property in Lake Tapps noticed pooling water, soft spots, and worsening leaks across their flat roof. The existing black hot tar torch-down system was well beyond its useful life. They contacted Flat Roof Pros for a complete replacement and long-term solution.
[heading-style-h6]The Client[heading-style-h6]
The project involved a two-story residential property with a 1,700 sq. ft. total flat roof area. The existing roofing system was a black hot tar torch-down roof that had exceeded its useful life. With multiple drainage issues and structural concerns, the homeowners needed a complete overhaul using reliable, commercial-grade materials.
[heading-style-h4]Challenges[heading-style-h4]
The existing roof was in non-certifiable condition and had multiple issues:
- Deck sagging due to prolonged membrane shrinkage
