Not every day is the same, nor is every job, but one that you likely get many calls about are roof leaks. For architects and building owners, roof leaks can be a big problem, and are likely the culprit of some water damage and potentially very expensive damage down the road. In fact, 85% of roof leaks will occur at penetrations and corners due to poor details which fail to accommodate movement. While you may not be able to fix the entire roof, nor will the client want you to, with the right type of products, you’ll be able to offer them a solution to their leaking roof problems. Our selection from Portals Plus offers just that with a variety of solutions for leaking roofs.
In some cases, high labor costs and low standards will create conditions for poor workmanship and non-functional field fabricated flashings, which don’t work for extreme roof temperature swings. This attitude of it being “good enough” creates temporary expedients, but the ongoing expense from it won’t be worth it. These expedients come out as pitch pockets or pans and their derivatives, but the National Roofing Contractors Association definitively states that pitch pockets or pans are not designed to be continuously watertight. Furthermore, they require frequent inspection and maintenance, and unfortunately, a lot of damage can occur before the leak is found near them. However, with this selection, you’ll be able to correct some of the damage done and get your customers back on the right track. Portals Plus manufactured these solutions knowing the issues that crop up in this industry and knowing that a proper solution was needed.
