Commercial and industrial roofs present special
challenges. Caulking commonly used to seal roof joints often degrades due to exposure to the ultraviolet rays of the sun. Fasteners fail due to metal expansion and contraction caused by thermal shock. Rainwater and condensation migrate into vulnerable seams and result in leaks and corrosion.
SURMAC offers building owners and managers the following high-tech roofing solutions:
Fluid-applied reflective elastomeric systems for metal, hypalon and bitumen roofs;
Highly-protective, premium foam-with-polyurea systems that can tolerate high-impact loads and that are used in areas where roof protection is a paramount concern; and
Systems
to convert roof area into decks that will allow foot traffic, where tenants
or guests may enjoy amenities such as a terrace, dance floor
and/or rooftop garden.
SURMAC roofing systems often result in a cool roof which may qualify for green incentives.
Also, keep in mind that not every roof that is experiencing leaks requires replacement. Based on our own experience as well
as published studies, SURMAC can attest that the overwhelming majority
(statistically, as many as 95%) of roof leaks originate at parapets and roof penetrations,
and a small fraction (the remaining 5%) occur in the open roof
fields. We've found that costly roof replacement can be reasonably
deferred for 5-7 years with a system we've developed for repairing parapets and penetrations. These repairs are performed at a fraction of the cost of a new
roof, and we've found that they eliminate most leaks originating from the
roof. There may remain a few leaks coming from the open field that still
need to be chased down and addressed, but that normally is not a difficult
task.
