How to apply tar or liquid flashing on a flat roof.
Hello, I have a flat roof section, about 12x12 feet, in my house in which I would like to put some tar.
The roof was done new about 3 years ago, but in the last big storm a couple of drops went through.
I think it should have lasted more shouldn't it? I'm in South Florida. Maybe the extreme summers here wear it out quicker.
I called a roof company, and they told me over $2k to apply 'liquid flashing', so I wanted to give it a try myself.
The flat roof is mainly square, and it has tar applied all around its perimeter, where it joints the sloped roof. That stripe of tar looks craked.
Also, there is a part between two stripes of membrane where there is a little gap.
I thought I'd go to home depot, get a can of tar, an spatula and cover the cracks and the gap.
I'd like to ask you guys for opinions and advice on which product and maybe some tips on the application.
Thanks
Mariano The cracked tar is at the joint between the flat roof and the sloped roof. Gap between two stripes.
I'm going to be hand-digging beside my foundation to fix a vertical crack from the corner of a window. I might have to go 6ft or so. I know we have weeping tile in that area - does it usually get buried lower than the foundation, or can I expect to run into it?
Hello,
I would love for the experts to share opinions on what I have going on. The front of my home around balcony seems to be leaking on the edges and it’s began to stain the stucco. This is right above garage. There no leaks inside garage ceiling.
what could be the cause, poor weep screed/flashing job?
how do I go about resolving this?
Call stucco repair folks or general contractor?
