How long does a rooftop deck waterproofing membrane last?
Most liquid-applied and torch-down waterproofing membranes on residential flat roofs last 15-20 years. After that, the membrane becomes brittle and starts to crack at seams and penetrations. The crew assesses the existing membrane condition before recommending repair or full replacement. Building new decking over a failing membrane is the most common and most expensive mistake on rooftop projects.
Can my existing flat roof hold the weight of a rooftop deck?
Most California flat roofs are designed to a live load that includes deck use, but older construction from the 1950s through 1970s should be structurally assessed before adding a deck. The crew coordinates a structural review when the building age or design raises questions, and that assessment goes in the project scope before any materials are ordered.
