Replace the assembly with drainage in view

A commercial replacement needs to resolve more than an old membrane. The deck, insulation, attachment, slope and outlets determine whether the new assembly will have a sound base and a useful drainage path.

Wet material needs an answer before it is buried. Areas around rooftop equipment and roof drains often need deliberate detailing, and changes to insulation or roof height affect curbs, edges and terminations.

Tear-off and recover decisions

Recovering an existing assembly and removing it are different scopes. The existing conditions determine what is feasible.

DecisionWhat establishes the answer
Remove existing roofing
Moisture, damaged material, attachment and code requirements can require removal to a suitable substrate.
Consider a recover
A suitable dry, stable assembly needs assessment for compatibility, loading, fastening and applicable layer limits.
Replace insulation
Moisture extent, thermal requirements and drainage design affect insulation type and thickness.
Resolve drainage
Tapered insulation, crickets or changes at outlets need to fit the whole roof design.

Phasing a commercial replacement

The building needs protection throughout the work, including at each day’s closure.

  1. Define the assembly

    Establish removal, deck work, insulation, attachment and membrane with the existing building conditions.

  2. Coordinate building operations

    Set access, material staging and protection around entrances, tenants, loading areas and rooftop service equipment.

  3. Sequence open roof areas

    Weather windows, daily closure and inspection needs determine the work sequence. The contractor sets the project schedule and system terms.
