Flat Roof Repair in Lost Bayou, Galveston: what actually fails

A flat roof in Lost Bayou is usually a porch or a later rear addition on a cottage. The fall gets checked before anything else, because a low slope framed dead level holds water whatever covers it.

Late 1800s to early 1900s, designated in 1994, the youngest of the City's historic districts; a merchant tailor, Adolph Nitsch, built a tenant cottage here.

  • Rusted drip edge along the eaves
  • Side-gabled cottage roofs, eave to ridge

Note 01What is the best replacement for a flat roof?

When repair is no longer honest, the choice is usually between membrane systems, TPO among them, and it follows the roof: foot traffic, how many penetrations it has and how it meets the walls. The edges and the drains matter more than the membrane.

Note 02Which roof is best in coastal areas, a flat roof or a pitched roof?

Each is chosen by the shape of the building more than by the coast. A pitched roof sheds water faster; a flat section over a porch or addition is fine when its edges and drains are detailed properly and its edge metal suits salt air.

Note 03What is the best way to repair a flat roof?

Repair in the same membrane system, at the detail that failed, with the edges terminated mechanically rather than sealed. If the membrane is cracked or blistered across the whole field, the repair is buying time, and you will be told that.
