Joint Seal Waterproofing was able to offer the ideal solution to a senior residents' home in Milton, ON, repairing and waterproofing their existing flat roof instead of replacing it – a much-more cost-efficient option. The project, which focused on waterproofing and enhancing the durability of an EPDM roof spanning 11,660 square feet, delivered long-term protection and safety improvements.
Repair Method
The repair process began with a thorough cleaning of the existing roof surface using chemical solvents to ensure optimal adhesion of coatings. Flexible membranes were applied to waterproof all joints, while damaged areas were carefully restored using fiberglass and an industrial-strength adhesive. Special attention was given to upturns on equipment platforms to bolster the overall structural integrity of the roof.
To complete the project, two coats of premium silicone coating were applied, adhering to the approved specifications and ensuring superior waterproofing performance. As a value-added feature, no-slip pathways were created on 600 square feet of the rooftop. A specialized coating was applied to these pathways, combined with quartz in a grey finish, providing enhanced traction and safety for personnel accessing rooftop areas, especially during wet or inclement weather.
The Need of Non-Slip Pathway
Non-slip pathways are a critical feature for roofs that require regular access for inspections, maintenance, or repairs. Rooftops can become slippery due to rain, snow, or condensation, posing a serious risk to personnel. By incorporating a textured, durable coating in high-traffic areas, these pathways significantly reduce the likelihood of slips and falls, ensuring a safer working environment. This is particularly important in a facility serving seniors, as it minimizes potential liabilities and ensures compliance with safety standards.
Benefits of Our Application Methods
This type of application offers numerous benefits, including enhanced waterproofing that protects the roof from leaks and weather-related damage, extending its lifespan significantly. The durable silicone coating reflects UV rays, reducing heat absorption and contributing to energy efficiency for the building. Additionally, the inclusion of no-slip pathways not only ensures safety for maintenance personnel but also minimizes the risk of accidents, which is crucial for liability and long-term operational efficiency. These upgrades collectively enhance the functionality, safety, and durability of the facility’s roof, providing peace of mind for residents and staff alike.
