Waterproofing your roof

Since roofs are continually exposed to damage and extreme weather events, it is essential to keep up with periodic roofing maintenance. There are so many ways to protect your roof, but adding a waterproof membrane is an excellent strategy for maintaining the entire facility.

Roof waterproofing acts as an extra layer added to your roof to guarantee no water, humidity, debris, or snow gets inside your building. It can also protect your facility, family, household items, and all your belongings. When you live in Texas, heavy rains, strong winds, and even snowstorms are part of the routine. Therefore, frequent storms will become a huge problem if your roof has not been properly waterproofed.

Steps to waterproof a roof:

1. Deep clean your roof to remove fungus, debris, oils, and dust.
2. Then, ensure the surface is fully dry and add a professional primer to improve the adhesion of the liquid membrane.
3. The contractor will apply the waterproof membrane onto your roof.

With the right materials and an experienced roofing contractor, waterproofing your roof is a simple project that will only take a few hours of application.

Unless you consider strategically placed buckets, bottles and mops are part of your home decoration, put enough emphasis on finding the proper waterproofing solution for your roof before the rainy season arrives.

A strong roof is your first line of defense against debris, extreme weather, and damage, so the waterproofing process must be done correctly.
