Drain Catch Basins eliminates 90% of FLAT ROOF LEAKS - a Must have for Commercial Roofs
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
All commercial flat roofs have 1 thing in common, drains. if the drain is not functional, then it causes leaks, eventually a replacement. Installing a catch basin will eliminate most of all flat roof issues.
A catch basin collects debris from the entire roof in a small designated area. But, that is not all. Because the drain outlet is several inches lower than the roof, it allows water to flow out freely, without flooding the entire surface, even with all the debris in the basin.
This is a very important part of any flat roof.

Mister, you have such a reasonable and practical mindset that even tho my flat roof issues have never been addressed by any of your previous videos, I subscripted. THIS video will EXACTLY solve my problem. You can sleep week tonite that one person is celebrating you and is very appreciative of the time it takes to make & edit these videos.
You have great knowledge, can’t believe they used no underlay and also no primer on the board at all. Big no no. in the uk we call basins, sumps, always a great way to stop ponding

Never ever use mdf boards for ur roofing nor anywhere that is susceptible to water exposure. For the roof to be properly repaired, all the mdf boards have to be taken out and replaced with plywood that is water resistant. Then put base and retorch the modified bitumen

That is the entire roof. If you will pay, I'll do it, np
Have you ever heard of asphalt primer you should have Prime the inside of that drain Bowl
Yeah. Every time we did hot tar we always did 4 ply of base layers lol

yep
So much for a compression ring on that drain
are those bullet casings?
Can you lower and install a new drain on a flat roof without redoing the entire roof.
Where can i find someone to fix my drain in Pittsburgh
To save some time in cutting out insulation get a hackzall . Instead of heating up a trowel . Much quicker

you mean a saws-all, reciprocating saw? That could work, but what we did work pretty good and fast. The styrofoam melts like butter

Fortunately the roof is pitch. but you are right, there are many leaks. He could not afford it at the time, and I still don't think he can. It is a big roof
You never put SBS directly over EPS . There must be a recovery board or densedeck underneath . smh

You got something wrong. You think the granulated Torch Down is SBS, wrong! You have too little experience. This is a Torch Down APP 180 I used to and the existing roof is a APP 160, no ceramic granules. Because you are so used to use the cheaper Torch Down APP 160 you assume that the Granulated surface of what I use is SBS.
This will leak within 2 years.
That will do nothing but cause problems. This is all wrong.Any actions we take, there is a reaction. Long-term This will be detrimental to the roof.
