How long does a rooftop deck waterproofing membrane last?
Most liquid-applied and torch-down waterproofing membranes on residential flat roofs last 15-20 years. After that, the membrane becomes brittle and starts to crack at seams and penetrations. We assess the existing membrane condition before recommending repair or full replacement. Building new decking over a failing membrane is the most common and most expensive mistake on rooftop projects.
Can my existing flat roof hold the weight of a rooftop deck?
Most California flat roofs are designed to a live load that includes deck use, but older construction from the 1950s through 1970s should be structurally assessed before adding a deck. We coordinate a structural review when the building age or design raises questions, and we include that assessment in the project scope before any materials are ordered.
