Hot Mop Commercial Roof Cracking and Failing Oak Ridge TN

Oak Ridge,  TN
378 Like Unlike

A Hot mop roof is an older style of roofing material.  Because of the heat required to install this roofing material, it can sometimes catch buildings on fire.  The insurance risk is much greater to install this type of roof and most roofers do not attempt to work with hot mop roof or any hot process roofing materials.  This old hot mop roof is cracking and failing Oak Ridge, TN.

This old hot mop commercial roof is in such bad shape that it is has caused the drains to clog up.  These roof drains are clogged with roofing materials that have separated.

This old commercial roof has got to be replaced.  It is in very poor condition.  We are proposing what is called a single ply roof, like a TPO type of roof.  This will resolve the problem for this customer so they don’t have roofing problems in the future.
