Roofing Solutions

The majority of leak problems in the marketplace today are the result of roof failures. Re-roofing is a huge business in North America but most of the major roofing contractors offer repairs that are similar to or exactly the same as the technologies that continue to fail. It is estimated that nearly fifty percent of building construction lawsuits relate to roofing problems. And, although the roofing industry’s benchmark for a successful performing roof is 20 years, most roofing systems need constant maintenance if not complete re-roofing within ten years.

Why use Turbo-Seal roofing system?

Our waterproofing material, Turbo Seal, is an effective alternative in re-roofing commercial structures. Our roofing system is a combination of Turbo Seal and Turbo Sheet plus protection board followed by ballast.

1. Self Healing: Is immune to inadvertent punctures/tears.
2. Flexible: Because it never cures, it responds to movement like skin, maintaining the integrity of the roof.
3. Environmentally Friendly: Turbo-Seal is 25% recycled tires; it is cold processed, which means no flames. It is also non-toxic and does not have any odor.
4. Monolithic: There are no seams in the roof for water to migrate under.
5. COST COMPETITIVE.

Instead of current technologies?

Built-up Tar and Gravel Roof

Failed Tar/Gravel Roof

1. History of unreliability: This system has been around since the mid-nineteenth century. Many failed roofs were designed this way.
2. Unhealthy: As the tar is heated toxic fumes are released into the atmosphere.
3. Difficult to repair: Once a leak occurs, it is nearly impossible to find the source of the leak since the water could be traveling underneath the felts.
4. Blisters can occur between felts due to trapped moisture and expansion of heat.
5. Does not handle roof movements. Will delaminate/tear over time since structures move hundreds of times daily.

Modified SBS Torch-Applied Membrane

1. Use of an open flame has caused numerous incidents.
2. Once damaged, the membrane will not heal itself.
3. Because of asphalt inconsistency, there are issues of the membranes not sticking together, causing leaks.

Single-Ply EPDM Membrane

Failed EPDM Roof

1. Although the polymer makes the membrane flexible, once there is a tear/damage to the membrane, it will not heal itself. Not favorable to foot traffic.
2. Problems with adhesion: Asphalt, over time, will harden and crack.
3. Subject to damage during construction and maintenance of rooftop equipment.
