How to fix leaks in a Tar & Gravel roof?
Hi everyone, I have a property that has been recently purchased. The
building is quite old, approximately 100 years old. The property has a flat roof section measuring 30x40 feet. The roofing type is tar and gravel. During the recent spring season, rain has penetrated in certain sections to leak into the commercial tenant below. I have had a couple roofing specialists come in, and all have recommended on re-roofing with a torch on roof. Now that can get quite expensive. Since its only a couple holes causing the leaks, can i not: 1. Scrape up all the rocks 2. Plaster a good coat of new tar all over the roof 3. Re-spread all the rocks to heal the problem? If so, are there any recommendations on types of tar to do this? Any insght would be appreciated as I am unfamiliar with roofing options. |
