Filling an indentation on a flat roof
 

The roof in question is mineral roll roofing over a sunroom. It has
been in place for many years and regularly receives a new coating of
brushable roof sealer.
My question: There are a couple of places where the roof puddles
badly, and historically these have been the source of leaks if I do
not recoat on almost an annual basis. I would like to level these
indentations. I had thought of using trowlable roofing cement but
really would like something pourable, which would dry hard and could
be then coated with roof sealer.
Is there anything petroleum or non-petroleum based that might
work? I have considered liquid fiberglass, floor leveler, etc but
thought I should ask the experts.
Thanks for your help.

I would get a roofer in to do a tear off, repace what's sagging so you
have a flat roof again, and cover with the new rubberized stuff.
Probably be cheaper in the long run than getting up there all the time
and horsing around with fixes. BTDT.
Just the "peace of mind" might make it worth it.

Interesting ideas...
I think the idea of using old shingles would work just fine and
build the dent up faster then the fiberglass screen.
I will forever regret using the word "expert"...:)
Thanks!

Red does joke a bit.

At least put some roof cement down and between the layers.

I have a similar problem with two garage roofs.

I heard a suggestion about cement using using something like polystyrene
peanuts as aggregate (to reduce the weight), but I haven't tried is since I
don't have the recipe.

If anyone's heard of such a concoction, let me know.

Cost is soon forgotten...quality is long remembered.

Where the half ass repair came from:

On one of those NC HUD-Wrecks I redid, there was some sagging in an area of
a regular plywood and shingle roof. I had to square it away. Pulled
shingles off and below that was a valley full of shingles used to build it
up to hide the evidence. When the fillers were removed the edges of some of
the plywood were damn near off the truss. Yea, I fixed it with new
sheathing. Didn't just add some more in.

At least put some roof cement down and between the layers.

Yea, don't wanna see a spot rising like some huge boil on a hot day when
the air between the layers expands.

Flat roofs leak. Moving the low spots around by making some of them
higher won't stop that. The guy who invented flat roofs should be shot,
slowly.

Wrong. In the right area they work fine and well if they are constructed
properly.

BS. You never lived in New Mexico.

Anyway, same could be said about pitched roofs. I've had the roofing
company out here 5 times to fix the same problem.
