Over 100 Leaks Fixed With This Solution

Western Colloid 100 Leaks Fixed
March 4, 2022 at 9:00 a.m.

By Western Colloid. 

Learn which reinforcement products were used to fix up the roof of this dental services building. 

Pacific Dental Services was in serious need of a roof repair for their California headquarters. Rather than tearing off their existing roof and replacing it, Western Colloid provided another solution! 

The problem 

Located in Irvine, California, Pacific Dental Services found themselves with over 100 leaks in their 124,000-square-foot roof. In fact, the building owners thought that their only option was to tear off the existing EPDM (a synthetic rubber roofing membrane) and replace it with a similar product. 

The solution 

First, the owners hired a contractor to handle the repairs to their commercial roof in California. It was this contractor who suggested using our Fluid Applied Reinforced Roofing (FARR) as a solution. In fact, we offer systems that are fully tested and approved by FM for installations like this one. 

To begin, the contractor used a temporary fix to stop the leaks with our #800 Elastic Cement and polyester reinforcement products.  

Next, they continued with an extra layer of protection in the waterways and drains. 

Finally, they used our #298 asphalt emulsion with polyester reinforcement.  Once cured, the system was surfaced with our ElastaHyde acrylic coating

   

The results 

Thanks to our superior products, we were able to save 30 – 40% on the overall project costs by not removing the old roof and saving man-hours on the installation. Additionally, future savings will be enjoyed with their now energy-efficient white roof. They also avoided disruption to their employees from a lengthy roof removal and re-installation process. Plus, debris and landfill waste were at a minimum.
