Flat Roof Repair in Downtown Bayonne: what actually fails

Broadway's flat roofs include a good share of older built-up roofing. Repairing it means matching the system that is there, keeping the drains running for the building, and saying plainly when the roof is at the end of its life.

The Broadway corridor, the city's commercial and civic spine running north to south.

  • Older built-up roofing and its layers

Note 01Is standing water on a flat roof a problem?

Not if it clears within a day or two of rain. Water still sitting days later is a seam being tested every hour, and it usually means the drain is blocked or not at the low point. In winter the same hollow fills with ice.

Note 02Why do flat roofs in Bayonne leak?

Standing water, freeze-thaw, clogged drains and debris, according to roofers who work the city, and most leaks start at the penetrations and the parapets rather than in the open roof. On an older roof, water trapped between layers adds to it.

Note 03How much would it cost to repair a flat roof?

Within Bayonne's published repair ranges: about $350 to $800 for a small leak, and $500 to $2,000 for most bigger repairs such as a run of seam or a parapet re-flashed. The core comes first, so you are not paying to patch a roof that cannot hold a patch.
