Waterproofing in Sunrise, FL
Flat and low-slope roof coatings, self-adhered membrane systems, and sealant renewal around penetrations — done before the wet season finds them. Stand-alone scope or moisture-control layer under a later rejuvenation.
What the service is
The honest read.
Waterproofing addresses the moisture path that flat and low-slope roofs handle differently than a pitched shingle roof. Water doesn't shed; it ponds, and it finds any seam, lap, or penetration that wasn't perfectly sealed on install. A waterproofing scope reseals those seams, lays a continuous membrane or coating across the field of the roof, and renews the sealants around every pipe boot, scupper, and HVAC penetration. It's the right call before ponding water works its way under a flashing seam and into the decking.
When a homeowner needs it
Common triggers.
- Standing water on a flat or low-slope section more than 48 hours after rain
- Interior staining that points to a specific flat-roof area
- Bubbling, alligatoring, or visible seam failure on an existing coating
- Active drip around an HVAC curb, scupper, or pipe boot on a flat section
- Aged modified-bitumen cap sheet at the end of its service life
Time and scope
A realistic schedule.
Most waterproofing scopes are completed in one to two days, depending on roof area and number of penetrations. We clean the substrate, repair any membrane damage, prime, then apply the coating system (or lay self-adhered membrane at the seams). Cure time is built into the schedule so the surface is walkable before the next rain event. As a stand-alone scope, the proposal names the system, the mil-thickness, and the seams addressed up front — no open-ended "we will see" pricing.
Honest scope
When rejuvenation isn’t the right fit
When rejuvenation isn’t the right fit
Most roofs are good candidates for rejuvenation — they just need cleaning, minor repairs, and a new sealant. But a few conditions are out of scope, and if we see any of them at inspection we’ll recommend the right fix instead.
- Rotting shingles, decking, or roof structure
- Badly curled or split shingles across a wide area — far past the cosmetic edge-lift the treatment can still save
- Structural or deck damage (sagging, soft spots, compromised framing)
- Major missing shingles from wind, storm, or long-deferred repair
We’re Ed Roofing — Sunrise-based, family-run. If any of these show up at our free inspection, we’ll recommend repair or full replacement — not push rejuvenation you don’t need.
