Roof Waterproofing in Atwater, California

The rare but hard valley rain tests every roof, and the water finds the gaps. The waterproofing layer is what stands between the rain and the deck. Roof waterproofing in Atwater means sealing the vulnerable spots before the water gets through.

Where Atwater Roofs Need Waterproofing

• The valleys — the channels where the water concentrates
• The eaves — where the wind drives the water under
• The flashing — the metal at the chimney, the vents, and the walls
• Flat roof sections — where the water sits instead of shedding
• The penetrations — the pipes and the vents that puncture the roof

How Waterproofing Works in the Valley Climate

The underlayment is the first layer of defense. It sits under the shingles and catches the water that gets past the surface. On the valleys and the eaves, a self-sealing shield bonds to the deck and stops the water cold.

The coating is the second layer on flat roofs. The elastomeric or silicone coating seals the membrane and the seams, and the reflective surface handles the valley sun. Together the layers keep the deck dry.

• Check the flashing each spring — the heat dries the seals
• Keep the valleys clear — debris blocks the water channels
• Inspect after storms — the rain tests the waterproofing
• Re-coat flat roofs — the coating wears with the sun

Waterproofing tip: in Atwater, the valleys and the eaves get the shield. The water concentrates in the valleys, so that is where the self-sealing layer pays for itself.
