Roof Waterproofing in San Marcos, California

The winter rain in San Marcos finds every gap in the flat roof and the low slope. The waterproof membrane seals the surface and the water runs off. Roof waterproofing in San Marcos protects the flat roofs and the low-slope additions.

Why San Marcos Roofs Need Waterproofing

• The flat roof and the low slope — the low slope holds the water and the membrane needs the seal
• The winter rain — the steady rain from November through March tests the seals
• The garage and the addition roofs — the flat roofs are the common leak point
• The ponding water — the standing water degrades the membrane and the seal
• The inland heat — the heat and the UV dry out the sealant and the membrane

How We Waterproof Roofs in San Marcos

1. Inspect the roof — check the condition, the cracks, and the leaks
2. Clean the surface — the power wash removes the dust and the debris
3. Repair the damage — patch the cracks, the blisters, and the seams
4. Apply the primer — the primer bonds the waterproofing to the surface
5. Apply the waterproof membrane — the liquid or the sheet membrane in the manufacturer’s pattern
6. Inspect the coverage — check the thickness and the uniformity

Preventing Roof Problems in San Marcos

• Check the waterproofing each spring — the winter rain reveals the gaps
• Check for the ponding water — the standing water degrades the membrane
• Clear the dust and the debris — the Santa Ana wind blows the dust up
• Recoat every 5 to 10 years — the membrane wears and needs the renewal

Expert tip: in San Marcos, the waterproofing is about the preparation. The surface needs to be clean and the cracks need to be patched before the membrane goes on. The prep work determines the life of the waterproofing.
