Roof Waterproofing in South Lake Tahoe, California

The snow melt in South Lake Tahoe 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 South Lake Tahoe protects the flat roofs and the low-slope additions.

Why South Lake Tahoe Roofs Need Waterproofing

• The flat roof and the low slope — the low slope holds the water and the membrane needs the seal
• The snow melt — the spring melt runs off and 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 freeze-thaw cycles — the expansion and the contraction stress the membrane

How We Waterproof Roofs in South Lake Tahoe

1. Inspect the roof — check the condition, the cracks, and the leaks
2. Clean the surface — the power wash removes the dirt, the debris, and the algae
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 South Lake Tahoe

• Check the waterproofing each spring — the snow melt reveals the gaps
• Check for the ponding water — the standing water degrades the membrane
• Clear the pine needles and the debris — the debris traps the moisture
• Recoat every 5 to 10 years — the membrane wears and needs the renewal

Expert tip: in South Lake Tahoe, 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.
