Roof Recovery

A Recovery System is one where a second roof is installed on top of an existing one.

There are a few key criterion that need to be addressed in the design of a successful long-term recovery system including the ability of the structure to handle the additional dead-load as well as the crucial need to be sure that you do not trap any existing moisture in the system.

A roofing contractor might perform a full moisture scan of the existing materials to be sure that the existing roof is a suitable substrate for the new materials. Once the existing roof is checked for moisture, any surfacing is removed and a layer of insulation is attached through the existing roof and directly into the structural roof deck. At this point, you have a number of options available as for what you can use as the roofing and waterproofing layers.

Similar to a replacement system, you will ultimately choose from the four major product groups: Conventional Built-Up, Modified Bitumen Built-Up, Thermoplastic Single-Ply, and Thermoset Single-Ply.
