In this video, we discuss a flat roof remediation project, explaining the design and construction flaws that led to its failure within 5-6 years, including issues with materials, installation, and lack of proper insulation and air barriers. It then outlines the solutions, such as reframing parapets, installing continuous air barriers and tapered insulation, and using a self-adhering TPO membrane. We hope that this video provides an educational experience and useful insights for design professionals, contractors, and homeowners on how to properly design and construct flat roof assemblies the right way to prevent future problems.
