Qualifying an existing commercial roof for a fluid-applied system can involve evaluating the roof’s overall condition, moisture content, structural integrity, attachment, drainage, and compatibility with the proposed coating. This typically includes a visual inspection, core cuts or moisture scans, adhesion testing, and assessment of any saturated insulation or deteriorated components that must be repaired or replaced. This process is important because fluid-applied systems rely on a sound, dry, and stable substrate. Thorough investigation on the front end prevents issues on the back end.
Surface preparation is critical for a fluid-applied roof system because the coating relies on full adhesion to perform properly. The process typically includes repairing damaged areas, removing contaminants (dirt, oils, loose materials), drying the surface, and sometimes applying a compatible primer to ensure strong bonding. Proper preparation prevents adhesion failures, blistering, and premature wear, ensuring the roof restoration achieves its intended waterproofing performance and service life.

Now the fun begins! Applying a fluid-applied roof system to an existing commercial roof includes reinforcing seams, fasteners, & penetrations by either embedding a polyester fabric or using an elastomeric sealant to add strength, flexibility, and durability to the main leak points. The liquid coating is then applied—by spray or roller—in one or more layers to achieve the specified thickness per manufacturer’s requirements. Once cured, the new fluid-applied system forms a seamless, fully adhered waterproof membrane designed to protect and extend the life of your existing roof.
