Question 1

What is involved in a roof installation service?

Accepted Answer

The roof installation service involves implementing a high-performance and durable waterproofing system adapted to the specific needs of your building. Whether for new construction or a complete replacement of an existing roof, professional installation is essential to ensure protection, energy efficiency, and longevity of your property.

Question 2

What are the benefits of a properly installed roof?

Accepted Answer

A well-installed roof acts as the first line of defense against bad weather, temperature variations, and humidity. It also contributes to the interior comfort of the building by limiting heat loss and ensuring good rainwater management. A proper installation helps prevent water infiltration, ensures optimal energy performance, reduces long-term maintenance needs, extends the roof's lifespan, and respects manufacturer requirements and warranties.

Question 3

What is elastomer membrane?

Accepted Answer

Elastomer membrane is widely used for flat or low-slope roofs. Known for its durability, flexibility, and resistance to harsh climatic conditions, it is a reliable solution for effectively protecting your building against water infiltration. Composed of modified bitumen and reinforced with a backing (usually polyester or fiberglass), elastomer membrane is designed to withstand temperature variations, UV rays, and freeze-thaw cycles common in Quebec's climate.

Question 4

What does roof repair service include?

Accepted Answer

Our roof repair service aims to quickly and effectively correct damage that could compromise the waterproofing, safety, and performance of your building. Whether it's water infiltration, damage caused by weather, or normal wear and tear of materials, prompt intervention limits damage and avoids more significant renovation work. Our interventions can include repairing or replacing damaged membrane sections, redoing waterproofing joints, correcting defective flashings, sealing cracks or infiltration points, repairing sagging or damaged areas, and adjusting drainage elements.

Question 5

Why is it important to act quickly with roof damage?

Accepted Answer

A damaged roof can lead to water infiltration, damage to insulation or structure, mold formation, loss of energy efficiency, and higher repair costs in the long run. By intervening as soon as a problem appears, you protect your building from further damage and extend the life of your roof.

Question 6

What is thermography inspection?

Accepted Answer

Infrared thermography allows for the assessment of a roof's condition without the need for openings or invasive work. Using a thermal camera, it is possible to detect temperature variations on the roof surface and identify problems invisible to the naked eye. Thermography relies on capturing infrared radiation emitted by materials, as different materials store and release heat differently. When a roof has water infiltration, moisture trapped in the insulation, or a waterproofing defect, these areas react differently to temperature variations. The thermal camera highlights these differences in colored images, allowing the inspector to precisely target at-risk areas.
