LeakMaster's Opinion

LeakMaster was a leader in switching flat roofs from the dreaded old hot tar kettle to the "torch welded" membrane, commonly known as "Brai." Today, few roofs are torch welded because of insurance regulations. The movement has been towards "self adhered" membranes, also referred to as "peel and stick."
Too bad, in my opinion, because the torched roofs worked well. The self adhered roofs have a tendency to unravel at the seams unless great pains are taken. It's safer to use them on roofs that have at least some kind of consistent slope, and don't have ponding water. Hopefully, as the adhesive technology improves this will become less an issue.

In any case, when either system leaks they can be fixed by rewelding the suspect seams. Or, we cover the seams with a fabric reinforced coating and re-granulate them to blend in with rest of the roof. Both ways work well.
