Hi Guys!
In this Bay city...most...practically all have a flat roof as this 80 year old house does. Most have the pea gravel on top. Whereas mine has what looks like a polyurathane or silver colour foam (no gravel).
I have been told that it is the newer way of doing roofs. However...today while up on the roof...i noticed that it is continues to develop small cracks.
I have been filling these small cracks with 'roof patch' a black tary stuff in a can ...using a putty knive...
I was told this was NOT the right stuff to use...to fill the cracks?
Would someone explain the pros and cons between the two types of roofing ...pea gravel vs. silver foam like... And since i have this silver roof ...what should i be using to patch these small cracks...what is done when you need to reroof this kind of roof?... Inotherwords do they just spray another layer of foam over the old stuff???
I can only see one drain spot where the roof grades down a little and drains the water out the side into a drain pipe running down the exterior wall...
And there is perhaps a small space between the ceiling...however i have not found any access to it...perhaps just a foot more or less...
Thanks!!! Your advice appreciated...! Starrider
