Building I bought has a flat roof. It seems in good shape so far. It was replaced in 1994. I would like to keep it in good shape, since it would have to be really expensive to replace it, and I'm about broke after buying the building. It looks like most of it is kinda like roll roofing and is glued down-
The part of roof shown above is nice, as it is slopped so the water runs to the drains pretty good. As you can see, hardly any water sitting. However on the other wings of the building, the water is sitting, and it won't run to the drains. I kind of think that isn't good...it a inch or two deep in parts...how would I go about fixing that?
Also, any other advice on how to prolong the life of the roof would be really appreciated...how many years would a roof like this last? I'm not sure, but I think it had the original roof on it when the building was built (1950 & 1956), till it was replaced in '94.
Thanks!
