Ponding water? No problem at all!

Jan Bagnall - Perfecting and Maintaining Low-slope Roofs - PODCAST TRANSCRIPT
February 22, 2024 at 6:00 a.m.

By Dani Sheehan. 

Learn about an exciting addition to the APOC family of commercial roofing products and how it easily solves the problem of ponding water on roofs. 

When it comes to low-slope roof maintenance, one of the biggest concerns is mitigating ponding water in areas where heavy rain is likely. In a recent episode of CoatingsCast, Heidi J. Ellsworth sits down with Jan Bagnall from APOC to talk about an exciting, new commercial roofing product. Don’t miss this episode to learn about its benefits and why good drainage is important to the health of a roof. 

RoofSlope is a patented solution to solve the problem of ponding water on roofs by achieving positive roof slope on existing construction. This compound is excellent on new construction, but can be used in retrofit work as well, minimizing the costs associated with fixing slope-to-drain issues common on flat, commercial roofs.  

In many regions, it is against building code to have ponding water on the roof, but even where heavy rain isn’t as likely, Jan talks about the benefit of using a roof sloping product. He shares, “You look at how many commercial buildings have flat roofs and almost every one of them has some type of pond somewhere, and it’s so difficult to start tearing into the roof and trying to reframe the plywood, and tie it all back in. Whereas a roof sloping product on top of it that bonds to that roof is a way easier and a lot quicker fix.” 

He goes on to explain how RoofSlope works as a product: “It displaces the water. So, let’s say if you have a pond and it’s one inch deep and it’s four feet wide, you’ve got a high spot on each side of that pond and a low spot in the middle. So, you get a board, and you can screed [the product] across this four-foot pond it displaces that water and moves it somewhere else.”
