Restoration without disruption

By Dani Sheehan.

APOC’s liquid-applied membrane provided a leak-free solution for a working fire station.

When the roof on a 10,000 square-foot fire station in Santa Clarita, California, started leaking, AceTek Roofing decided to restore the existing system instead of a complete roof replacement. With the building in active use and a full replacement requiring downtime, they chose APOC’s high-performance silicone restoration system and delivered a durable, cost-effective solution without disruption.

The problem: A granulated APP roof showing signs of failure, multiple leaks and complex detailing including skylights, HVAC units and penetrations.

The solution: AceTek Roofing used a full APOC system to restore performance and extend the roof’s life without a tear-off.

• APOC 581 Silicone Roof Patch sealed all leaks with maximum flexibility and ponding water resistance.
• APOC 583 Armor-Base Primer ensured a clean, even surface with its bleed-blocking technology, which is critical for maintaining a bright white finish.
• APOC 585 Armor Flex Silicone Coating completed the system with a seamless, waterproof membrane that reflects UV rays, lowers rooftop temperatures and cures fast.

Why it worked: This fluid-applied silicone system created a monolithic, watertight seal across the entire roof. Unlike a traditional re-roof, there was no need for tear-off or occupant relocation. The fire station stayed operational during the project and the new reflective surface helps cut cooling costs and reduce long-term maintenance.

Results that matter:

• Fully restored watertight roof
• Lower internal temperatures and utility costs
• Extended roof life without tear-off
• Reduced future maintenance expenses
• Peace of mind with APOC’s labor and material warranty
