Substrate: Darby gum roofing sheets and metal flashing.
Customer Location: River Dam Authority, Vinita, OK
Application Date: August, 2005
Products:
Belzona® 3111 (Flexible Membrane)
Problem: A small collection trough around the 660' perimeter of the roof had mistakenly been "engineered" into the original installation. Water collected and eventually drained under the roof sheets toward the center of the building until it found a leak path onto the ceiling.
