Built-Up Roofing
Providing Multiple Layers of Waterproof Protection
Providing Multiple Layers of Waterproof Protection
A built-up roofing system, also known as a BUR system, is a standard flat or low-sloped roof system regarded for its exceptional protection. Because of this, BUR has been a staple of commercial roofing for over 100 years. The experts at Elevated Contracting have vast experience in installing, repairing, replacing, and maintaining built-up roofs throughout Northern Virginia.
We install BUR systems by adding alternating layers of bitumen or tar and supporting roof materials over a waterproof built-up roof membrane on the roof deck. The redundant layering of BUR on flat roofs creates a water and weather-resistant roof. To prevent damage from UV rays or debris, built-up roof systems have a top layer of gravel or small stones.
Whether you’re looking to install a BUR system or need repairs, Elevated is here to help. We provide free inspections, estimates, and consultations to discuss your options and ensure you choose the best roofing for your business, building, and budget.
If storm damage or “act of god” perils claim your facility’s built-up roof system as a victim, you might be able to file an insurance claim to cover repairs or replacement. Elevated is one of northern Virginia’s few Haag-certified inspectors that can assess your roof and offer reliable guidance.
We know the last thing you want to deal with is filing an insurance claim while trying to continue business operations. If we suggest filing a claim, we act as your partner and handle your claim from start to finish. We even meet with your adjuster to ensure no damage or issues are overlooked during their inspection. Best of all, we perform all services within the scope of your policy so that your only out-of-pocket costs are your deductible.
Let Elevated handle your built-up roofing claims so that you can focus on your business.
One of the most significant advantages of BUR systems is the limited maintenance they require. However, low maintenance doesn’t mean maintenance-free. Elevated offers routine preventative maintenance services to help you realize a full built-up roof life expectancy and keep your system working at peak performance.
If neglected, built-up roofing can experience cracks, blisters, split joints, and water ponding. All of these issues lead to one thing—leaks. Elevated’s maintenance prevents these issues from becoming significant problems by identifying and addressing them early before they worsen.
