Low-slope sections, drains and aging buildings
Many Tamarac buildings combine pitched roofs with flat or low-slope sections over porches, walkways and entries. Flat roofs shed water slowly and depend on working drains, sound seams and tight flashing. After days of heavy rain, a small ponding area can turn into a leak, and mineral surface wear shows up as bare patches.
Tamarac sits between busy roads such as Commercial Boulevard and University Drive, and many of its buildings date from the decades when the city filled in. Over the years, sealant and flashing at walls, vents and air conditioning curbs wear out. Regular inspections catch those details before they become stained ceilings.
