I called a couple of different roofing dealers after I noticed some water pooling on the roof of the building… I manage the beach house building which has 24 units, then six of the apartments have a single living room and a single bathroom, then they are rented as efficiency units.
Six of the apartments have 2 living rooms and a single bathroom, and every one of us have a couple of small families in these apartments in addition to some single people or roommate situations.
The other 12 units in the beach house building are all three living room and 2 bathroom apartments. The beach house building is quite large! Most of the time all 24 units are rented and leased. I often have to deal with troubles inside of the apartments adore troubles with the air conditioner, radiator heaters, dishwashers, and garbage disposals. One of our tenants called me because she said there was water leaking down the window in her living area. The window is facing the street and it had not rained in many afternoons. The first thing I did was go up to the roof. I went to the section above the spot where the tenant was complaining about a water leak. There was a problem with the rubber asphalt roof. I could see there was a bubble and a small amount of water pulling at the area. I immediately called the commercial roofing contractor that handles all of our troubles. There should not have been a bubble in the rubber asphalt roof and I knew that was a sign of trouble, but after the contractor tore up section of the rubber asphalt roof, it was simple to see the leak.
