Hello everyone,
my house and the roof were built in 1991 and are therefore 34 years old. A small part of my roof surface is covered with bitumen sheets. The pitch angle is rather low, max. 2°. In addition, it is uneven, which causes standing puddles to form after rain.
When I bought the house two years ago, I quickly noticed that the bitumen roof is leaking. During heavy rainfalls, moisture penetrates into the underlying structure. A triple insulating coat last year provided temporary relief. Now in spring, the bitumen roof has become leaky again due to the frosty nights.
What would you recommend to provide a permanent solution? Is there something like a leveling compound for bitumen roofs that eliminates unevenness and at the same time seals the roof?
