The 15 year old BUR roof at Los Alamos Schools Canyon Complex had multiple leaks caused by roof blisters and cracks. Due to the heavy snow at the schools, these leaks posed a serious priority. To prevent further roof damage, potential costly interior damage, and premature roof failure corrective repairs were needed immediately. Our experienced RoofCARE team jumped into action and with corrective repairs was successful in producing a maintainable leak free solution.
