Shelter From the Summer Storms: A Waterproofing Guide, with a Twist
With summer just around the corner, the inevitable annual spectacle of summer spells, sizzling sunsets, and of course, the notorious Oklahoma summer storms will soon take center stage. To keep your home comfortable, dry, and safe amidst this glorious seasonal ballet, having a sturdy, waterproof roof is not just a priority; it’s a necessity. And nowhere is this wisdom better understood and put into use than at OKC Roofers.
At OKC Roofers, we’re not just putting roofs over your heads; we’re bringing innovation to the age-old craft and transforming houses into havens. Here, a roofer isn’t just some guy with a toolbox, he’s an artist, masterfully blending function with aesthetics, providing waterproofing solutions aesthetical enough to make your roof the envy of every passerby.
We employ state-of-the-art waterproofing methods such as elastomeric roof coatings that not only waterproof but also reflect sunrays, keeping your home cool throughout the scorching Oklahoma summer. Adapting to the needs of the environment, our eco-friendly EDPM roofs use a synthetic rubber waterproof membrane, a nod to our commitment to sustainability, ideal for flat or low-slope roofs.
The Anatomy of Our Summer Storm-Proof Systems: A Roof Down to the Last Detail
As the leading roofer service in Oklahoma City, it’s not just the broad strokes we focus on; it’s the detail too. It’s going beyond just waterproofing the roof, to ensuring every nook, cranny, and crevice is impermeable to even the worst Oklahoma has to offer.
Here’s how we do it: The magic starts with built-up roofing (BUR) systems, a time-tested approach involving multiple plies of roof felts laminated together with bitumen. This kind of roof’s inherent redundancy provides excellent waterproofing, and, coupled with proper design and installation, gives you superior wind uplift resistance.
But as we always say at OKC Roofers, the proof is in the details. We make sure your roofing installation includes the application of a roof mastic seal at critical intersections and terminations—a typically overlooked but important step in achieving a truly waterproof system. Then, for the cherry on top, we offer an innovative system of protective roof coatings that provide an additional layer of waterproofing while also reflecting harmful UV rays.

Frequently Asked Roofs… ahem, Questions to OKC Roofers
So, you’ve got queries? We’ve got clarity. Let’s navigate through some of the frequently asked questions when it comes to waterproofing your roof with OKC Roofers.
Perhaps, the most common question pertains to urgency. Do you really need to waterproof your roof before summer storms roll around? Absolutely, no question about it! Water damage is known to cause interior leaks, decay roof structures, raise energy bills, and is overall a thunderous headache. Waterproofing helps mitigate these concerns and ensures your roof lives a long, healthy life.

Finally, an important question that needs answering – What do you need to do to prepare your home for the waterproofing project? Surprisingly, very little! OKC Roofers aim to make the conversion process as painless as possible for homeowners. However, trimming overhanging tree branches and removing any debris from the roof would be much appreciated!
