__TOC__

== Flat & Low-Slope Commercial Roofs ==

Most commercial buildings use [[Flat Roofs|flat or low-slope roofs]] finished with [[Single-Ply Roofing Membranes|single-ply membranes]], [[Modified Bitumen Roofing|modified bitumen]], or [[Built-Up Roofing|built-up]] systems. These field photos show membrane surfaces, parapet edges, seams, and rooftop equipment on real [[Commercial Roofing|commercial roofing]] projects.

== Built-Up & Ballasted Gravel Roofs ==

[[Built-Up Roofing|Built-up roofs (BUR)]] layer bitumen and reinforcing felts, often finished with loose gravel ballast that protects the membrane from UV. The photos below show ballasted surfaces, penetrations, and edge details.

== Roof Details: Drains, Vents, Flashing & Chimneys ==

Close-up details that determine whether a roof stays watertight — roof drains and scuppers, plumbing vent boots, metal flashing and parapet coping, and chimney terminations. Detail failures are a leading source of [[Common Roof Problems|common roof problems]].

== Ponding Water & Drainage Problems ==

Standing or [[Common Roof Problems|ponding water]] is a leading cause of low-slope roof failure: it accelerates membrane breakdown and overloads the deck. These photos document drainage problems on flat roofs.
