Mold is a tenacious, unwelcome house guest. It climbs up bathroom walls, invades carpet and infests drywall. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, six varieties of household mold are common, and three can produce toxins. The CDC linked one of them, stachybotrys atra, to 10 cases of lung disorder in infants five years ago and 100 cases since. Unfortunately, it's impossible for homeowners to distinguish between toxic and the benign molds - they all look like black or gray sooty patches.
Framing
Our Sprayed-in-Place Polyurethane Foam Roofing Systems weigh about 1/10th of conventional built-up roofing systems without adding too much weight to existing framing members, thus reducing costly tear-offs. No heavy ballast is required with PUF roofs. Typical PUF roofs weigh only 50lb per 100 square feet compared to ballasted roofs weighing in at up to 1000 lb. per 100 square feet.
Our sprayed in place Polyurethane foam Roofing Systems are energy saving solutions to satisfy your roofing requirements (new or Retro-Fit).
Residential Roof Replacement/Installation
WSC, Inc. personnel are highly experienced in the field of fluid applied spray coatings, including urethanes, elastomeric coatings, vapor barriers, 100% solids spray coatings, epoxies and other applications where the mechanic must be highly trained in order to guarantee proper placement of the materials. Please visit our urethane page for information on spray in place roofing.
WSC, Inc. personnel have extensive experience performing all types of asbestos abatement projects, including pipe and boiler insulation, floor covering, fireproofing and sprayed acoustical materials.
Caulking
Repairs are easy because of the close cell formulation of the polyurethane foam which allows for quicker leak repairs. Periodic "recoating" can assure the greatest life cycle value. Exposed membrane inspections are quick and easy. Most urethane elastomeric top coats can be repaired by staff maintenance using urethane caulking.
