Commercial BUR, Tar & Gravel
Flat Roof Repair
in Orange County and Ventura County
Experienced Built-Up Roofing Specialists
Pacific Roofing Systems helps commercial property managers, building owners, HOAs, retail centers, industrial facilities, and office properties protect aging built-up roofing systems with expert inspection, repair, restoration, and replacement planning.
Built-up roofing, often called BUR, tar-and-gravel roofing, or hot asphalt roofing, has protected commercial flat and low-slope buildings for decades. When properly installed and maintained, a BUR system provides dependable waterproofing, strong weather resistance, and excellent protection against Southern California sun exposure.
However, as these roofs age, they require knowledgeable evaluation. Gravel displacement, exposed asphalt, ponding water, flashing deterioration, splits, blisters, open seams, clogged drains, and roof penetrations can all lead to leaks or premature system failure if not addressed correctly.
Commercial Roof Repairs That Protect Your Property
Pacific Roofing Systems approaches BUR roof repair with the needs of experienced property managers in mind: accurate diagnosis, practical recommendations, clear communication, and work performed with minimal disruption to tenants, employees, customers, and building operations.
Our team inspects the full roof assembly, not just the visible leak location. Water can travel beneath layers before appearing inside the building, so proper investigation is essential. We evaluate roof surfacing, membrane condition, drainage, edge metal, parapet walls, flashings, penetrations, equipment curbs, skylights, vents, and prior repair areas before recommending the best solution.
Common BUR and Tar & Gravel Roof Problems
- Leaks around HVAC units, vents, drains, skylights, and roof penetrations
- Cracked, dried, or exposed asphalt caused by UV exposure
- Gravel loss that leaves the waterproofing layers vulnerable
- Ponding water caused by poor drainage or roof settlement
- Blisters, ridges, splits, or soft areas in the roofing membrane
- Deteriorated flashing at walls, curbs, edges, and parapets
- Damage from foot traffic, service contractors, vandalism, or rooftop equipment
- Previous patchwork that no longer provides reliable protection
Repair, Restore, or Replace?
Not every aging tar and gravel roof needs immediate replacement. In many cases, targeted repairs, drainage corrections, flashing improvements, maintenance, or restoration may extend the useful life of the roof and help property managers plan capital expenses more strategically.
When a roof is too deteriorated for repair to be cost-effective, Pacific Roofing Systems provides honest replacement guidance. We explain the condition of the existing roof, the risks of delaying work, available roofing system options, expected performance, maintenance considerations, and budget factors so you can make a confident decision.
