Universal Roof & Contracting Stands Behind Hydro-Stop Waterproofing Products
Orlando, FL (PRWEB) September 03, 2013 -- When it comes to protecting your home against wind-driven rain and the relentless sun, one Florida contractor consistently turns to a product that always delivers. Universal Roof & Contracting professional Jared Mellick relies on Hydro-Stop Roof and Wall Waterproofing Systems to protect his clients’ homes and businesses from leaks and subsequent damage. After using Hydro-Stop for seventeen years, he has the satisfied clients to prove it.
Case Study #1
Client has a 12X15 foot Florida room with a paneled roof that leaks between the panels on the outside of the roof. Each year the client goes up on the roof to take out all the old caulking, re-caulk and cool seal the roof, but invariably before the year is over, it is leaking again. Since caulk eventually dries out and begins to peel from the surface, it is not an ideal solution. By applying Hydro-Stop PremiumCoat System to the panel roof, it adheres right over the top of the insulated pan roof, eliminating gaps and leaks.
Case Study #2
Client has a second story balcony with an outdoor patio, which serves as the roof of the first story. The concrete board flooring is not waterproof, so it needs a waterproofing material that also serves as a decorative piece. By applying BarrierGuard for a leak-proof wall and TrafficCoat for a slip-resistant deck, they can be textured so that it looks like tile or slate with different colors to choose from.
What is Hydro-Stop?
Hydro-Stop is a fluid-applied roofing material that is fabric-reinforced. It’s a superb solution for a lot of waterproofing issues, such as leaking patios, low pitch and flat roofs, typical Florida rooms, or any building exterior for protecting windows, door openings, stucco and foundation materials against wind driven rain. Once applied, it is guaranteed that the surface will never leak again. It can be used for residential and commercial purposes.
Hydro-Stop offers a variety of products for waterproofing solutions such as metal roof waterproofing and cooling, parapet wall waterproofing, low-sloped roof waterproofing, flashing of all types, concrete waterproofing, plywood waterproofing, deck waterproofing, and exterior wall waterproofing.
Other features include:
• Ultraviolet and Infrared resistant for added durability
• High Albedo reduces heat and lowers energy costs
• Resistant to acid rain and chemical pollutants
• 100% adhesion of system to substrate
• Wide range of colors provides beautiful architectural finish
• Nontoxic formulation is safe to install
Certification & Warranty
Hydro-Stop delivers sustainable roofing and waterproofing solutions that won’t come out of warranty until you tear the building down. Install a Hydro-Stop roof system, and simply maintain roof surface and recoat as needed to extend the warranty – literally for the life of the building.
Hydro-Stop certification seminars provide training based on state building codes. Upon completion of the seminar, Hydro-Stop issues an “Approved Applicator” certificate, which is a required document when filing for building permits & manufacturer’s warranties. Hydro-Stop is not available to the regular consumer, but any contractor could obtain and install it. However, if they are not a Hydro-Stop -certified “Approved Applicator”, it is not covered under warranty.
Jared Mellick was certified as an Approved Hydro-Stop Applicator in 1997. He and other Universal Roof & Contracting Approved Hydro-Stop Applicators have performed hundreds of Hydro-Stop roof repairs and several full roofs over the years. There have been ZERO cases of manufacturer defects and virtually NO repair callbacks. This year so far, Jared has assisted with cases on at least six different product manufacturers - but not Hydro-Stop. The Hydro-Stop product line is successful because it has a long history of working side by side with contractors, with strong field service as part of an integral commitment to customer service.
Testimonial
Lee & Beryl McColligan’s Orlando home suffered major roof damage from Hurricane Charley in 2004. The hurricane "blew the roof off" part of the house, and then a tree fell into the family room. Universal Roof & Contracting replaced the shingle roof on the main portion of their home, and then applied the Hydro-Stop roofing system on their family room and porch addition that had been peeled off by the storm. In the years since, they have had absolutely no issues with the roof in spite of the Florida rainy seasons with plenty of wind-driven-rain. Beryl says, "it has handled it well."
