Hi all, seeking for some opinions here before I pull the trigger.

Some of you might remember my old thread "Old house to dream house".

My house has been facing leaking issues for years and I recently stumbled upon this recommendation.

From what I gather, they extensively use torch on membrane to fix all issues (whether it is cement, steel roof, roof tiles, etc). I've heard of torch on membrane and its application on cement slabs only usually.

I've actually contacted them for a quotation, which came to over RM20k. Basically almost "wrapping" all four corners of my roof + rolling down over required spots. The logic makes sense, i.e. they don't just patch the problematic area, but always start from the top of where the water would flow.

Here's the link to their FB page. They got tons of tiktok videos too.

Example of the concept (mine is a metal deck roof as well):

After almost 7 years of my massive renovation (meant to be my dream home), it has been anything but. I've done countless fixes over the years, but as it rains harder and harder each year, old spots are reopening and new spots are forming.

I've accepted this partially due to bad workmanship, but alarmingly a design flaw on the roof which I've had limited ability to supervise during construction 7 years ago.

I am hoping this is my "final" trigger before I pull it, and hope to finally put my mental torture to an end.

Do share your experience on this company, if you have engaged them before & this method. Happy to hear your thoughts, perhaps in 7 years there are new technologies and methods I'm not aware of.

Thanks sifus. smile.gif

Oh, leaking from a metal deck? mind sharing the design flaw? I always thought metal decks are more leak resistant.

Sorry I have no experience with torch on.
