Porch Roof Repair in Passaic Park: what actually fails
Many of Passaic Park's historic homes have wraparound porches, and a wraparound has corners where two runs of porch roof meet. The corners collect water and leaves, so each run is checked for fall and each corner for standing water, along the whole wrap.
Passaic Park was developed from the 1890s and had its biggest building boom in the 1920s to 1940s, on curved streets such as Park Place and Passaic Avenue that follow the river, around the park that was once Third Ward Park.

What to do before anybody climbs a ladder
- Catch the water and photograph itA bucket under the drip, belongings moved, and a photograph of the stain before anything is touched. Keep clear of wet ceilings near a light fixture and switch that circuit off if it is safe to.
- Look at the low roof from a windowIf a back or porch window looks onto a flat roof, check for water still standing, a lifted edge or leaves heaped at the drain. Do not climb out onto it.

Call (973) 576-8084Note 01What is a porch roof usually made of?
Porch roofs with very little slope usually carry a membrane, such as modified bitumen or EPDM rubber; steeper porch roofs can carry shingles. Each is repaired in the material already there.
Note 02Can a porch roof be repaired without touching the main roof?
Usually. Only where the leak is at the joint with the house wall do the materials just above it need lifting, so the porch roof can be turned up under them.
Note 03Can you repair a wraparound porch roof in sections?
Yes. Each run and each corner is checked for fall, and only the parts that hold water or have failed are repaired.
