Mike Lamb Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 I thought this was BUR but now I'm thinking it's mod bit that someone has mopped with asphalt. What do think?

Bill Kibbel Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Could be, but I don't know why the hot coat. Fingernail pinch test the edge of a seam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Fabry Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 BUR but the laps are wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kogel Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Seems a bit thin for mod bit seams. The seams seem thin, a bit, for bit. [] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 I think it's mod bit with a flood coat. This is one of those weird Chicago things with no explanation. I see it occasionally. When MB started getting market penetration, morons would do all sorts of weird things with it. They didn't know what to do with it. Tar pots ruled for so many years, folks couldn't give them up. 25 years ago, I saw a lot of mod bit getting hot mopped instead of torched. The flood coat was another variation.

mjr6550 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 My vote is hot mopped MBR. To me the seems are too thick to be BUR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelfernandez085 Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 This seems to be BUR - Built Up Roofing but with wrong sweeps & installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erby Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 A better question. Where the hell are you that there's snow on the roof in August? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erby Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Yeah, Les, sometimes it helps if you actually read the dates on the original post before responding. I've seen a few threads come back to life 8 - 10 years after the original post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
