Why a $X replacement
wasn't the answer.
Bedford Crossing, a 26,000 sq ft retail plaza on Bedford Street in Bridgewater, was leaking badly. Water was coming through seams into multiple tenant spaces during heavy rain, and drains were backing up and causing further damage. The anchor tenant, Ocean State Job Lot, had stained ceiling tiles and threatened not to renew its lease for the next five years. Tear-off bids for EPDM or TPO ranged from $400,000 to $500,000, and the patchwork repairs the ownership had been paying for were not solving the problem.

Assessment to warranty
in A single mobilization.
Roof & Drainage Assessment
Evaluation of the existing PVC membrane identified failed seams throughout the field and the drainage failures behind the standing water and interior damage.
Drain Repair
Roof drains were repaired to restore positive drainage before any coating work began — addressing the cause of the backups rather than coating over them.
Seam Reinforcement
Every failed seam across the 26,000 sq ft field was reinforced to create a sound substrate for the restoration system.
GACO S4200 Application & Warranty
A full GACO S4200 silicone restoration system was applied as seamless waterproof protection over the existing roof, registered for a 20-year Holcim GACO No Dollar Limit warranty.
