What is Built-Up Roofing (BUR)?
Built-up roofing (BUR) is a multi-layer roofing system commonly used on flat and low-slope commercial buildings. Made up of alternating layers of bitumen and reinforcing materials, BUR systems provide long-lasting waterproof protection and can last 20 to 30 years with proper maintenance.
Built-Up Roofing Components
A typical BUR system includes a base sheet, reinforcing felt layers, bitumen, and a protective gravel surface or coating. Together, these layers help resist water intrusion, UV exposure, and wear from Phoenix’s extreme climate.

Signs Your Built-Up Roof Needs Repair
Phoenix’s intense UV exposure and seasonal storms can accelerate wear on built-up roofing systems. Common signs of damage include ponding water, cracked or blistered roofing materials, displaced gravel, damaged flashing, and membrane separation.
Inside the building, you may notice water stains, inconsistent indoor temperatures, or rising energy costs caused by a compromised roofing system. Regular roof inspections can help identify these issues before they lead to more extensive damage.
Emergency Repair Situations
Some roofing problems require immediate attention to prevent additional damage. Active leaks, significant membrane separation, and storm-related damage should be addressed as soon as possible. Right Way Roofing, Inc. provides 24/7 emergency roof repair services to protect your building and its occupants.
Preventive Maintenance Signs
Minor membrane wear, loose gravel, and small flashing issues do not require emergency services. Technicians can address early signs of deterioration during scheduled maintenance, helping extend the life of your built-up roof and avoid larger repairs later.
