Troubleshooting

Poor adhesion of the cap sheet to the substrate.

Ensure the surface is properly primed and dry. Apply the torch evenly across the underside of the cap sheet.

Bubbles or blisters forming after installation.

Check for moisture trapped beneath the membrane and ensure the torch is heating evenly during installation.

Seams not properly sealed.

Re-torch the seams, ensuring sufficient overlap and proper melting of the bitumen to create a watertight seal.

Tears or punctures in the membrane.

Repair with a torch-on patching material, ensuring a good seal around the damaged area.
