Another "Healthy" Roof In Lexington KY: Baptist Tower 86

About This

Eskola Roofing Project

For over half a century, the commercial roofing crew from Lexington, Kentucky, has been resolving some of the most complicated roofing issues around. The Baptist 86 Tower project is just one example of their expertise and ability to come up with innovative solutions for difficult roofing problems.

The Baptist Tower 86 is one of the tallest buildings in Elizabethtown, Tennessee, and home to Baptist Health – the largest healthcare organization in Kentucky with more than 300 patient beds.

The roof covering the 13500-square-foot was severely damaged after years of being pounded by storms. Water infiltration had caused extensive damage to the ceilings, walls, and flooring. Despite employing several repair methods and commercial roofing contractors, the leaks persisted.

After conducting a thorough roof investigation, Eskola Roofing found that the leaks were caused by a variety of variables, including imperfections in the concrete roof deck, water pooling, faulty roof drains, and water penetration through the roof material.

The best course of action was to remove the old roof and build a new garland-modified bitumen roofing system, which would deliver a robust waterproof seal and could withstand standing water.

During the renovation, they discovered that the building’s air intakes were on the top, which meant there was a possibility that the odor of the sealing material might be drawn into the hospital area. To accommodate the unique requirements of the hospital environment, they took measures to create a secure and odorless roofing installation by installing carbon filters on the building’s air intakes.

The roofing job on Baptist Tower 86 was finished in an impressive three months, and the structure has held up perfectly since. This difficult roofing project required creative thinking and skilled workmanship from the commercial roofers at Eskola in Lexington, Kentucky. They’re happy to have contributed to this project and assisted Baptist Health in providing top-quality care to its patients.
