‘Archzilla’ rolls out new roof at eaves for Waxahachie project
The original barrel roof on the Waxahachie Civic Center in Waxahachie, Texas, was improperly installed. Among the details that caused problems from the start were open laps, missing clips and back-water laps. After battling more than 70 leaks, declining business, the city of Waxahachie was faced with repairing the water damage and other problems.
“The clincher came during a wedding,” says Brad Tolson, project manager for ECI Consultants of Duncanville, Texas. “There was a rainstorm. Water leaked in and ruined the wedding cake.”
