A Trenton Line station and a Bristol Pike address inside Bensalem Township. Shingle and flat-roof work on houses that have both.
Eddington is one of about ten named sections of Bensalem Township, sitting between Bristol Pike and the Trenton Line rail corridor. Bensalem went from eleven thousand people to more than fifty thousand between 1950 and 1980, and Eddington’s housing comes from that stretch: modest singles and twins on flat, low-lying ground. Over the decades most of them gained a rear addition, a carport enclosure or a covered patio.
That means a lot of these roofs are two systems, not one. We run architectural asphalt on the pitched planes and a single-ply membrane on the shallow ones, and we treat the seam between them as the critical detail rather than an afterthought. Roof permits for Eddington addresses are issued by Bensalem Township under the PA Uniform Construction Code.

Decades of rear additions and enclosed porches left most houses here with shallow sections that drain poorly and terminate into a wall or a shingle course.
Shallow additions built without real slope hold standing water after every heavy rain.
Where flat meets pitched, a poor termination leaks regardless of how new either roof is.
Low-lying lots give gutters and downspouts little help, so discharge points need checking.
Bensalem Township issues the roof permit for Eddington, since Eddington is not its own municipality.

Bensalem Township. Eddington is a census place and a train station name rather than a municipality, so the application and inspection happen at Bensalem under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. The same applies to Cornwells Heights, Andalusia and the other Bensalem section names.
It is common here and it is still a problem. Low-slope roofs are designed to drain, not to pond, and standing water finds every seam and fastener eventually. The fix can be as simple as clearing and re-pitching the drainage path, or it can mean tapered insulation under a new membrane.
A properly installed EPDM or TPO membrane is in the same range as architectural asphalt, provided the drainage works and the terminations are right. Most flat roofs that fail early do so at the edges and penetrations, not in the open field. That is where we spend the installation time.
Yes, and it is the better way to do it. Splitting the two means the seam between them gets built twice by two different crews, which is exactly where leaks start. Doing both together lets us tie the membrane under the shingle courses and flash the wall once, correctly.
