PARTNERS IN
PROFESSIONALISM
Tecta has applied their expertise to a wide
range of private commercial and public mu-
nicipal structures, as well as hospitals and
schools, but in so doing, they’ve also collab-
orated with a number of companies who are
also providing materials and technology that
is also helping to elevate the industry. For
example, through working with a company
known as International Leak Detection,
Tecta has deployed a technology process
known as “Electric Field Vector Mapping”
which negates the undertaking of costly roof
inspections to search (or find) leaks in roof-
ing membranes or the structure itself. Fires-
tone may be best known for tires, but Hagan
says this company also specializes in roofing
materials and he credits Firestone as a criti-
cal relationship that has also helped Tecta
America achieve success. He additionally
recognizes Sika Sarnafil’s innovative mem-
brane systems, American Hydrotech’s deliv-
ery of waterproofing and green roof systems,
and GAF for their wide range of solutions
