Existing Roof System
Describe the type and conditions of the various membranes types on the roof
roofing system is comprised of six or seven different roof sections that all are attached to one another. Some of the issues are being created just from shifting between the structural components of the multiple buildings. One Roofing section is SBS another lower. Roofing section is SBS there's a large section of Roofing that is shingles and the remainder of the roof is BUR the shingles seem to be holding up really well. The SBS seems to be Holding up OK but the BUR is been patched multiple times as well as multiple changes I've been made to the membrane and it is showing where.
Interior Condition, Leaks, Insulation, Roof Deck Type
Collect pictures to help depict the issues presenting on the interior of the building, if accessible collect images of any below deck insulation and the roof deck type.
client described that there is multiple areas in the roof section directly above the hallway that we're showing water staining. They also showed us an area upstairs in another hallway into the employee kitchen area that was showing water staining, and another area that inside the cooler was showing water, staining the area inside the cooler at this time as believed to be condensation Maybe just from the voids of the insulation or just from that cooler itself maybe being a little too warm it does look like maybe the drip tray could be full as well so will be worth investigating whether that there's that pipe is frozen off on the drain on that The during our kind of investigation we did find another area that is showing a little bit of leaking as well that is tied into a just a gum box it needs to be topped up so part of the scope will be posing is topping up all the gun boxes
Attic/Crawl Space Inspection
Check vent/insul/deck/struct/plumb/wire/pests/moisture. Note damage, leaks, ventilation, & insulation. Photo any issues
building is concrete block with the steel trusses and metal deck. The water in the hallway is making its way out of the various areas in the metal deck, and it looked like when we were assessing the roof. We maybe found the location for that one and then the other sections where the membrane had it kind of started to show with separation between two different additions of the building attraction must be happening, but the memory has a very straight tear all the way through.
Exterior Roof Inspection
Exterior roof inspections assess the visible condition, including damaged shingles/tiles, leaks, flashing, and gutters. Flat roofs require close membrane scrutiny: blisters, cracks, seams, and ponding areas. Check for rot, mold, structural issues, ventilation, and chimney condition. Document findings with photos, noting membrane type and condition. Prioritize safety and thoroughness.
concluding the investigation, it seems that the issue with the area above the main hallway by the coolers is from the split in the membrane between the two buildings. It actually runs a long duration. I proposed solution to that is something we've done in the past for them which includes scraping away the old rock, exposing the asphalt reactivating the asphalt priming, the asphalt installing a new base membrane, and then installing SBS membrane over top of that Applying mastic on the perimeter and then recovering with rock, it's a good solution for the problem that seems to be holding up and probably will hold up for a couple years. The gun box is a very simple solution. Domestic levels are too low in it. It just needs to be topped up. We can top it up with the product. It's less susceptible to UV and shrinkage so that might encourage a little more life out of those gun boxes to use MS detail instead The curbs over on the north side of the building are showing deterioration which is in the pictures and the filter are expose allowed in water infiltration they're splitting a couple things. There's some unused curbs that are there right now that could easily be removed and replaced. That's a very simple solution to make a very significant correction. One of the other things is, there's an AC unit up there where the switch is currently set off. I don't know if the AC unit is in use, but it does seem like the curbs below that AC unit are also possibly leaking. It would be difficult to do much work to the curbs without removing the AC unit or we can definitely do the best that we can if they want to retain it And then the last one still being a condensation unit, which in the freezer which I feel may be related to the the temperature of the coils in the freezer
Exterior Roof Materials
Meticulous documentation of the existing roofing system is essential. For color, capture well-lit photos from various angles, noting manufacturer and color names. If unknown, compare physical samples to color charts under natural light. A cut test requires careful removal of a small section, noting material layers, thickness, and degradation. Photograph the cut and surrounding area, recording markings. Additionally, document insulation type (fiberglass, foam, etc.) and thickness. Record fiberboard composition and condition (water damage, delamination). Specify the vapor barrier type (polyethylene, kraft paper) and condition (tears, punctures). During the cut test, examine underlayment and roof deck type (plywood, OSB, etc.). Ensure thorough documentation of all materials for accurate matching and assessment.
client is currently have some gray SPS on there. It's recommended probably to use gray SBS again and the rest of the roof is BR and the shingles are green so we would definitely use SBS for all the repairs will be the most suitable.
