Kalida, Ohio 45853 45853
Subject: Sample Manufacturing Roof
In accordance with your request, a visual inspection of the roof at the referenced building was conducted on Jul 20, 2004. The
purpose of the inspection was to obtain a general overview of the current condition of the roof and to provide recommendations
for replacement of the existing roof as well as related budget cost estimates for the work.
The building is of masonry and steel reinforced concrete construction and is two stories in height. The roof area consists of
eight (8) roof sections. The existing roof is comprised of a several types of edpm and shingle roofing systems adhered,
ballasted and mechanically attached to the decking. The roof system is in poor condition and is leaking throughout the interior
of the building. Numerous holes and other breaches in the roof membrane were observed and are noted here in this report.
Total removal and replacement or repair of the existing roofing systems is recommended at this time. Budget cost estimates for
the replacement and repairs are included in this report. We have also included repair recommendations and estimates for each
roof section as well, to help you budget accordingly. The level of importance for work varies from roof to roof, below is a
prioritized list from worst to best for you to consider when planning the completion of this work.

1) Roof #8
2) Roof #1
3) Roof #2
4) Roof #6
5) Roof #5

It is understood that the foregoing information as well as the information contained in this report is based on visual
observations only.Additional testing would be needed to verify deckings structural integrity and the presence of asbestos
containing materials (ACM's) in any of the existing roofing components. It is further understood that the cost estimates offered
are for budgeting purposes only.

Type: Crazed flashing
Severity: Moderate
Details: Crazed flashing
Degradation of the flashing products is due

to exposure to UV rays. Flashings with
minor crazing exhibit a mud cracked
appearance in the top surface of the
membrane. In extreme cases, the crazing can
progress to the point that the flashing cracks.
Continued exposure of crazed flashings to

UV rays permit the deterioration to progress.
If not addressed, cracks or splits in the
flashings can occur. Moisture entering at
such splits can cause deterioration of
adjacent roof areas.

Type: Hole
Severity: Moderate
Details: Hole
Penetration thru the membrane surface due

in most cases to physical abuse.
Failure to repair holes in the roof membrane

will permit water to infiltrate the system
causing premature failure of that area of
roof. Insulation performance will also be
degraded due to the saturation.
Photo #: 3
Type: Insulation deterioration
Severity: Major
Details: Insulation deterioration
Deterioration of insulation products can be

caused by saturation with moisture or due to
excessive rooftop traffic. If exposed to
moisture, fiberboard products will break
down over time.
Insulation deterioration will make the roof

more susceptible to damage from a wind
related event. As a result of the collapse of
the insulation structure, fasteners are raised
above the roof surface tenting the membrane,
making it more susceptible to damage from
traffic.

Type: Fastener backout
Severity: Minor
Details: Fastener backout
The phenomenon where a screw-type

fastener will loosen itself by turning
counter-clockwise and back itself out due to
pulling or vibration of any component of the
roof system.
Fasteners in a roof system are used to secure

the roof system components to the structure.
When backout occurs, the integrity of the
roof system can be jeopardized.

Type: Ponding
Severity: Moderate
Details: Ponding
The NRCA has classified "undesirable"

ponding water as standing for more than 48
hours though ponding can pose a threat in
even shorter time spans.
A matter of "deep" concern in the roofing

industry is the fact that a 1" deep pond
weighs 5.2 lbs / square foot and many
structures can not handle this extra load.
Ponding water can be traced to any of

several factors. First, a roof may pond water
as a result of poor housekeeping on the roof
which contributes to clogged drains, gutters
and downspouts. The build up of roof top
debris or displaced gravel ballast frequently
blocks water flow and creates ponds.
Secondly, the building's roof top drainage
system may not have been designed
properly. Finally, ponds form as a result of
such common conditions as building
settlement and deck deflection.
Since ponds occur in low areas of a roof, a

pond becomes a repository for debris,
sediment, and chemical emissions. Ponding
encourages microorganism and bacterial
degradation, roof deflection, magnified
ultraviolet exposure and ultimate premature
failure of the roof system.
If the roof membrane in a ponded area

sustains damage, all of this water may drain
into the roof system and into the building.
The additional weight load may pose a threat

to the structural integrity of the building,
with a very real possibility of collapse of the
roof in extreme cases.

Type: Splice lifting
Severity: Moderate
Details: Splice lifting
Splices or seams in single ply roof systems

can open due to issues related to improper
application techniques or to the products.
Splices are defined as open if the entire seam
area is delaminated permitting water to enter
the roof system. Less severe delamination of
the seam or localized splice lifting requires
attention but is not indicative of a systemic
condition.
Splice lifting needs to be addressed to

maintain the system in a watertight
condition. Failure to address a lifting splice
condition could lead to a progressive failure
in the underlying substrate.

Type: Debris
Severity: Major
Details: Debris
Any foreign objects on the surface of the

roof. These foreign objects could include
vegetation such as dead leaves and man
made objects such as broken glass, nails, etc.
The build up of roof top debris frequently

impedes positive drainage, clogs drains and
results in the development of ponding water
conditions. In it's extreme, this could result
in roof collapse.
Sharp foreign objects can puncture a roof

membrane if stepped upon , resulting in wet
insulation, roof leaks and interior damage.

Photo Details
Photo #: 19
Type: Membrane shrinkage
Severity: Major
Details: Membrane shrinkage
Membrane shrinkage is caused by a variety

of conditions ranging from loss of
plasticizers within the membrane to
inadequate securement at wall flashings.
Inadequate securement is another common
cause of shrinkage that can lead to bridging
of flashing at the perimeter of the structure.
Failure to address severe shrinkage or

embrittlement can lead to catastrophic failure
of the roof system due to shattering.
Shrinkage due to inadequate secruement of

the flashings can lead to severe bridging
conditions. Shrinkage along the perimeter of
the building can lead to splits in the
flashings. Corrective action to alleviate the
condition by reducing stress can restore the
roof system.
