Description
Field of the roof-(All) Past Repairs of Existing Roof System
Cause
As older roof systems begin to reach the end of their serviceable life span, repeated and ongoing repairs become necessary to maintain a watertight status.
Impact
Each leak typically creates a small area of wet insulation and exposes the deck to moisture as well. Wet insulation can compress and this can cause standing or ponding water in these areas. Ponding water can contribute to premature failure of the roof.
Solution
Perform comprehensive repairs and institute a preventative maintenance plan to minimize unforeseen leaks from occurring or have a complete reroofing project done.
