Very concerned building owner after a tenant reported moldy black stains only a professional will be able to determine that. Our mission:check the roof with due diligence. |
The flashing around the leaky area was compromised. Even a regular walk on the roof would have been enough to spot these issues. This parapet wall above was in the need of repairs. |
Very large roof |
Extreme caution,always exercised around electrical,gas or other sources (mechanical) |
Roofersview This is only visible from a roofers point of view |
The tenants were lucky to spot the damages,above their leak these were the findings this is a hot tar and gravel roof,removal of stone and carefully checked yielded results. |
Compromised roof flashing,needless to say |
Over 75 linear feet of flashing had to be redone. |
These openings were hidden under a heavy layer of rock. After removal and heavy sweeping were done. All these openings were allowing the water to get into the building |
We reflashed the entire length with a new roofing membrane. Torch down modified |
A propane torch is used in the application of this roofing material. Once torched down and overlapped it becomes a permanent solution Removal of the river rock or stone its crucial. |
