What is allowing water through the roof?
We compare the water report with the roof above and around it, checking accessible field material, seams, wall flashings, curb details and drainage paths. The location and timing of water inside help direct that examination. Around a split membrane, we look for a usable joining area beyond the tear and examine the layers beneath the affected material. A compatible membrane repair needs prepared surrounding material and completed edges; a surface bead of sealant may leave the split or damaged layers unresolved. We identify the construction our proposed repair will correct and the area still needing investigation.
A commercial roof leak repair follows those findings. Where wet insulation or deteriorated cover board is exposed, we define the removal needed to replace it and join the repair to usable construction. We photograph an opening before covering it and show the approval contact a condition that changes the quantity. An infrared moisture survey can be considered when concealed moisture needs further evaluation; we discuss suitable conditions and confirmation of its findings before settling removal. If the roof examination leaves equipment drainage or piping as a possible source, its responsible contractor assesses that component while we define the roofing work.
