How do I go about when making a roofing inspections?
In the month of May I got a call from a client who had a roof leak and had recently called various roofing companies to do the repair. All roofing companies failed to provide the client with a roofing repair that would eliminate the roof leak permanantely. Why may this be? When receving a call for a roofing repair many bigger companies will send off their "rookie roofers" to make a roofing repair and they may be a bit under trained on the field and make a senseless repairs. As a rule of thumb when within the building looking at a roof leak make sure to adequately calculate where this leak will be when you're on the roof. Make a visual measurement by guiding yourself with exit doors or even windows. I for example will look to see if I can spot a vehicle outside and align that with a door or wall brick within the building, sort of like pin pointing when playing battle ship. Once you've pin pointed the exact location go ahead and take a look at the decking direction. This will guide you as to how the water drops run when falling into the roof. Once on the roof create a 10' radius to search the leak and look for small punctures, open seams, defective patches, and loose screws if any. This is a simple way to figure out a roof leaks exact spot.
