Roof Maintenance

Speaker: Ted Katsoris, B.Tech, BSS, CCCA

While the roof is one of the most critical components of the building envelope, it can also be the most overlooked component as well. Deteriorated paving, spalled bricks, cracked precast panels, lose metal panels, failed windows etc. can be seen from the ground with minimal effort. However, we cannot easily see blocked drains, blisters, loose metal flashing, deteriorated membranes unless one physically walks on the roof and undertakes a review. Left unchecked, these little problems can turn into expensive repairs or in the most extreme cases, a roof failure. While a leak in a residential, commercial or industrial faculty may be a “nuance”, a roof leak in a hospital may trigger infectious control procedures, that may take a room(s) out of service while the issue is being attended. This presentation will focus on the most common methods of undertaking roof reviews / inspections, beginiing from the basic visual reviews, to more advanced diagnostic methods.
