Neglecting roofs can mean leaks, degradation or major damage, so roof inspections should address specific indicators or conditions.
Most issues can be traced back to one of three categories — design, materials, or workmanship — or a combination of the three.
Proactive roof evaluation will allow the facility manager to manage the roofing assets on a prioritized basis and to develop a successful long-range roofing program.
