Roofing Consulting Services

STATEMENT OF WORK REQUIRED. 4.1 Roof Assessment: 1) Survey and document a thorough review of each roof area 2) Identify any drainage issues a) Recommend procedures for improving drainage in areas where there is significant ponding. The ponding water will accelerate the deterioration of any roof system and potentially challenge the structural integrity of the roof. b) Establish procedures for improving drainage issues that will be incorporated into future roof replacement scope of work c) Assess existing roof drainage conditions and provide recommendations on any repairs / replacement i) Evaluate corrosion conditions related to salt air exposure, including fasteners, metal decking, flashings, MEP supports, and rooftop equipment. ii) Identify areas where marine grade or corrosion resistant materials are recommended. iii) Include wind uplift classification for each roof area per current FBC HVHZ (2026), including roof zone mapping. iv) Evaluate vapor drive and humidity related risks common in coastal hot humid environments. 3) Evaluate previous repairs a) Determine the condition of previous repairs and the level of performance expected going forward 4) Obtain all available documents regarding current roof systems a) Classify the existing roof system by material and roof type 5) Confirm the condition of all roof areas by cross-referencing data with photographs and site inspections. 6) Establish a budget to upgrade roofs based on long and short-term goals. a) Provide solution options with recommendations for the course of action that should be taken with each roof section b) Prioritize various roof areas based on the condition of the current waterproofing system, interior sensitivity, structural condition, and customer need c) Incorporate climate risk factors such as sea level rise projections, storm surge exposure, and FEMA flood zone designations into prioritization scoring. d) Provide recommendations for future climate resilient systems (cool roof, solar ready, blue/green roof compatibility) based on structural feasibility. 7) Provide detailed drawings of each roof area. (line item cost) 8) Detail drawings will be provided to scale (line item cost) 9) Perimeter details will be identified 10) Penetrations will be categorized by type and their locations will be marked 11) Existing roof system composition will be detailed a) Document roof edge securement layout and confirm compliance with ANSI/SPRI ES 1 as required in HVHZ zones. b) Identify drainage features vulnerable to coastal flooding or storm surge backflow impacts. 12) Assess existing conditions of flashing, counterflashing, protecting caps and provide recommendations on any repairs / replacement 13) Verify all MEP supports attached to the roof (HVAC stands, electrical conduits, etc) 14) Assess existing conditions of lighting protection system and provide recommendations on any repairs / replacement 15) Core cuts will be taken, as needed, on all non-warranted roofs to determine the composition and number of existing roofing systems. a) Core cuts provide accurate information on the number of plies, type and thickness of insulation and coatings, and the type and condition of structural decking that supports the existing roof system. Core samples can be analyzed for asbestos content, water infiltration, and roof system integrity. They provide the most tangible information for roof system diagnostics. When core cuts are performed the following services will be provided: 16) A representative number of core cut samples for each roofing section or more as needed. 17) Determination of the condition of roofing system components 18) Reports on the current roof construction, classification, and material types a) A Roof Database will be created, including photos and data collected from surveys. 4.2 Exterior Envelope Survey: 1) Comprehensive Inspection and Evaluation of Exterior Building Envelope Systems 2) Windows, Doors, Louvers, Parapet walls, Siding and Walls will be surveyed. 3) Evaluate envelope components for UV degradation and salt air corrosion. 4) Review cladding and fenestration fastening to confirm compliance with current HVHZ impact resistant standards. 5) Recommend wind driven rain intrusion testing (ASTM E1105 or equivalent) where faade water intrusion is suspected. 6) Comprehensive Photo Documentation 7) Recommendations for Future Course of Action including additional energy efficiency measures 8) Establish a budget to upgrade waterproofing based on long and short-term goals. 9) Provide solution options with recommendations for the course of action that should be taken with each wall section 10) Prioritize various wall areas based on the condition of the current waterproofing system, interior sensitivity, structural condition, and customer need 11) CAD Drawings or Eagle views available upon request 12) Exterior Building Envelope Database will be created including photos and data collected from surveys. 4.3 Moisture Diagnostic Scan: 1) Perform a Moisture Diagnostic Scan on the designated roof sections a) Moisture Diagnostic Scans provide a powerful tool in the process of identifying roof areas with moisture content. By evaluating the results, you can establish whether the water infiltration is localized or is widespread across an entire roof area. By having your organizations roofs scanned, you are validating whether water infiltration has begun degrading your roofing system. i) Nuclear scanning counts hydrogen molecules by emitting neutrons, the higher numbers will determine the amount of moisture in roof assembly. ii) Nuclear scans are required when more than one roof is present in the assembly as well as ballasted roof systems. iii) Infrared technology measures temperature differentials. Wet insulation retains heat long after the roof has cooled, and the camera will show heat signatures that are much higher than the signature of dry insulation. Infrared will only read the top assembly of insulation. Meaning, if there is more than one roof, heat signatures will only be detected on the top roof. iv) Reports containing all the findings, as well as the methods employed while completing the scan (1) Confirm the condition of all roof areas by cross-referencing data with photographs (2) Include nighttime or low humidity infrared scan scheduling to improve accuracy in hot humid coastal conditions. (3) Assess insulation moisture content not only from liquid infiltration but also from humidity based absorption. v) Readings taken from a moisture meter are used to verify scan results vi) Outlines of wet areas will be painted using highly visible marking paint vii) Core cuts provide accurate information on the number of plies, type and thickness of insulation and coatings, and the type and condition of structural decking that supports the existing roof system. Core samples can be analyzed for asbestos content, water infiltration, and roof system integrity. (1) A representative number of core cut samples for each roofing section or more as needed. (2) Determination of the condition of roofing system components
