| 2007-03-20 18:36:42 | A PRELIMINARY ROOF INSPECTION WAS PERFORMED AT 1638 |
| | EMBASSY DRIVE IN ORDER TO DETERMINE IF A ROOF RECOVER |
| | COULD BE WARRANTED. I MET WITH MIKE, A REPRESENTATIVE |
| | FOR CENTIMARK AND PERFORMED A ROOF INSPECTION OF THE |
| | EXISTING ROOF MEMBRANE AND UNDERLYING SUBSTRATE/ROOF |
| | APPLICATIONS. THE FOLLOWING WAS NOTED: |
| | |
| | 1) THE EXISTING ROOF MEMBRANE APPEARS TO BE A POLYESTER |
| | FABRIC ENCAPSULATED BETWEEN LAYERS OF POLYVINYLCHLORIDE |
| | WITH A THICKNESS OF .040 TO .060". THERE WERE NUMEROUS |
| | AREAS OF THE ROOF WHERE THERE APPEARS TO BE VAST |
| | AMOUNTS OF WATER PONDING. IN THESE AREAS THE ROOF |
| | MEMBRANE APPEARED TO BE DELAMINATED AND ONLY THE SINGLE |
| | PLY BACKING REMAINED. |
| | |
| | 2) THE SUBSTRATE AND EXISTING ROOF LAYERS WERE |
| | VERIFIED: A CORE SAMPLE WAS TAKEN. IT APPEARS THAT |
| | THERE ARE TWO LAYERS OF ROOF COVERINGS. THE SUBSTRATE |
| | APPEARS TO BE WOOD STRUCTURAL PANELS WITH A MODIFIED |
| | BITUMEN/BALLAST ROOF COVERING. A SINGLE PLY OVER |
| | POLYSTYRENE BOARD EXISTS OVER THE FORMER. THE |
| | INSULATION BOARD THAT WAS RECOVERED FROM THE ROOF CORE |
| | SAMPLE WAS WATER SOAKED AND WHILE WALKING ON MOST OF |
| | THE ROOF, THE INSULATION BOARD APEARED TO BE SPONGY AND |
| | WATER SOAKED THEREBY CONFIRMING THE SAME. |
| | |
| | 3) WITH THE AMOUNT OF PONDING WATER THAT WAS EVIDENT ON |
| | THE ROOF, THERE MAY BE DAMAGE TO THE STRUCTURAL PANEL |
| | SUBSTRATE AT NUMEROUS LOCATIONS. |
| | |
| | IN SUMMARY, A ROOF RECOVER PERMIT MAY NOT BE ISSUED DUE |
| | TO THE AFOREMENTIONED CONDITIONS AND THE FLORIDA |
| | EXISTING BUILDING CODE SECTIONS 511.2 AND 511.3 (1) AND |
| | (6). |
| | |
| | FEBC 511.2- THE STRUCTURAL ROOF COMPONENTS SHALL BE |
| | CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING THE ROOF COVERING SYSTEM AND THE |
| | MATERIAL AND EQUIPMENT LOADS THAT WILL BE ENCOUNTERED |
| | DURING THE INSTALLATION OF THE ROOF COVERING SYSTEM. |
| | |
| | FEBC 511.3 RECOVERING VERSUS REPLACEMENT. NEW ROOF |
| | COVERINGS SHALL NOT BE INSTALLED WITHOUT FIRST REMOVING |
| | EXISTING ROOF COVERINGS WHER ANY OF THE FOLLOWING |
| | OCCUR: |
| | |
| | 1) WHEN THE OLD ROOFING IS WATER SOAKED OR DETERIORATED |
| | TO THE POINT THAT IT IS NOT SUITABLE AS A BASE FOR |
| | ADDITIONAL ROOFING. |
| | |
| | 6) WHEN EXISTING ROOF HAS TWO OR MORE APPLICATIONS OF |
| | ANY TYPE ROOFING MATERIAL. CONFORMANCE WITH THIS ITEM |
| | SHALL MAKE REPLACEMENT MANDATORY. |
| | |
