Construction Documentation
Detailed documentation of materials, thicknesses, attachment methods, and structural deck systems.
When the roof makeup is unknown, or when old documents need to be confirmed, Construction Documentation through core sampling can provide the necessary information on the existing conditions of a roof to make informed decisions for the future. By taking small core samples from the top of the membrane to the structural deck, we can provide a detailed description of the existing materials, their thicknesses and attachment methods, as well as the structural decking type for virtually any roof area. The cores are infilled and then patched to ANSI and ASTM standards for all membrane types. We haven’t had one fail yet!
Multiple core samples can be taken on a single roof area to confirm the presence of a tapered insulation system and could be used to determine the maximum and minimum thicknesses of the insulation, if possible.
*This service may not be available for roofs currently under warranty.
