To the right is the hospital. Originally protected by reinforced asphalt membranes, adhered to concrete roof decks, all of the roof planes were recovered, about 27 years back, using synthetic rubber membranes. In place of costly replacement, Waterbarriers has been, section by section, restoring the flashings of each, beginning in 2013. We estimate having conserved about $2.5 MM dollars of owner capital, compared with replacement costs. Protected by Carbon Black pigmentation, the field sheets of synthetic rubber just do not wear out, only the wall and penetration flashings need periodic preventive maintenance, on a basis of decades. Others would have sold the owner unneeded new roofs.
To the benefit of key personnel, Brokers and Managers, we perform a comprehensive Roof System Condition Evaluation report for review, which aids them through the decision making process. It is essential to give sufficient objective data so that an informed decision could be made. A number across the bottom of a sheet of paper does nothing to enlighten the responsible parties.
