Leak protection before renovation

Water was reaching the warehouse floor and affecting interior finishes. The owner wanted to consider temporary protection while preparing for a roof replacement roughly two to three months later.

Roof and interior conditions

The review covered loose and torn membrane, exposed insulation, perimeter flashing, skylights, curbs and penetrations. Interior ceiling-tile staining helped relate the roof conditions to the affected office areas.

Coordinating the replacement

Planned changes to equipment, curbs and penetrations needed to be coordinated with the roofing work. The assessment helped organize temporary repairs, site measurements and the replacement sequence around the renovation.
