What Affects the Scope
Water may travel before appearing inside. The review should connect accessible observations with the affected roof section and distinguish known conditions from concealed ones. Include operating access limits for commercial properties; the scope and trade responsibilities need project-specific confirmation.
What to share
- Roof records
- Leak and drainage history
- Prior repairs
- Equipment locations
- Safe access information
Does a leak show where the roof failed?
Not always. Water can travel within an assembly before appearing inside. Inspection of accessible exterior and interior conditions helps narrow the source, while concealed conditions may require further investigation.
