The presence of an active water infiltration into a building through its roofing system can become very problematic for a landlord or his tenant. The water can not only damage the building’s components and result in the presence of mould, but it can also reduce the functionality of the building and create losses to revenue. With the help of years of experience and various types of leak detection equipment and methods, our team can detect and locate the water infiltration.
For some roof systems having a conventional (i.e., membrane located over the insulation) design, it is possible to perform a thermography to identify the presence of damp/wet components trapped within a roofing system. This can be used to locate an active water infiltration or determine the quantity of damp/wet components that require replacement during the execution of a partial (membrane replacement only) re-roofing mandate. Partial re-roofing is both economical and environmentally friendly as it allows the client to conserve all “dry” components considered to be in “good” condition. The Level II certification of our team provides our clients comfort in our competence and ability to interpret thermograms according to the specific conditions of their building.
If a re-roofing mandate is required, our team can prepare the required technical documents for the tendering phase for any type of roof system. The documents consist of a text portion describing the specified materials and their installation methods as well as new construction details. The documents ensure that all bidding contractors are submitting pricing for the same mandate.
The quality assurance site review during construction consists of daily visits to ensure the contractor adheres to the requirements of the technical documents. The visits also allow us to work closely with the contractor to navigate through any unforeseen situations which may arise during construction.
