desertdweller Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 Have you seen this before? Home is about 2 yrs old. Where the concrete tile meets the rolled roofing material at the flat patio roof, the membrane is exposed. The grey areas in the photo are the fasteners. What is your take on this? The rolled roofing material does extend beneath the paper but the paper is subject to the deteriorating effects of the desert sun.

hausdok Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 Hi, Is it actually roofing felt under those tile or is it APP, SBS or EPDM single-ply roofing membrane? ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 And, is that granulated modified bitumen, or rolled mineral roofing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Hockstein Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 This is a crude installation. The exposed fasteners are subject to leaking. It is hard to tell in the photo but it also looks like there are some exposed nailed through the roll roofing. I would advise my client to expect leakage in this area.

kurt Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 Yeah. Baseline crude. Crude means no one can really foretell performance, which usually means leaks. Can't go wrong reporting this as a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisprickett Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 I've got dozens of pictures exactly like that. The 30 lb felt was run too long, which is sloppy, but no big deal. The fasteners penetrating the rolled roofing are a no-no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
