Low-slope roof repair decisions based on drainage and compatibility
Scope curb and penetration repairs
Scope curb and penetration repairs with a photo-first condition record, defined scope, and documented handoff.
Understand the condition
Curbs, pipes, conduits, skylights, and supports require a transition that accommodates termination, movement, fastening, and water flow.
Define equipment responsibilities and require contextual photos so a close-up patch does not hide an unchanged failed interface.
Define the repair decision
Map every side of the curb or penetration, including membrane terminations, corners, counterflashing, supports, pitch pockets, and nearby drainage. Record whether equipment was recently replaced or serviced. Roofing observations alone should not assign responsibility for condensate, plumbing, wiring, or mechanical operation.
Define who disconnects, lifts, or protects equipment and who restores counterflashing or weather seals outside the membrane trade. Compare proposals by the same perimeter and interface. Closeout should include contextual views plus the concealed preparation so a finished surface photograph does not substitute for evidence of the tie-in.
- Identify the affected assembly and transitions
- Compare proposals against one documented boundary
- Record concealed conditions before covering
