1 ROOF CONDITION REPORT STORE: ADDRESS: DATE OF INSPECTION: PSR INSPECTOR: ONSITE CONTACT: COMPANY NAME: REPORT CREATED FOR: Sample inspection report Orlando, FL Thursday, March 24, 2011 Craig Stephens John Doe Client Client Representative INTRODUCTION The site survey consisted of core cuts to determine the number of roof systems present, composition of decking and a visual inspection of the roof and roof components. We logged visible components, field measurements and photographic verification of items / general conditions. The photographs are not intended to provide a complete record. This apartment complex was comprised of 14 buildings. Combined all buildings encompassed 87,600 sf of flat roof area. Each building has minimal slope with drainage being achieved by way of external gutters with downspouts. The perimeter of the roofs exhibit drip edge metal flashing. During our evaluation the weather conditions were sunny skies on the first day and the second day cloudy and showers. CORE DATA / ROOF SYSTEM Bldg. 1 (Units 1701, 1715, 1729, 1735, 1745 & 1755).. This roof may be described as an EPDM single-ply membrane roof with 1 1/4" polyiso insulation over 1/2" tar base over a wood deck. The EPDM membrane and polyiso insulation are mechanically fastened into the wood deck.

2 Bldg. 2 (Units 1641, 1645 & 1647)... This roof may be described as a Granular surfaced modified roof system over 3/4" tar base over a wood deck. Bldg. 3 (Units 1631 & 1635)... This roof may be described as a Granular surfaced Modified roof over 3/4" of tar over a wood deck. Bldg. 4 (Club House / Office).. This roof may be described as an EPDM single-ply membrane roof over tapered polyiso insulation over a Modified cap sheet over a modified base sheet over a wood deck. The EPDM and Polyiso insulation are mechanically fastened into the wood deck. Bldg. 5 (Units 1633, 1637, 1639 & 1643).. This roof may be described as a 1/2" Granular surfaced Modified Cap Sheet directly over a wood deck. Bldg. 6 (Units 4622, 4624, 4625 & 4628)..This roof may be described as an EPDM single-ply membrane roof over one layer of 1" polyiso insulation over 3/8" tar over a wood deck. The EPDM and Polyiso insulation are mechanically fastened into the wood deck.

3 Bldg. 7 (Units 4606, 4612, 4616 & 4620)... This roof may be described as a Granular Surfaced Modified cap sheet directly over EPDM Single-ply membrane over one layer of 2.5" Polyiso insulation over a wood deck. The fastening of the EPDM and Polyiso insulation could not be verified. We believe the Modified cap sheet is not fastened to the deck because we were able to lift the cap sheet up off the EPDM. The cap sheet and most recent covering is basically keeping the tenants dry. The modified was improperly installed and may lift off under high winds. We believe the only form of attachment is along the perimeter where the SBS sheet was torched down to the edge metal. Bldg. 8 (Units4608, 4612, 4616 & 4620).. This building has two roof systems present: Core 1 is a EPDM single-ply roof system over a Modified cap sheet and base sheet over 1" polyiso insulation over a wood deck. Core 2 is a Modified cap sheet and base sheet over wet brown board insulation over an additional cap sheet over tar and a wood deck. Bldg. 9 (Units 4600, 4602 & 4604).. This roof may be described as an EPDM single-ply membrane roof system over 1 3/4" Polyiso insulation over 1/4" of tar over a wood deck. The EPDM and Polyiso insulation are mechanically fastened into the wood deck. Bldg. 10 (Units 4630, 4640, 4654, 4666, 4678 & 4688).. This roof may be described as a 5/8" Granular Surfaced Modified roof system over a base layer of tar over a wood deck. Bldg. 11 (Units 1617, 1615, 1611, 1607, 1605 & 1601).. This roof was not cored due to heavy rains.

4 Bldg. 12 (Units1621, 1625, 1627 & 1629).. This roof was not cored due to heavy rains. Bldg's 13 & 14 (Laundry Room and Pool Room).. These roofs were not cored due to heavy rains. LEAK HISTORY Bldg. 8, 9 & 12 have major leak issues. The leaks may be directly contributed to roofs which have been neglected whereby a regular roof maintenance program has been absent at this facility for sometime.

5 OBSERVATIONS AND DEFICIENCIES Gutter guards should be added to the gutter system on Buildings & 12. We recommend having a professsional tree service prune the trees which will help in properly managing the facility's gutters. Leaves on the roof. Leaves in the gutter. Typical condition Large cut in the EPDM Large hole in the EPDM with moisture present underneath the membrane.

6 Large split in the uncured membrane flashings along the perimeter edge. Typical condition. The EPDM roofs do not have double sided seam tape between the seam laps whereby glues and adhesives were used as the seaming method. Typical condition found throughout the roof areas with EPDM. Large split in the EPDM and moisture saturation within the polyiso insulation. When capital funding is available all EPDM needs to be removed and wet / damaged polyiso removed prior to re-roofing. Large split / cut or tear in the EPDM. This condition has been present for some time as depicted by the plant growth underneath the EPDM. This hole / split or puncture is at the beginning stage and if not repaired will manifest into a larger opening as highlighted in the two previous photos.

7 Typical deficiency of an open seam lap. Condition found throughout all EPDM roof areas. Split / tear in the EPDM edge flashing. Typical deficiency found throughout the roof areas with EPDM. Open seam along the perimeter edge. Typical condition. Hole in the EPDM flashing membrane at the perimeter angle change. Typical condition. Loose patch. Typical condition on patches throughout all roof areas with EPDM.

8 Open seam lap. Serious condition and a major contributing factor for water entry. Photo of a hole which is allowing a lot of water to enter underneath the EPDM. Large opening in the EPDM membrane. This condition has been present for sometime as foreign matter is present inside the void and the polyiso insulation is discolored from water saturation. Old patch peeling up in an area where ponding occurs. Patches which were previously installed are pulling up and have become delaminated from the EPDM sheet. Open seam and poorly attached EPDM along the perimeter edge.

9 Open seam lap in an area which ponds water. This deficiency was caused from the apron portion of the drip edge metal flashing which was not adequatly fastened into the wood nailer. Typical condition of buckled polyiso insulation. This condition is caused when the underlying insulation is improperly fastened into the substrate, moisture presence and heat. This condition is commonly found throughout the buildings with EPDM membrane and polyiso insulation. The dry EPDM membrane areas are where the insulation is raised. Roof level photo of polyiso insulation raised up indicating a problem exists and immediate corrective action is needed.

10 Typical condition of deficient insulation. Typical condition of deficient polyiso insulation. Open seam lap. Typical. Open seam lap at perimeter. Typical condition throughout. Open seam lap and typical condition throughout.

11 Deflection in the decking on the Modified roof as stains are an indication of ponding water. Roof overview of one of the modified roof areas. Dark colors are of areas which pond water. Typical deficiency of open edge flashing at the gutter. This condition is consistant throughout the buildings with Modified membrane. Open seam lap in the modified membrane at this juncture. Photo of void / open seam at the perimeter edge.

12 Photo of the gutter which is new and in great condition throughout each building. The modified membrane is suspect at best at tie-in locations and along the perimeter. Typical condition. Photo of the gutter. The gutter and downspouts are in great condition and may be re-used. Overview of the gutter and a good example of the condition throughout the total roof areas evaluated. This photo highlights the gutter attachment underneath the drip edge flashing and the modified membrane. All gutters and downspouts are in great condition.

13 Photo of fastener back-out at the gutter strap. Condition needs to be monitored and corrected. This appears to be a random occurrence. PHOTO LOG Rear view of the buildings, gutter and downspouts. Front view of the building and edge metal. Side view of the edge metal.

16 RECOMMENDATIONS Our recommendations are based on a grading system from the worst to best. Worst is defined as poor condition, bad leaks and immediate re-roofing / capital funding is necessary. Best is defined as not leaking, may be repaired in lieu of re-roofing and will yield an additional 3-5 years of service provided repairs are performed.
