Common ROOFING issues cited in defect cases:

  • inadequate grout and sealants applied to the roof ridge
    inadequate flashing and counter-flashing that fails to provide an adequate seal against the headwalls
  • improper eave construction which allows for water to pond at the roof edgeRoof eave drip edges installed over the roofing felt instead of under it.
  • Roof jacks that are not correctly bibbed (woven) into the roof underlayment in a weatherboard fashion, again, relying on mastic as a final seal.
  • Holes and rips in roof underlayment, repaired with mastic instead of a bibb of felt from the next highest seam.
  • Closed rake kick-outs either not installed at all or installed incorrectly.
  • Poor workmanship at penetrations
