Punch List
On this date a representative for Reed Engineering was on site to examine the
completed roof at the above referenced project. The following items were noted for
correction:
1. Scupper details were incomplete, completed
2. Excessive debris over the entire system, from several trades, complete
3. Pitchpans need to be over filled and sloped to sides to promote proper drainage.
completed
4. Caulk in the panel seams is separating. Incomplete - not roofers responsibility
5. Drain cages were not set, some drains will need to be cleaned free of asphalt to
accomplish this. complete
6. Several pipe penetrations and pitchpans were set on the completed roof and
flashed with roof cement, rather than the required roof plies and/or modified
SBS with hot asphalt, completed
7. At the north expansion joint, north side, the aggregate application is thin and the
aggregate in place is covered with asphalt. This area will require additional loose
aggregate. No additional a§gregate added. Embedded surfacing good, little
to no loose a§gre§ate.
8. At the north expansion joint, south side on west wall, parallel to the second
scupper there is a gas leak in the pipe joint, a constant hissing sound was heard.
completed
9. Several scupper on both sides of the building arc considered Iow. This is evident
in that the water is draining through the scuppers instead of the drains. Thc
water has discolored the exterior wall. It is recommended that dams (gravel
guards) bc placed in front of the scuppers to divert the water to thc drains. A
detail is attached with this report, completed

ROOF MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
Roof maintenance should be performed on a bi-annual basis or following any large
storms which may effect the performance of the system.
Protecting the system will extend the life of the system. The following are
recommendations to insure the maximum quality of the roofing system.
1. Notify roofing contractor immediately after a roof leak occurs. If possible, note
conditions resulting in leakage. Heavy or light rain, wind direction, temperature, time
of the year that leak occurs are all important clues in tracking leak area. Note
whether the leak stops shortly after rain or continues until the roof is dry.
2. Set up a regular maintenance schedule and document all parties on roof and any
maintenance items which required attention.
3. Do not allow foot traffic on the system during extreme cold or very hot weather as
this can damage the system. Do not allow- installation of any mechanical equipment
or additional penetrations without first contacting the roofing contractor. This could
void the manufacturer's warranty. Allow only authorized personnel on the roof.
4. In emergency situations, roof cement may be used to patch leak areas to prevent or
minimize property loss.
5. Contact your roofing professional on a yearly basis for a complete and professional
annual maintenance check.
MAINTENANCE CHECK LIST:
Remove all debris from roof surface.
Check drains and drain cages, remove all collected debris from around
drain area and from drain cages to insure proper drainage at all times.
Check for ponding water. Ponding water is considered to be water
which sets in one location for longer than 48 hours with no apparent
drainage.
Check around all roof top equipment which require maintenance for
damages.
Check flashing areas at perimeter and curbs for damages - split seams
especially in areas that sustain high winds and/or foot traffic.
Check and repair deteriorated caulk (i.e., equipment stands, roof
dividers, expansion joints, top edge of the counterflashing).
Check for loose or wind damaged counterflashing or coping, especially
after heavy wind conditions.
Examine annually coping joints for caulk deterioration.
Have a Roofing Professional examine the roof every 1 to 2 years to
detect the onset of any abnormal conditions.
