Zone-Based Management Analysis
Red Zone Priority🔴 Critical Zone (Red)
Focus: RTU C-6 and surrounding transitions.
Defect: Base flashing delamination + membrane fatigue.
Risk: Active or imminent water intrusion.
Defect: Base flashing delamination + membrane fatigue.
Risk: Active or imminent water intrusion.
🟠 Drainage & Perimeter (Orange)
Focus: Western perimeter (Zone 2).
Defect: Heavy staining + checkerboard patterns.
Risk: Inefficient drainage, ponding accelerates UV degradation.
Defect: Heavy staining + checkerboard patterns.
Risk: Inefficient drainage, ponding accelerates UV degradation.
🟡 Field Maintenance (Yellow)
Focus: Central field area (Zones 1 & 3).
Defect: Existing patches and failed walkway pad integration.
Defect: Existing patches and failed walkway pad integration.
🟢 Low-Risk Monitoring (Green)
Focus: Eastern section (Zone 4).
Condition: Best relative health. Membrane crazing noted.
Condition: Best relative health. Membrane crazing noted.
📌 Inspector Note — Lifecycle Strategy: The contrast between the Green Zone (Stable) and the Red Zone (Failing) suggests this roof is "unzipping" from the mechanical units outward. By addressing the Red and Orange zones now, you can likely extend the life of the Yellow and Green zones by another 3–5 years before a full replacement is required.
Membrane Condition
Deteriorating Localized Fair → Poor (localized) — Aging, dirt trails, ponding patterns
Visible seam lines and prior repairs observed
Close-up confirms membrane degradation
Detailed Observations: Dirt trails and flow patterns indicate water movement and ponding. Discoloration suggests aging. No catastrophic tears at aerial scale, but close-up imagery confirms degradation.
RTU C-6 – Critical Failure Point
HIGH RISKDefect TypeBase flashing delamination + failed sealant
Exposed SubstrateYes — open pathways for water intrusion
Previous RepairImproper patch, material peeling
Walkway PadPresent but improperly integrated
🔴 Immediate Concern: Severely deteriorated flashing and detached sealant. This is a clear failure point with high likelihood of active leaks.
Seams & Previous Repairs
Failed Patch Adhesion Failed patch adhesion — temporary repairs not professionally maintained
Multiple visible seams with possible fatigue
Seam Inspection: Signs of previous patching and seam fatigue. Close-up confirms failed patch adhesion.
Drainage Performance
SuboptimalDrainage Assessment: Functional but not optimal. Staining indicates ponding history.
