• Total removal of Roof Coverings and Insulation often is unnecessary.
ROOF COVERING
INSULATION
Roof Replacement involves the removal of roof covering and insulation to the deck
• Unnecessary removal is not in line with “waste reduction” and sustainability goals of nearly all organizations.
Why does a roof need replacement?1. Significant wet insulation or defective deck
2. Poor Drainage – Ponding
3. Chronic serious leaking
4. “Looks Shot”
5. “It’s very old…”
6. “Just got some money”
7. “The professionals told me so”

NON DISRUPTIVE Roof Management Objectives:
• Extend Life of Roofs/Defer Roof Replacement
• Cost Reduction (Cost of Capital)
• Leak Management
• Financially effective use of Maintenance
Dollars using Expected Life Returns (ROI)
• Management of Capital
• Long Term Budget Forecasting based on Expected Life
• Prioritize through use of Sensitivity and Severity ratings
• Life Cycle Cost Considerations
• Minimize Annualized Cost of Ownership

Allows precise detection of wet insulation and OPTIMIZED MAINTENANCE
OPTIMIZED MAINTENANCE means thatRoof life expectancy can be extended without
DISRUPTION!
Timing is Important
Nearly all Roof Types can be maintained and restored to extend their service life if they are reached at the right time.
Knowing what you have is critical!
OPTIMIZED Maintenance Stops
Problems before they start;
• Extends Roof life, lowering life cycle costs.
• Reduces the possibility of component damage.
• Reduces major repair expenditures later.
• Reduces interruptions to operations.
• Reduces liability due to injuries.
• Reduces potential for mold growth.
Saves the Cost of Capital by Deferring
Roof Replacement.
MAXIMIZES RETURN ON COSTS.
MINIMIZES DISRUPTIONS!
Deferring Roof Replacement can Pay for itself!(on $1,000,000 of capital)

Information Management and Evaluation
RATING THE ROOF: Life Expectancy
• Rate the roof based on construction details, age, leak history and
the number, type and severity of existing defects
• Estimate expected life in current condition without maintenance
• Estimate expected life with optimized maintenance
• Determine if Maintenance “pays”

What’s Liquid-Applied Roofing?
Cleaning / Preparation
Liquid-Applied RoofingPrimer
• Primers vary depending on substrate
Liquid-Applied RoofingFlashings
• Completed before the field application
• Embed Reinforcement - Glass Mat or Polyester
Liquid-Applied RoofingBase Coat
Liquid-Applied RoofingReinforcing Membrane - Glass Mat or Polyester
Liquid-Applied RoofingTop Coat
Liquid-Applied RoofingFinished System
Traditional Insulated Built-Up Assemblies
Why Liquid-Applied?• Liquid-applied systems derive most of their performance characteristics from the “fluid
material” used: acrylic, polyurethane, polymethylmethacrylate, etc.
• Single ply, Modified and BUR systems derive their primary performance characteristics from their ply sheets and ply sheet structure.
