Introduction
At the request of Mr. Jeff Pruitt, Mark Tanner of M. Tanner Contracting and Roy Weidman of Atlanta Roofing Resources completed an examination of the roofs at Roswell River Landing on October 22, 2013. The examination was conducted in an effort to identify the sources of current leaks and collect information necessary to develop roof replacement and restoration recommendations. Information gathered during the roof examination is summarized in this report.

Roof Construction
The roofs inspected at Roswell River Landing are separated into five different roof sections. The main roof is a steep sloped shingle roof. The shingle roof slopes steeply from a central metal covered chimney. The slope of the roof diminishes as it reaches the eaves. The last fifteen feet of the roof on all four sides has a slope of less than three inches per foot. The shingle roof terminates at all four sides with aluminum gutters and integral gutter covers. The chimney is sheathed in plywood and covered with shingles. The four smaller roofs on either side of the main roof are covered with two ply cold applied smooth surfaced modified bitumen roofs installed over plywood decks. These roofs are essentially flat and hold water around internally plumbed roof drains. Each of the two larger low slope roof sections has three covered curbs. The west roof section is over the Mens Room and Storage and the east roof section is over the Ladies Room and Storage.

Roof Conditions
The roof examination determined that leaks are entering the facility through several roof and roof related components. Defects that were found above or aligned with the leaks include the following: 1. Aged, delaminated, and failed shingles. The protective granules have worn off, leaving fiberglass stands exposed. 2. Exposed shingle staples. 3. Defective chimney cover. 4. Defective chimney cover fasteners. 5. Collapsed decking over the east low slope roof section. 6. Excessive build up of debris and ponding water on the low slope roof areas. Photographs taken of the roofs and related defects during the examination follow.

Shingles used on the vertical chimney surface do not meet current manufacturers requirements. A vertical wall siding detail separated from the roof with metal counterflashing is a warranted detail.

These water defectors are not warranted details and will be eliminated.

The steeply sloped shingle roof transitions to a moderately sloped roof around the last fifteen feet of the main roof. The last fifteen feet of the main roof, all around the perimeter, will require installation of Ice and Water Shield to protect the deck.

All of the shingles have failed. The shingles appear to be the original shingles installed when the structure was built. The shingles are eroded, protective granules are missing, glass fibers are visible, and many shingle staples are protruding.

Exposed staples are shown above and below. Staples are no longer an approved fastening method for manufacturer warranted shingle roofs.

The chimney cover is badly rusted and is leaking. Exposed fasteners have backed out. The chimney cover, the stack cover, and the stack collar should all be replaced with pre-finished corrosion and rust resistant metal.

The upper east roof section should have the covered curbs removed and the roof should be restored.

The upper west low slope roof area has collapsed around the covered curbs and drains. We found rotten decking and sagging joists below the sunken curb.
