Roofing

[excalibur]

Ok guys i need some help here, in Montréal Quebec, i did an inspection on a roofing section of a condo 2006 contruction year. And this is the type of roof installation a saw any idea if this situation is proper ?

First we have a asphalted roof type with gravel and second we have roof membrane ?

I've detected that this roof has a improper drainage slope and many other problems in and out of this building.

Not so many mistakes for a French guy !

What's the membrane? Is it modified bitumen?

There are few roofing materials that are approved for ponding; very few. If it's modified, mfg's. will not guarantee it in ponding conditions.

Looks almost like rolled roofing material.

Actually it is a Rolled roofing material , but this building has so many problems that i would not be suprise that this roof was made by an amateur .

I don't see any seams. This should give you a good clue as to what the roof material is.

Maybe it's just me, but I'd make sure you put a board or a piece of plywood under you ladder legs next time.
