PROJECT: Public Library
Bowmanville, Ontario
DATE OF INSPECTION: June 19, 1984
INTRODUCTION
At the request of Mr. D. Homeniuk of the Town of Newcastle, Warnock
Hersey Professional Services Ltd. conducted a visual examination of the
above roofing and sheet metal on the above project. The purpose of this
inspection was to determine the existing condition of the roof system
and provide specifications and drawings for remedial repairs presently
required.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The above project was constructed in 1964, which would make the existing
roofing and sheet metal system approximately 20 years old. A new addi-
tion was added onto the building in 1982. Roof leaks were reported by
the tenants around the perimeter of the roof area and above the front
lobby. Only one roof leak was located in the center of the building.

TECHNICAL APPROACH
To ensure completeness and accuracy of this investigation, visual exam-
ination of the roof was supplemented with cut tests and subsequent lab-
oratory examinations. Samples of the roof were removed and the areas
temporarily repaired. The samples were then used to determine the type
of bitumen used, the consistency of interply moppings, the makeup of the
membrane and the thickness of insulation present. In addition, any
physical abnormalities found in the samples which may affect the future
performance of the membrane or deck were also evaluated. (If this re-
port is not acted upon within 60 days, permanent repairs should be made
by a roofing contractor).
ANALYSIS OF CORE SAMPLES
Core Sample X11
Deck: - steel
Vapour Barrier: - none
Insulation: - 1-112 fiberglas
Roof Membrane: - 4 ply asphalt felt and gravel
Membrane Life Expectancy: - 0-5 years
Core Sample #2
Deck: - steel
Vapour Barrier: - none
Insulation: - 1-112 fibergl.as
Roof Membrane: - 4 ply asphalt felt and gravel
Membrane Life Expectancy: - 0 years
RESULTS OF THE VISUAL SURVEY
The entire roof membrane was visually examined and found to be in fair
to poor condition. Large blister and ridge formations were observed
throughout the roof area. The core samples analysed confirmed adequate
quantities of asphalt and 4 plies of asphalt felt, however, delamination
between the second and third plies have occurred, due to improper
initial application methods by the original roofing contractor. There
were no composite felt base flashings installed around the perimeter of
the building and it was noted that the built-up roof membrane was only
installed approximately 2 inches above the wood cant strip. This condi-
tion would be the most probable cause of the present roof leaks.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Due to the present age and condition of the above roof membrane, we
recommend that the entire roof system be replaced as per the attached
drawings and specifications. Major remedial repairs are not being
recommended at this time because we do not feel that the roof membrane
can be restored in its present condition.
It is presently estimated that the total replacement cost will be
approximately $20,000.00.
