GRLA initially conducted studies to source leaks of the 15,000 SF EPDM roof membrane system. After a program of limited roof insulation replacement, and infrared thermography monitoring, it was determined that the brick masonry parapet walls were the source of the leaks. GRLA investigated the owner’s options, and due to budget and access constraints, GRLA proposed the option of over-cladding the parapets with an exterior insulation and finish system coupled with complete roof replacement. GRLA monitored the roof using infrared thermography to ensure water penetration to the roof did not return.
