Roof information for San Diego facility teams
Review commercial roof drainage concerns
Map drains, scuppers, overflow paths, and recurring water observations for professional review.
Understand the condition
Recurring water near a drain or low area deserves a dated map, not an assumption that one clogged outlet explains the roof condition.
Facility staff can record when water is observed from safe authorized locations while leaving roof access and diagnosis to qualified people.
Connect drainage observations to the assembly
Ask the inspector to address primary drains, scuppers, overflow provisions, strainers, nearby seams, supports, and any changes that redirect flow. Use a roof sketch to distinguish primary drainage, overflow routes, low observations, equipment discharge, and structural slope questions. Record elapsed time after rainfall when safely observable; one image during rainfall cannot establish chronic ponding or prove that an outlet caused an interior symptom.
Separate routine cleaning, localized repair, slope-related work, and larger drainage redesign because they solve different conditions. Ask how flow will be checked after cleaning or repair and which conditions remain outside the proposal. Compare drain-body, membrane-flashing, scupper, overflow, and slope work separately. Return dated photographs and observations to the same outlet labels for later maintenance.
- Map every outlet and observed low area
- Record timing after rainfall
- Keep cleaning separate from repair acceptance
