Here you see an asset of about 32 years, a second generation synthetic rubber sheet, ballasted by #4 river rock. Looking at the membrane on the perimeter walls, it is clear that it has become detached, or tenting. Must this asset be replaced? Has it met the end of service? Absolutely not! The wall flashings must be slit, relaxed, adhered to the wall, securely attached by using batten bars, and stripped-in with a new rubber flashing. Today, these assets at Emory Decatur Hospital are approaching 40 years of service and will never need replacing,

This photo shows a slit the base/wall flashings and allowing them to relax. Next, the relaxed membrane will become adhered to the wooden surfaces and a retaining bar fastened along the lower portion of the rubber, maintaining it securely. Afterwards, new rubber flashings will enclose the exposed retaining bars and another flashing will seal the slit rubber edges. Voila, ready to serve for another 35 years!
We teach this process at our warehouse.

Owners and Asset Managers issue leases that require they be notified of equipment changes and new installs. However, most tenants do not pay attention or read that paragraph and leave an owner with potentially devastating conditions. We advise owners to request plans of the methods of installation and placement. Hopefully, they stay ahead of potential issues, reading plans and schematics while advising the tenants.

Washington Adventist Hospital
For nearly 20 years, Andrew D. Knapp was given the responsibility of assuring that, 24 hours each day, all of the assorted campus structures were maintained in a leak-free status, acting in an on-call position at any hour. Five different methods and waterproofing materials were utilized, successfully, the majority of which are seen in the satellite view. Today, we deliver the same materials.
