Abstract
Ever since we have been installing roofing systems on structural concrete decks, roofing professionals have known that an important factor in how well an installation will proform over time depends on the concrete deck being a suitable substrate for the roofing system. Generally we use terms such as "clean," "smooth," "even," and "dry" to describe a concrete deck that is suitable for receiving a new roofing system.
