Abstract
This presentation is designed to provide the roof consultant with the information and techniques required to properly inspectd and diagnose tile roof system. While many consultants are familiar with tile systems in general, there is a large amount of "trade-specific" informaiton that can make inspections safer and more effective and analyses more accurate. A preliminary disucssion of tile histories, installation methods and idustry standards provides the best background for our evaluations. Various issues such as flashing methods, environmental quality impact, design considerations, and specifications provide insight specific to tile sytsems. This presentation proceeds with discussion of theinspection process itself, followed by means to determine service life and criteria for a "repair vs replacement" option. The disucssion is concluded with the role of the roof consultant in developing and implementing maintenance programs for existing systems as well as specifictions and oversight of new system installation.
