What do you do if you can't tear off or restructure it? I am doing research for a company. Please help. Roofing gets in your blood. |

We use these solar roof pumps. My son and
I invented these, but sold the company last year. They work well.

Tapered insulation to build up the low spot,
or,
add a drain in the low spot,
or,
maybe cut out a channel to try to drain water away from the low spot.
I've done all of these things with varied results.
The biggest problem I have found is when you try to eliminate the low spot you just end up moving it to another spot.

Ideally you move it to a "spot" on the ground. |

I agree with GKRFG Tapered or a drain. I think if you use 4'x4' tapered. I believe they are lettered "x" and "y".
One end of the ISO is 1/2" the other goes up to 2".
Use them to build a cricket which can divert water around.
Of course popping a drain in that spot will pretty much always work. |

If ponding is not too serious, and water evaporates in 48 to 72 hours, I think that years ago, NRCA felt that it was of no consequence.
Tapered insulation, crickets, should be considered, along w/ asphaltic perlite(silbrico). Just curious if they are still in business. |

Hey Cid. Did you ever run into a situation on a tear off where someone had used sand to build a cricket and then roofed over it? I have seen that a couple of times years ago, but I don't do much tear off any more. |

Yes, once or twice.
When applying a tapered insulation, undulations in the concrete deck have to be corrected.
We had that situation in a famous government building in DC. Our super merely poured hot asphalt on and let it seek its own level.
And in a reroof of a local high school, undulations were a major latent condition
which I trust the contractor was paid for cause it was substantial. |

A relatively new product on the market is "Roofslope". Basically a water impervious concrete mixture that you use to create a 'cricket' on top of the roof to divert water to its intended place.

That is another interesting fluff topic--is it a saddle or cricket??
I started my career in 1980 as a tapered insulation draftsman/estimator. I still don't know the difference between the two!! |

A cricket has two valleys and a saddle has four.
A saddle would be like a breezeway and a cricket would be behind a chimeny, for examples.
Fluff topic? I guess you are right.
Is this DIFFICULT???????? |

Difficult?? Not now that you have explained the difference. In 32 years in the business I had never had that explained--you learn something every day. Thanks for the lesson. |
