the financial burden.
-
Identify any leaks and determine if they can be temporarily repaired ahead of the storm.
-
Complete a comprehensive roof and exterior wall system inspection and assessment to ensure your
building enclosure is as secure as possible.
-
Establish performance expectations at pre-negotiated rates for disaster response.
After the Storm
-
Assess the severity of weather-related damage to the building’s exterior.
-
Conduct an infrared or nuclear moisture scan of the roof to identify any “below the roof” issues.
-
Use Garland’s Comprehensive Laboratory Effective Analysis Reporting Program (CLEAR™) to
conduct a roof sample assessment analysis. -

-
Input roof and exterior wall inspection data into Garland’s Roof Asset Management Program (RAMP®).
