Ballast System Inspection
Ballast
If a ballasted system has been installed, make sure the ballast
is evenly distributed. Extreme care should be taken when inspecting
the ballast, reviewing the corners, perimeter, and around penetrations
for bare spots due to the increased wind effects in these areas. The
ballast should be redistributed, taking care to not damage the roofing system. If your inspections reveal that the ballast is being moved
repeatedly, it may be necessary to place an interlocking paver system
in these areas. The even distribution of ballast can have a direct
correlation to the longevity of a roofing system.
