We conducted an all-day walkthrough and HVAC estimate at Quiet Waters to assess the roofing modifications required for optimal HVAC performance and compliance with safety standards. This meticulous process began with a detailed exterior roof evaluation, focusing on the structural integrity and condition of the roof. Key inspection points included identifying visible damage such as blisters, punctures, and cracks, as well as examining flashings and seals around existing HVAC units to prevent water intrusion. The team also assessed the roof’s load-bearing capacity to ensure it could support the weight of new HVAC equipment, with particular attention to mounting heavy components over beams for stability. Additionally, the placement of HVAC units was carefully evaluated to optimize performance while minimizing potential damage to the roofing system.
The interior inspection was equally thorough, utilizing advanced tools like moisture meters and infrared technology to detect hidden moisture issues that could compromise the building’s integrity. Inspectors checked for signs of water intrusion, bacterial growth, and structural damage, while also ensuring the drainage system, including gutters and roof drains, was functioning properly to prevent water pooling. The HVAC units themselves were reviewed for secure mounting, proper sealing, and any signs of wear or rust. This comprehensive approach ensured that all potential issues were identified, providing an accurate and actionable estimate for the necessary roofing modifications and HVAC upgrades. The walkthrough not only addressed the unique challenges of a waterfront property but also ensured that the proposed solutions would enhance the property’s durability, energy efficiency, and compliance with local building codes.
