Roof Condition

• Structural damage caused by catastrophic events (such as storms)
• Structural damage caused by long term degradation to the point of failure.

• Roofs under active construction.
• Temporarily repaired structural damage.
• Other forms of roof degradation that are unlikely to leak in the event of normal rainfall (ponding, rusting, discolouration).
• Damaged roof where the building underneath has been fully destroyed (a structurally damaged roof is attached to a building structure).

Structural damage is most useful to assess buildings after a catastrophic event - however it can also detect buildings that are run down to the point of no longer being habitable. The expectation is that a roof with structural damage must be urgently repaired in order to keep the building habitable.
