The book starts by setting out the duties of a building pathologist in the context of the modern roofing industry; defining failure and explaining its underlying causes. The main chapters then deal with the main specific types of failure: fire; shrinkage and roofing systems displacement; calendar shrinkage; foam insulation shrinkage and stretched membranes; plasticizer migration; bitumen incompatibility; built-up roofing felt porosity; blistering; thermal insulation instability; foam insulation problems; torch applications; polymer dispersion; asphalt-glass fibre shingle splitting; lack of appropriate venting; problems with cool roofing and problems with organic fibre-portland cement shingles. The book concludes with an outline of the principal rules for long service life roofing.
