	Roof Repairs
		Many roof problems can be traced directly to inadequately designed or improperly installed drainage systems; for example, the use of only one drain; the failure to install overflow scuppers in parapet walls; the placement of drains next to support columns instead of at points of maximum deflection; loose or missing drain clamping rings.
		A frequent cause of roof leakage and roof collapse is excessive ponding on the roof surface due to clogged drains and/or scuppers.
		If roof damage is observed during a storm, it is generally not advisable to attempt repairs or damage control until after the storm because of the danger of high winds and the possibility of a lightning strike.

		Install a roof deck of solid plywood, 5/8" thickness, to maximize wind and windborne debris resistance with 10d common nails spaced at 4 inches along the panel edges and every six inches in the field of the plywood panel.
		Finally, you can significantly increase the roof's resistance to uplift from the wind by applying a bead of construction adhesive using a caulking gun along both sides of the intersection of the roof decking and the rafters or trusses.
