A single-ply roof crew finds damp cover board after an overnight storm, but the adhesive window is closing. What should the superintendent require?

Correct Answer

C) Wait until the substrate meets the manufacturer's dry and clean condition before adhering membrane

The superintendent should install the membrane and rely on sun heat to dry trapped moisture
B
The superintendent should broadcast dry cement over the board and proceed
C
Wait until the substrate meets the manufacturer's dry and clean condition before adhering membrane
D
Fasten only the seams and skip field adhesion

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Membrane adhesion over damp substrate can trap moisture and compromise bond; the substrate should meet the manufacturer's dry, clean installation requirements. Other choices hide moisture or omit required attachment.
