During the course of a home inspection, it is important for the home inspection engineer to fully assess the condition of a flat roof. It is poor practice to tar a flat roof parapet wall and in this case, the tar
has fallen off the parapet wall.
This is an important reason why home buyers should retain the knowledgeable services of a licensed Professional Engineer to conduct their home inspection rather than a non-engineer
inspector (whether or not the inspector holds a license as a home inspector or not). A licensed Professional Engineer has the knowledge to not only find issues, but to also recommend a repair solution.
