BUILDING ENVELOPE CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE
(For Red Shield Warranted Roofing Systems)
 Congratulations on your purchase of a Firestone
Roofing System. Your roof is a valuable asset that
should be properly maintained. All roofs and roofing systems require periodic inspection and
maintenance to perform as designed and to keep your
Limited Warranty in full force and effect.
 1.
    
    The roof should be inspected at least twice yearly and after any severe storms. A record of
all inspection and maintenance activities should be maintained, including a listing of the
date and time of each activity as well as the identification of the parties performing the
activity.2.
    
    Proper maintenance and good roofing practice require that ponded water (defined as water
standing on the roof forty-eight hours after it stops raining) not be allowed on the roof.
Roofs should have slope to drain, and all drain areas must remain clean. Bag and remove all
debris from the roof since such debris can be quickly swept into drains by rain. This will
allow for proper water run-off and avoid overloading the roof.3.
    
    The Firestone Roofing System should not be exposed to acids, solvents, greases, oil, fats,
chemicals and the like. If the Firestone Roofing System is in contact with any such materials,
these contaminants should be removed immediately and any damaged areas should be Inspected by
a Firestone Licensed Applicator and repaired if necessary.4.
    
    The Firestone Roofing System is designed to be a waterproofing membrane and not a traffic
surface. Roof traffic other than periodic traffic to maintain rooftop equipment and conduct
periodic inspections should be prohibited. In any areas where periodic roof traffic may be
required to service rooftop equipment or to facilitate inspection of the roof, protective
walkways should be Installed by a Firestone Licensed Applicator as needed to protect the roof
surface from damage.5.
    
    Some Firestone roofing membranes require maintenance of the surface of the membrane:
 a.
    
    Smooth-surfaced Firestone APP membranes should be coated with an approved liquid
coating, such as Firestone Aluminum Roof Coating or Firestone AcryllTop applied in
accordance with Firestone specifications, in order to maximize the service life of the
membrane. If this coating is not applied as part of the initial roofing installation, It
should be applied within the first five years after the roof is Installed to help protect
the membrane from surface crazing and cracking. In addition, this coating should be
maintained as needed to re-coat any areas that have blistered, peeled or worn through.b.
    
    Granule-surfaced Firestone APP and SBS membranes do not normally require surface
maintenance other than periodic Inspection for contaminants, cuts or punctures. If areas of
granular loss are discovered during Inspection, these areas should be coated with Firestone
AcryllTop or other Firestone-approved coating applied in accordance
with Firestone specifications.c.
    
    Gravel-surfaced Firestone BUR membranes do not normally require surface
maintenance other than periodic Inspection for contaminants or damage. If areas of gravel
loss are discovered during inspection, gravel must be reinstalled into hot asphalt to
protect the surface of the membrane. Coatings on smooth surface BUR membranes must be
maintained as needed to re-coat any areas that have blistered, peeled or worn through.d.
    
    Firestone EPDM and JPO roofing membranes do not normally require surface
maintenance other than periodic Inspection for contaminants, cuts or punctures.
Occasionally, approved liquid roof coatings, such as Firestone AcryllTop, are applied to the
surface of EPDM membranes in order to provide a lighter surface color. Such coatings do not
need to be maintained to assure the performance of the underlying EPDM roof membrane, but
some maintenance and re-coating may be necessary in order to maintain a uniform surface
appearance.e.
    
    Firestone Una-Clad metal roofing panels and trim do not normally require surface
maintenance other than periodic inspection for contaminants or damage. In addition, periodic
cleaning of the surface may be required to remove dirt and maintain the aesthetic appearance
of the coated metal. Simple washing with plain water using hoses or pressure spray equipment
is usually adequate. If cleaning with agents other than water is contemplated, several
precautions should be observed: (1) do not use wire brushes, abrasives, or similar cleaning
tools which will mechanically abrade the coating surface, and (2) cleaning agents should be
tested in an Inconspicuous area before use on a large scale.
 6.
    
    All metal work, Including counter-flashings, drains, skylights, equipment curbs and supports,
and other Firestone brand rooftop accessories must be properly maintained at all times.
Particular attention should be paid to sealants at joints in metal work and flashings. If
cracking or shrinkage is observed, the joint sealant should be removed and replaced with new
sealant.7.
    
    Any alterations to the roof, Including but not limited to roof curbs, pipe penetrations,
roof-mounted accessories, and tie-Ins to building additions must be performed by a licensed Firestone Licensed Applicator and
reported to Firestone. Additional Information and reporting forms for roof alterations are available at
www.firestonebpco.com.9.

NOW THAT YOU HAVE
A NEW FIRESTONE
ROOFING SYSTEM...
   1. ROOF CONDITIONS REQUIRING PERIODIC INSPECTION:
  a.
    
    Roof Traffic & Walkways: The Firestone Roofing System is designed to be a
waterproofing componentnot a traffic bearing component of the building envelope. As
stated in Firestones System Design Instructions for all Firestone Roofing Systems,
Walkways help protect the membrane from damage due to necessary roof-top service
traffic. Please note that walkways should be maintained at all roof access points,
around all mechanical equipment which requires maintenance and at all areas where roof
traffic more frequent than once a month is anticipated. If, because of traffic
requirements, walkways need to be installed on your roof, contact your Firestone Licensed
Applicator before proceeding.b.
    
    Discharges: All components of the Firestone roof system must be protected from
discharges, such as petroleum products, greases, oils and fats, acids and the like, if
the building will have any such discharges, please contact Firestone for suggested
methods of protection. If, because of the presence of chemical discharges, protection
measures are recommended, contact your Firestone Licensed Applicator before proceeding.

c.
    
    Ponding Water: Proper maintenance and good roofing practice suggests that ponded water
(defined as standing water on the roof forty-eight (48) hours after it stops raining)
should not be allowed on the roof. Roofs should have slope to drain and all drain areas
should remain clean. If ponded water areas are observed on the roof that cannot be
corrected by periodic cleaning of drain areas, contact your Firestone Licensed Applicator
for suggestions.d.
    
    Storms: The building envelope should be inspected after any severe storm,
especially after any storm that involves high sustained winds, heavy wind gusts or
tornado-like-conditions. All roof surfaces should be inspected for damage caused by
wind-blown debris. The roof also should be inspected after any hail or ice storm which
could have damaged the roofing system. If storm-related damage to the roof system is
observed, contact your Firestone Licensed Applicator before proceeding.e.
    
    Moisture Infiltration: It is very important to inspect the roofing system for
moisture infiltration from sources excluded by Firestones Limited Warranty. These
sources can include but are not limited to:
 1.
    
    Latent moisture in a pre-existing roofing system or roof insulation
remaining beneath the Firestone Roofing System.2.
    
    Moisture infiltration in or through building walls, copings, mortar
joints and roof-top equipment.3.
    
    Condensation of water vapor within the roofing system due to temperature
and humidity differentials.
 Because inspection for moisture infiltration requires professional roofing experience, Firestone
recommends that this inspection be performed by a Firestone Licensed Applicator at least once a
year.

3 FIRESTONE PRODUCTS REQUIRING PERIODIC INSPECTION:
  a.
    
    The Firestone Roofing Membrane should be inspected for tears or punctures caused
by wind storms, falling objects, roof traffic and the like, if the Firestone membrane is
supplied with a factory applied coating, such as roofing granules, the coating should be
inspected for any discontinuities caused by abrasion from wind, roof traffic or other
sources. Tears, punctures and abrasions to the membrane must be repaired by a Licensed
Firestone Applicator using Firestone specified repair procedures.In addition, the membrane should be inspected for any contamination from discharges, such
as petroleum products, greases, oils and fats, acids and the like. If any such discharges
are observed on the membrane, please contact Firestone for suggested methods of
protection. If, because of the presence of chemical discharges, protection measures are
recommended by Firestone, contact your Firestone Licensed Applicator before proceeding.b.
    
    Firestone Wall Flashings also should be inspected for tears, punctures, abrasion
and contamination from discharges, following the same procedures as for the Firestone
Roof Membrane.
