Houston Methodist Hospital System

Zero/Six is currently providing biannual roof assessments for eleven (11) Houston Methodist Hospital System facilities located in the Houston Medical Center. Onsite inspectors performed visual inspections of the roofs including Thermography scans. All areas which indicated the possibility of water trapped below the roof membrane during the Thermography scans were further investigated by means of a Tramex moisture meter.

Zero/Six generated field reports outlining deficiencies observed in pinpointed locations with repair recommendations and recommended repair timelines. The Zero/Six team tracked deficiencies through a roof management database which was made accessible to Methodist personnel through our secure, cloud-based Facility Asset Management Program.
