Default wind mit on foam insulated roof
Does anyone have any tips on the proper procedure for inspecting a roof system that has the straps and top cord of the trusses covered by foam insulation?

Rip it off, or you gotta go with unknown/undetermined. The form is pretty specific and requires photos of nail pattern & clips/straps. So if you cant see it, how would you photograph it.

Is it insulation or foam adhesive? If its adhesive (with docs), it counts as (C) for deck nailing. If the strap is obscured, check "other" with comments.

Have the owner remove some to determine nail spacing ,etc.(or do it for them and you will be a hero). As far as roof to wall go through the soffitvent or call me and I will tell you some other ways.

Sofits can be the easist part to remove. I run into these every so often.
