Roof Drainage Test Signoff Missing Before Final Payment Email Template

Use this page when final payment is delayed because the buyer says the roof drainage test signoff, roof fall and drainage acceptance record, or rainwater run-off test approval is still missing. This is different from a roofing warranty inspection because it focuses on proving that the finished roof drains correctly under test conditions. The exact problem is that the roof may be installed and visually complete, but the payer is still holding payment until the drainage performance has been formally accepted. Your email should ask whether roof-drainage signoff is the only remaining blocker, whether the drainage test has already been performed, what ponding or performance concern is still open, and whether payment will be released once the signoff is issued. The outcome you want is to force the buyer to identify the one remaining roof-drainage acceptance issue rather than rely on generic roof-completion concerns. It is commercially strong because one unresolved drainage signoff can delay closeout cash even when the roofing package is otherwise complete.
