English term or phrase: pitch pocket
Es un manual de tareas que se deben hacer en un hotel. Dentro de la parte de Roof Maintenance.
La frase dice "Make sure pitch pockets are not full"

Según lo que he encontrado, la definición de pitch pocket en este contexto podria ser: " flanged piece of flashing material placed around irregularly shaped roof penetrations and filled with grout and a pourable sealer to seal around the penetration in order to seal it from against moisture entry"
No he podido encontrar un equivalente en español, ni siquiera una palabra general que pueda abarcar al término. Alguien me puede ayudar?

cajas impermeabilizantes


Explanation:
son cajas de acuerdo a tu descripción que se instalan en los recovecos de los techos de los edificios con objeto de impermeabilizar las partes vulnerables y asegurarse que la impermeabilización del techo está completa. La palabra pitch viene de un subproducto del chapopote (tar) que antes de tener acceso a mejores impermeabilizantes se usaba para sellar las cajas.
