发帖数: 5158 | 1 1.0 ROOF COVERINGSAttention Required
The roof has pitched cement tile roofing and the balance of roofing area(s)
has a flat/low slope design covered with built up roofing (asphalt and
gravel). Due to the nature of the flat roof construction water will likely
pond on the roof surface after normal rainfall.
The pitched cement tile roof at upper area appears intact and functional
with lower NE pitched cement tile roof has some cracked/broken tiles
observed at middle SW area.
The asphalt and gravel roof covering appears to be the original roof, older
and the life of covering is approaching the latter stages of life. While it
could last a few years or so, some areas may need patching with tar as leaks
develop.
The asphalt and gravel roof has some gravel erosion/dissipation with bare
areas observed and should be re-graveled over time as needed.
The roof has various cracked/chipped stucco "parapet" tops and corners
observed.
"Parapet" - Walls enclosing the flat or shallow sloped roof perimeter areas
common among pueblo/territorial style architecture/construction.
The roof has some tree limbs/branches observed in close proximity to roof
which should be monitored/maintained, i.e. trimmed back away from roof over
time as needed.
Recommend trimming limbs and branches back away from roof by qualified
person as needed.
Tree branches/bushes and any vegetation near roof will need periodical
trimming from roof area to avoid any potential wear and damage to roof as
needed.
The roof has various split flashings observed, "See section 1.1 flashings".
Should further evaluation be required, recommend contacting reputable
licensed roof contractor for further evaluation and/or repairs as needed.
Inspector doesnotoffer an opinion or warranty as to weather the roof
leaks now or may be subject to future leakage.
1.1 FLASHINGSAttention Required
Roof has various split vent pipe flashings observed.
Recommend resealing any and all split flashings as needed by qualified
person or reputable licensed roof contractor.
Roof flashings can and will split open over time and ongoing maintenance of
these items is strongly recommended.
2.0 HEATING EQUIPMENTAttention Required
(1) The Burnham brand gas fired boiler hydronic heating system was located
at garage.
The gas fired boiler with Amtrol water heater storage tank in place.
This unit is approximately20+ years old and has a heating capacity rated
at198,000 BTU's. The average operating life expectancy for most natural
gas fired boilers/hydronic heating systems is 30-35 years. The gas fired
boiler/hydronic heating system 6-zone radiant base board heat was found to
be functional at time of inspection.
The boiler/hydronic heating system with holding tank serves not only to
provide domestic hot water (i.e. bathing, dishes, cooking etc.) but also
provides the heat for the home (Hydronic). Hydronic water heaters have a
higher BTU or ability to heat water hotter than a"Standard" water heater.
This means that some Heating Contractors or Public Service Gas companies may
differ on opinion as to whether or not the Amtrol 41 gallon water heater
holding tank will adequately heat the home. Because water heater has been
replaced, one may infer that if it was not adequately heating the home.
Inspector is unable to determine if the Amtrol 41 gallon holding tank water
heater will adequately heat the home and produce adequate hot water for
plumbing related items. Should further evaluation be required, inspector
recommends obtaining a second opinion from a reputable gas licensed boiler/
hydronic heating system technician/professional with boiler/hydronic heat
shared domestic hot water systems.
