Presented to: Mr. Dennis Miller Prepared by: Roy Weidman

October 12, 2010

Introduction
At the request of and with the assistance of Mr. Dennis Miller, Roy Weidman of Viridian Systems and Progressive Roofing, the TCPN roof provider, conducted examinations of the metal roof and related details on 820 Community Circle on September 28 and September 30, 2010. The purpose of the examination was to identify sources of current leaks and make recommendations for roof repairs necessary to stop the current leaks. Information gathered during the two roof examinations follows.

Construction
The roof system on 820 Community Circle is constructed of a low profile metal R Panel roof system that slopes moderately from the ridge to the sides where water is collected in gutters. The roof is surrounded on the south, east, and west sides by an eye beam and metal mansard wall panels. The roof has six fiberglass skylights, five plumbing stacks, and eight heater stacks. The roof is terminated at the ridge with a low profile ridge cap.

Conditions
Currently the roof is leaking through the skylights and around the perimeter. Conditions observed during the examinations include the following: 1. The gutters are under sized and tucked up under the metal roof panels. The gutters and downspouts are inadequate in size and capacity to handle the water flowing off of the roof. 2. One of the fiberglass skylights is leaking. All of the fiberglass skylights are aged, frayed, and will be rendered obsolete due to the interior build out. The skylights should be removed and replaced with new metal roof panels. 3. The metal panels along the south edge of the roof are defected; likely due to foot traffic. Several of the deflected roof panel sections pond water after rain. Several of the crimped areas are split open. 4. All of the fasteners are original and the neoprene washers are defective. Many fasteners are missing, leaving holes in the metal roof panels. 5. The ridge cap is open at seams and all of the foam closure strips under the ridge cap are either missing or compressed, allowing water to blow up under the ridge cap. 6. The metal wall panel covering the south, east, and west elevations is open at the top and inside face. Leaves and other debris collect behind the wall. Water enters freely through the exposed inside face of the mansard, and seeps through the soffits. 7. An area approximately 10 feet wide and 130 feet long along the north edge has become rusty. Photographs of the roof construction and conditions on 820 Community Circle follow.

Leaks have been entering through the skylights.

The skylights will become obsolete due to the construction of the ceiling below the skylights.

The mansard wall is open at the top and along the inside face on three elevations. This open mansard allows leaves and rain to enter the area, clogging the gutters and the surface above the soffits.
