Holes in caulking and fiber blooming. 
Typical example of the conditions of the fiberglass skylights.
- Glazing: Fiberglass, single glazed, not fall protected.
- Structure: Adequate spacing and size structural aluminum frame.
- Anchors: Anchoring system is rusted and requires further discovery.
- Curbs: Curbs low to roof.
- Flashing: Metal flashing; adequate in condition.
- Evaluation: Skylights are showing their age; they are yellowing and exhibiting fiber bloom.
- Rating: 4 of 10
- Expected Life Span: 3-5 years.
- Recommendation: A complete wet seal would repair and prevent leaks for the expected life span. Replacement should be considered.
Skylight Manufacturer: WASCO.
Ten (10) 5’ x 5’ acrylic, pyramid, curb mount, 80’s era skylights.
One group of four acrylic, pyramid skylights. 
These types of repairs do not address the real problem and typically lead to more issues.

- Anchors: Adequate anchor size and count around perimeter.
- Curbs: Adequate height.
- Flashing: EPDM roofing wraps curb and is in decent condition.
- Rating: 3 of 10
- Expected Life Span:1-3 years.
- Recommendation: One of the skylights is leaking and should be replaced. All skylights show multiple attempts to repair past leaks and should be replaced to prevent future issues and to provide fall protection.
Skylight Manufacturer: Unknown.
One (1) 9’ x 20’ (nominal) glass with reflective film, single slope, structural, 80’s era skylight.

- Flashing: Metal flashing shows signs of water penetration on ceiling above system.
