Evaluation of All Skylights

All of the skylights on this building are in great condition and no work is needed at this time. We did note hail dents on the framing of the skylight, and a few in the glazing, but this is only cosmetic. Always monitor for leaks, (dripping or water damage on wall below structure) and perform basic maintenance.

Unresolved leaks can create damage to the structure of the skylight system, the interior of the building and can also create mold and rust to develop.

Five Year Plan

• Priority 1 – Immediate (must be done; leaks, life safety etc.)
  • Do not let any personnel or visitors access to the roof without proper fall protection training and equipment.
• Priority 2 – Short Term (should be done within the next year or two)
  • Monitor skylights for leaks or broken glazing between bays.
• Priority 3 – Long term (within 5 years or more)
  • Re-inspect every five years.
  • Basic maintenance (wet-seal, if needed).
