Evaluation of All Skylights
Skylight is overall in acceptable and functional standing. Issues with drip leaks in southwest corner are common of skylights this style and age in your region. Perform full re-seal of existing skylight system for each glazing section and monitor for any new leaks until service can be performed.
Five Year Plan
- Priority 1 – Immediate (must be done; leaks, life safety etc.)
a. 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)
a. Full re-seal - Priority 3 – Long term (within 5 years or more)
a. Re-inspect every five years
