InterNACHI Commercial Inspection Report

This commercial inspection was performed in accordance with InterNACHI's Commercial Standards Of Practice www.nachi.org/comsop.htm

.

This standard is designed as a baseline from which the inspector and client can develop and agree to a scope of work that may deviate from this standard depending on budget, time constraints, purpose of the inspection, age of the subject property, and risk tolerance of the client. The level of due diligence should be set where the cost, in time and money, of acquiring information about the subject property will not likely exceed the value of that information. Therefore an inspection performed in accordance with this standard will not be technically exhaustive. In recognizing that the client likely has the goal of acquiring information about the subject property at a cost, in time and money, that does not exceed the value of that information, representative observations are not just permitted by this standard, but recommended as well.

The client should understand that no inspection report is completely accurate. A report is only the written communication of the observations made and research conducted by the inspector. The report contains those items which in the inspector's opinion are likely to be of interest to his/her client. The client should understand that the inspection report is, to a large degree, the subjective opinions of the inspector based on his/her observations and research within the limits of access, time, and budget and without the aid of special equipment or meters and without dismantling, probing, testing, or troubleshooting and without detailed knowledge of the commercial property, its components or its systems. The inspection report is not much more than a subjective professional opinion. An inspector performing a commercial inspection in accordance with this standard is not practicing architecture or engineering. This inspection is not a warranty and the inspection report is merely the written communication of the inspector's subjective opinion on the condition of the subject property.

The level of accuracy of information varies depending on its source. The inspector may rely on information obtained to the extent that the information appears to be accurate and complete. This standard does not require the inspector to independently verify the accuracy of the documents reviewed by the inspector or included in the report nor the statements made by those interviewed by the inspector. The inspector is not a fraud investigator and this standard does not require the inspector to look for intentionally hidden deficiencies in the subject property. The inspection report is supplementary to the seller's disclosures.

Comments:

1.0

(1) The tree limbs that are in contact with the roof or hanging near the roof should be trimmed. Recommend trimming maple tree foliage to six feet away from the building. This is permissible when a tree that is growing on an adjacent property extends past the property line. This will reduce the volume of leaves reaching the roof.

.

1.1

(1) Asphalt pavement displays cracks. Grass and weed growth is present in some of the cracks. This includes gaps between the pavement and concrete curbing. To forestall continued deterioration, fill larger cracks and gaps with compatible sealant, and re-seal asphalt surfaces. Recommend sealer with 50% coal tar emulsion (more often available from asphalt company than a retail store). Optionally, add 25% by volume sharp silica sand to fill smaller voids in pavement surface.

(3) No compressible expansion material was observed between the exterior paving and the building. In turn, the likelihood of crack development is greater, despite the presence of control joints. Some such cracks are present.

1.1 (3) No compressible expansion material

(4) The back of curbing is exposed in several locations, revealing honeycomb. Best practice is to parge with mortar any honeycomb after curb installation. Recommend parging honeycomb on back sides of curbs to forestall deterioration from moisture and freezing effects.

(6) Crack in curb, possibly due to subsurface movement. Recommend exterior sealant to forestall spalling and growth of the crack. The ideal remediation is to cut out a section of the curb containing the crack, and replace with new curb. Dowel the new section to the existing sections, filling joints between new and existing with compressible expansion material and exterior sealant.

Also, large gap between concrete curb and asphalt paving, filling with debris. Recommend spraying out debris and filling with exterior sealant, as mentioned in other comment concerning cracks in asphalt pavement.

1.4

(1) Accessible parking signs are installed with the distance from the pavement to the bottom of the main sign at 51 inches, short of the 60 inch minimum dimension required by accessibility standards. Recommend installing pre-cast concrete wheel-stops for the two accessible parking spaces to prevent contact between vehicles and sign posts. Alternately, new sign posts with signs at proper height could be installed in the walk, 30 inches behind the curb.

2.0

(1) The roof exhibits several minor defects and efforts to patch problems. Some miscellaneous debris is present along with leaf debris. Leaves should be removed from roof surfaces. Decaying leaves are acidic and can adversely affect the panel finish. Recommend attention to defects and removal of debris, followed by periodic monitoring of roof conditions.

Where additional waterproofing is required, recommend brush-on Inland Coatings RC-2200 rubber seam compound, and urethane sealant as appropriate. (Do not use silicone sealant.) Where fasteners must be replaced, use a larger fastener with neoprene and metal washers.

(2) Some of the standard stitch screws in roof panels have had sealant applied to them where they are near to the gutter. It is understood that a past ice damming problem occurred along the gutter.

2.0 (2) Sealant on screws

.

(3) Gas piping has not been maintained in a painted or covered condition, and has in turn corroded. This corrosion has in turn caused corrosion stains on the galvalume roof panels due to galvanic action (dissimilar metals). This is a result of gas piping corrosion (iron oxide) being transferred to the aluminum coated roof panel by the effects of precipitation. Recommend painting or covering gas piping. Recommend removal of corrosion stains from roof panels. For light stains, an abrasive cleanser can be effective.

(4) The PVC condensate line for one of the rooftop units appears to have been both lengthened and shifted from the panel pan where it had apparently been previously located. Corrosion on the roof panel is evident. This can occur when dissolved copper ions in the condensate leaving the rooftop unit cause galvanic corrosion. Recommend extending all condensate lines to the gutter.

2.0 (4) PVC condensate line

(5) Treated wood blocks were used to support the gas piping, and should never be used on any roof, especially a metal roof.

These interfere with the flow of water. The wood becomes moist, creating corrosion beneath them. Treated wood preservatives include various salts and copper sulfate which enhance the process of corrosion, as is the case on this roof.

Recommend removal of wood blocks and installation of a pipe support system compatible with the roof. Recommend removal of corrosion and either painting of affected areas or application of brush-on Inland Coatings RC-2200 rubber seam compound. For severe corrosion, wire brushing or power sanding may be employed to completely remove it. Insure surface areas to be coated are completely clean and thoroughly rinsed with water.

2.1

(1) It is not the best practice to attach metal parapet caps with surface applied fasteners. Fasteners used include metal washers, and some have unsurprisingly worked loose. Recommend replacement with larger screws with both metal and neoprene washers.

2.1 (1) Loose screws 2.1 (1) Loose screw

(2) Sealant has been applied over some screws and at joints between parapet cap sections. This sealant is now brittle.

Recommend new screws per previous comment, and removal and replacement of sealant between parapet cap sections.

.

(3) The deflectors for rooftop units are so low that they are unlikely to perform their function of directing water around the unit during intense rainfall. On a metal roof with a slight slope, water deepens when the volume of rain exceeds the speed at which it can flow off of the roof. Recommend 6 inch tall rain deflectors for the two units toward the east side.

2.1 (3) Curb deflector 2.1 (3) Curb deflector

.

2.3

(1) The gutter on the east side is mounted too high, which can be a major factor in ice damming, since it prevents ice from sliding off of the roof. I understand that the heat tape was installed in the gutter to help solve ice damming. Optionally, the gutter could be lowered with the use of different brackets, such that the outer top edge of the gutter is one inch below the top of the roof panel pans.

2.3 (1) Gutter too high

.

(2) Downspouts discharge close to building, not extending past the curb. Recommend replacing bottom elbows with a longer ones which extend to the middle of the curb, so that water reaches the paved area, and does not accumulate next to the building foundation.

2.5

(1) Masonry is not waterproof. Sealing it with a clear breathable water-repellent coating product can extend its service life, while also increasing protection from the effects of moisture migrating through the masonry. Note that coatings for sealing masonry typically slightly darken the color tone of the masonry. Recoating is typically required every 10 years.

.

(2) Crack observed at east end of south parapet. Recommend application of masonry sealant.

2.7

(1) Brick is not a robust choice for window sills. In addition, brick sills are not sloped to shed precipitation. Caulking between brick sills and aluminum window sill receptors blocks any weep holes or other weep configuration provided in sill receptors. As a result, condensation, which frequently occurs inside of aluminum frames, may find its way into the wall.

Recommend removal of brick and caulking; application of treated blocking and waterproof membrane as appropriate: addition of sill end dams as appropriate; and installation of aluminum or color-matched break metal sills. Additionally, if an inappropriate type of extrusion was used as a sill receptor, replace same.

(2) Discoloration is apparent on some of the anodized aluminum window frames of the building. This appears to be similar to when acid wash used on masonry gets on the frame. If so, it can not be fully removed, but a Scotch Brite pad with water may be able to remove some of the discoloration.

It was not possible to access the water heater from within the closet, as a recessed light fixture is located in the ceiling tile directly above the mop sink. Raising ceiling tiles in the adjacent men's room did not afford a view or access to the water heater. A PVC and copper line emerges from the wall over the mop sink, which may be the line from the drain pan and the T&P (Temperature and Pressure) relief valve of the water heater.

(1) I did not check the heating mode of the four rooftop units due to the very hot ambient temperatures on the roof (about

106 degrees F). However, the tubular heat exchangers were all checked and inspected for cracks and looked fine. I would recommend having a maintenance check by a licensed HVAC contractor on the units at the beginning of the heating season to check for proper operation of the burners and controls, clean the flame sensors, and to change the air filters.
