Photograph 2 Failed site / retaining wall

Damaged roof tile

Photograph 3 Damaged roof tile

Cracking of stucco finish.

Photograph 4
Cracking of stucco finish on wood framed wall. Finish had been “repaired” in past but has re-opened.
Cracks are allowing water intrusion into the interior of building.

Cracks in stucco

Rusting of stucco corner bead.

Photograph 5

Separation of stucco from corner bead due to rusting of corner bead. Separation is allowing water intrusion behind the stucco finish.

Photograph 6
Mechanical unit support is undermined and unstable. Mechanical units are not tied down to support base.

Stair step cracking in cmu construction.

Photograph 7
Stair step cracking of cmu wall construction is indication of settlement. Photograph also shows failure of paint finish as evidenced by peeling, fading paint.

Water damage to wood sheathing.

Rusted corner bead.

Photograph 8
Rusted stucco corner bead leading to water intrusion behind finish and has caused water damage to underlying plywood.

Photograph 9
Rusted epicore metal deck and supporting steel angle at exterior floor framing near handicap ramp.

Bearing failure of wood at connector. Arrows indicate amount of movement That has occurred.

Photograph 10
Failure of connection of interior floor joist. Water damage and fastener bearing failure has occurred to joist.

Exposed interior floor framing Components.

Photograph 11

Separation of exterior floor framing from interior floor framing. Separation allows water direct access to exposed interior floor framing. This photograph is directly under window at front entry.

Photograph 12

Photograph displays negative slope of front entry exterior floor. Floor slopes toward window and doors. All rain water fill drain toward large separation of floor construction. It is thought that either the metal epicore deck or deck supporting steel angle has failed.

Water damaged interior floor sheathing

Photograph 13

Encountered interior floor framing sheathing water damage at front entry construction separation.

Locations of water damage.

Photograph 14
Encountered water damage to wood truss tail, wood fascia framing and roof sheathing.

Tie-down.

Girder truss.

Photograph 15

Representation of lack and or inadequate roof truss tie down. The photograph displays the only tie down connector provided for a triple-ply girder truss. The tie-down has a capacity to resist approximately 500 pounds of uplift and it is anticipated that the girder truss, which support approximately 30% of the entire roof, would have an uplift reaction in the order of several thousand pounds.

Wood blocking water damage.

Wood floor joist water damage.

Wood floor sheathing damage.

Photograph 16

Interior floor framing directly under front entry. Photograph provides evidence of wood floor joist water damage from water intrusion caused by negatively pitched exterior floor and floor to wall separation.

Wood joist water damage caused joist end to crush at it bearing location.

Photograph17

Bearing failure of interior wood floor joist under front entry area. Wood joist has crushed at bearing due to water damage.

Wood beam.

Connector.

Floor joist.

Photograph 18

Interior wood floor joist to wood beam tie-down connector in severely corroded condition. Corrosion at this location has separated the upper portion of the connector from the lower portion rendering the connector useless.

Fasteners from wood wall bottom plate into floor sheathing.

Photograph 19

Representative of lack of blocking under bearing walls above. This location is approximately under the three ply girder truss. The photograph also depicts the lack of tie-down continuity from wood wall framing above to cmu wall construction below.

Photograph 20 Gate House Building.

Photograph 21

Water damage to interior ceiling finish. Evidence of roof leak.

Painted soffit roof vents.

Photograph 22

Painted soffit roof vents. Partially closed vents will limit air flow through attic area producing environment for wood damage.

Cracks in stucco wall finish.

Photograph 23

Cracking of stucco wall finish. Cracks could be caused by absorption of ground moisture. Requires additional review.

Photograph 24 Lennox Pool House Building

Existing concrete control joint.

Cracks in pool deck concrete slab and pool deck finish.

Photograph 25

Cracking of pool deck concrete slab and pool deck finish. Cracks are assumed to have been caused by insufficient quantity or located slab control joints. The cracks in the concrete slab below mirrored through pool deck finish.

Photograph 26

Cracking and delamination of pool deck finish.

Photograph 27

Cracking of stucco finish of wood beam. Cracking of the wood framing finish was evident throughout property. Beyond the aesthetic issues, water is allowed to penetrate through the cracks behind the finish exposing the wood elements to moisture for longer periods of time. It is thought that the wood is not pressure treated and is experiencing water damage.

Photograph 28

Inadequate drainage at the pool pump room. Water from adjacent grade is higher than interior of pool pump room. The wood frame walls are constantly wet and damaging the wall framing and door.

Photograph 29

Inside pool pump room. Interior drywall and wall framing super saturated. Wood has completely rotted away at base.

Spalling cracks in precast concrete column wrap.

Photograph 30

Concrete spalling in precast concrete column wrap. Spalling is an industry term used to describe the tensile failure of concrete due to the expansive forces of rusting reinforcement inside the concrete.
