Immediate Action Report

This analysis criteria is based on the current habitable condition of the structure. The items addressed either require repair or replacement in order to provide integrity to the dwelling, or represent a condition that if neglected could result in severe additional costs or present a hazardous condition to occupancy.

FOUNDATION

4.2.0 RAISED FOUNDATION

4.2.6 MOISTURE & DAMPNESS

WATER IS POOLING IN THE CRAWL SPACE NEAR THE LIVING ROOM NORTH WALL. IT APPEARS THAT WATER HAS PENETRATED THE FOUNDATION AND HAS ENTERED THROUGH THE NORTH SIDE CRAWL SPACE VENT. THIS HAS CAUSED SOME WOOD BRACES SET ON GRADE TO ROT. THERE ARE ALSO SIGNS OF MOLD ON THESE MEMBERS. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT MOLD TESTING AND REMEDIATION BE PERFORMED. THE CRAWL SPACE WILL NEED TO BE DRIED, THE FOUNDATION SHOULD BE WATER PROOFED AND DRAINAGE MODIFICATION SHOULD BE MADE SO THAT WATER FLOWS AWAY FROM THE STRUCTURE. ESTIMATES FOR THIS WORK SHOULD BE OBTAINED SO THE COST CAN BE ANTICIPATED. THE PRESENT CONDITIONS POSE A SERIOUS HEALTH HAZARD AND MUST BE CORRECTED BEFORE OCCUPANCY.

HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING

8.3.0 HOT WATER

8.3.14 CHECK ENTRAN II RADIANT HEAT TUBING

THE RADIANT HEAT TUBING IN THIS STRUCTURE IS ENTRAN II. THERE ARE CURRENT LEAKS AT THE MANIFOLD CONNECTIONS IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS. THERE HAVE BEEN SIGNIFICANT FAILURES IN HEATING SYSTEMS WITH THIS TYPE TUBING. AS A RESULT OF THESE FAILURES, A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT WAS FILED AGAINST THE MANUFACTURER, GOODYEAR, AND A JUDGEMENT MADE AGAINST THEM.
