PUSLIC WORKS <br /> March 31, 2016 <br /> Steven Gustafson <br /> Affordable Restoration <br /> 6416 38" PL NE <br /> Marysville, WA 98270 <br /> Subject:Inspection,7603 Lower Ridge Road <br /> Report of Damage <br /> A tree fell onto the roof of the two-story structure at 7603 Lower Ridge Road in 2015 damaging(at least)the <br /> roof and portions of the exterior wall. The tree has since been removed; however the damage to the structure <br /> remains and worsens. There is a substantial amount of secondary damage to the interior of the structure due to <br /> the rain water that has infiltrated the structure as a result of the roof damage and lack of a sufficient temporary <br /> weather barrier. Water has traveled throughout much of the upper floor and most of the lower floor. Standing <br /> water exists within the structure and most of the finishes are saturated with water or have been continuously <br /> subjected to high levels of moisture and water vapor. Mold is pervasive throughout the structure. Many of the <br /> building systems have been compromised as a result of the roof damage and water intrusion. <br /> The following items have been noted as damaged within the structure however do not comprise a total list of all <br /> damage present: it is the responsibility of the permit applicant/owner to assess the total damage. <br /> Building Construction <br /> Many or most of the roof trusses have been damaged. All damaged roof trusses will be required to be replaced. <br /> Any roof trusses that show damage but remain will be required to be approved for service by an engineer <br /> licensed by the State of Washington. <br /> All damaged roof sheathing will be required to be replaced. <br /> Floor sheathing (structural sub-floor) is most likely water-damaged, including within the interior and exterior <br /> walls (under the wall plates). All floor sheathing will be required to be made available for inspection. All <br /> damaged floor sheathing will be required to be replaced. <br /> The ground floor of the structure is slab-on-grade. The ground floor has standing water in it. The wall plates are <br /> most likely pressure treated, however exterior wall sheathing(if present)would not be pressure treated. Any <br /> exterior wall sheathing will be required to be made available for inspection. All damaged wall sheathing will be <br /> required to be replaced. <br /> Electrical and Electrical Appliances <br /> CITY OF EVERETT • 3200 Cedar Street • Everett, WA 98201 • (425) 257-8800 • Fax (425) 257-8882 // <br />
