Building

Roof

Are there visible signs of damage to roof?
Is the roof structure weak at any areas?
Is the flashing failing? Flashing should be installed where any horizontal surface meets a vertical surface ( the roof and parapet walls, as well as punctures like the chimney)
Is the parapet cap or coping tiles damaged or missing?
Is water pooling on the roof?

The roof should have a generous slope to allow drainage to gutters.

Gutters and Downspouts

Are the gutters and downspouts clear of debris, can water flow easily?

Are they the proper size to provide drainage?
Are the gutters and downpouts securely attached to the buildings?
Are there a sufficient number of downpouts to drain water from gutter?

Generally, one 6" diameter downspout is needed to provide drainage to a 2,200 sq ft roof. If your roof area is larger consider installing a second downspout.

Is there an interior lining (in a cornice or box gutter system), condition of?
Are the gutter and downpouts straight? Sagging can cause improper drainage and overfolow; run-off should not drip down walls.
Is the downspout connected to storm drain or a downspout extension to drain water away from the building?

Site

Is the ground surrounding the building sloped towards the building?
Is water pooling around the base of the building?
Can a trench be dug to provide additional underground drainage away from building, usually 4-10 feet from building?

Foundation

Are there visible cracks or signs of settling?
What is the material and its condition?

Walls

Are there visible cracks?
Are the walls leaning or bulging out of plane?
Are there any areas where the structural integrity of the wall has been compromised, such as large amounts of brick missing from a brick wall?
What is the wall construction material?

Sign

Is the sign legible from a distance?
Is the sign externally or internally lit?
Is the sign securely attached to the building?
