Notes & Referral Recommendations

1

Chimney Flashing: Referral to Roofing Contractor Recommended

Visible lifting on the south-facing chimney counter flashing was documented during the aerial flight. A licensed roofing contractor should be contacted to physically assess and reseal this area prior to monsoon season.

2

South Slope Tile Lifting: Monitor

Two to three tiles showing minor visible lifting on the south slope were documented. No immediate action required based on aerial observation, but continued monitoring is recommended. A roofing contractor can physically assess mortar integrity if desired.

3

NE Gutter Inlet: Clear Before Monsoon Season

Debris accumulation visible at the northeast downspout inlet. Clearing recommended to maintain drainage capacity prior to the summer storm season.
