Findings:
5.2 [ ] Cracked / open tile present at the roof covering in limited areas. (Approximately 175 pieces)

[ ] Chipping, checking, spalling present at the exterior roof tile covering surface throughout all tile.
This inspector observed impurities in the roof tile that seem to cause checking and spalling in the surface of the tile. This impurity looks like a small white stone that appears to expand at a different rate than the host tile as the Florida sun heats it. This is causing the surface to "pop" or chip away. These "pops" or chips range in size from 1/4 inch to over 2 inches. Considering the young age of this roof (2003), there high concern as to when or if this will stop. Also this tile appears to be a unique tile to this area and repair or replacement may be difficult. USBI recommends evaluation by the manufacturers warrantee representative.

5.5 [ ] Cracking, spalling covering present at the main roof stucco fascia 2nd level northeast corner.

5.8 [ ] Debris present in the gutter in limited areas.

ROOF
5.2 ROOF COVERING
Fault Present
[ ] Cracked / open tile present at the roof covering in limited areas. (Approximately 175 pieces)

[ ] Chipping, checking, spalling present at the exterior roof tile covering surface throughout all tile.
This inspector observed impurities in the roof tile that seem to cause checking and spalling in the surface of the tile. This impurity looks like a small white stone that appears to expand at a different rate than the host tile as the Florida sun heats it. This is causing the surface to "pop" or chip away. These "pops" or chips range in size from 1/4 inch to over 2 inches. Considering the young age of this roof (2003), there high concern as to when or if this will stop. Also this tile appears to be a unique tile to this area and repair or replacement may be difficult. USBI recommends evaluation by the manufacturers warrantee representative.
