Performance Standard: When a gutter is unobstructed by debris, the water level shall not exceed 1 inch in depth. Installing gutters with a 1/8-inch drop in one foot will generally prevent water from standing in the gutters. Even so, small amounts of water may remain in some sections of gutter for a short time after a rain.
Corrective Measure: The remodeler will repair the gutter to meet the performance standard.
Performance Standard: Water shall drain from a flat roof except for minor ponding within 24 hours of a rainfall.

Corrective Measure: The remodeler will reinstall any improperly installed skylight and replace any defective skylight.
Performance Standard: Roofs and flashing shall not leak under normal conditions, except where the cause is determined to result from ice build-up or the owner’s actions or negligence.
Corrective Measure: The remodeler will repair any verified roof or flashing leaks not caused by ice build-up or the owner’s actions or negligence.
Performance Standard: Attic vents and louvers shall not leak. However, infiltration of wind-driven rain and snow are not considered leaks and are beyond the control of the remodeler.
Corrective Measure: The remodeler will caulk and flash attic vents or louvers to eliminate leaks.
Discussion: Inlet and outlet vents should be provided for proper ventilation of the attic area. Inlet vents should be provided in the soffit area and outlet vents near the ridges. These vents will produce natural circulation regardless of wind direction.
