The appropriate expert will provide a scope of work to eliminate the moisture damage issues. The Rater will include recommendations wherever possible. Some simple corrective actions that may be required to meet this measure include the following: ? ? ? ? ? ? Pruning of plants and trees that are touching the home or are posing potential danger to the home due to excessive root intrusion or proximity of structurally sound or unsound limbs Simple flashing repairs or refinishing materials that are slightly degraded Replacement, repair, or refinishing of materials that are significantly degraded Sealing penetrations Installation of weatherstripping, thresholds, and sweeps for doors and windows Capping and flashing of chimney, water heater, ventilation fans, or furnace flues

VERIFICATION Field Verification: The Rater will conduct field compliance verification for visible moisture damage to the exterior assemblies and will refer to other experts as needed. This measure requires a judgment call on the part of the Rater. If corrections are needed, the Rater will complete an additional field compliance verification or have documentation of corrections. The Rater is not expected to go onto the roof for verification. GreenPoint Rated Existing Home Rating Manual Version 6.0, September 2013 © Build It Green
