Dear Sir:
Res Court House Roof
Vero Beach, Fla.
This letter will refer to your complaint placed with our. New York Office under date
of November 17:•
Our representative, qtr. H. 0. Bishop, made a thorough examination on December 4, with
the following gentlemen presents
S. E. Glover, County Commissioner
Edward A. Helseth, County Commissioner
E. P. Poole, County Commissioner
Douglas Baker, Clerk of Circuit Court
W. H. Garnes, Architect
E. H. Hale, Roofer
The information which has been conveyed to us.is.that the roof proper, for which
we are responsible under the bond issued, is in perfect condition and no leaks have occurred
from same.
The flashing is : also in good condition..
Leaks complained of, from all indications, are traceable to water absorption by
parapet walls, ornamental cornice, etc,
We are informed that a water test was made on the roof by flooding water over same
a period of time and no-leaks.occurred but when the water was placed on the outside walls great
quantities entered the building.
It appears that we have no responsibility here and the owner*s problem is one of a
waterproofing nature of the parapet walls.
We are pleased to have been of service in this connection.and
Very truly yours
THE BARRETT COMPANY
