Solarium

Text in the illustration

pay particular attention to intersections of the solarium roof with the walls of the house
joints around the glass are a second area of vulnerability
check the condition of the sealant

Generated explanation

The illustration shows a glazed solarium attached at an inside corner of a house beneath the main roof. Sloped glass roof panels and vertical glass walls are supported by framing on a raised base. Arrows identify the intersections of the solarium roof with the house walls as areas requiring particular attention. Additional annotations identify joints around the glass as vulnerable areas and direct the inspector to check the sealant condition. No specific damage or failed joint is depicted.
