CITY OF SPRINGFIELD SPRINGFIELD, OREGON 97477 " DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS September 29, 1981 225 N. 5th St. lliflllOO4MlOOflOO(r 726,3753 Mr. Stan Thompson Marshall's Insulation 4131 "E" Street Springfield, OR 97477 SUBJECT: Underfloor Insulation Dear Mr. Thompson: Your note regarding Inspector Puent's inspection of the underfloor 597 South 67th Street has been referred to me for response. - *1'...' lnsu atlon at ,The situation you describe does not represent any inconsistency in inspection pro- cedures. After having shown your people how to properly install underfloor insu- lation, Inspector Puent found an example that did not match the illustration., He therefore asked that corrections be made. Since the corrections were Telatively simple to accomplish, there was no need, in his judgement, to make a special trip back to the jOb site. The work could be reinspected during a later regularly called inspection. With regard to your question - "Where do we go from here?" - the answer is simple. Underfloor insulation must be installed so that it fits tightly against the floor system and yet is not substantially compressed. Even though Inspector Puent took the time to demonstrate one way in which this might be accomplished, some of your people had apparently not yet mastered the techniques involved at the time of the above described inspection. As these techniques are mastered, we will both have arrived at our destination. Si ncere ly, ~~ Ronald B. Clark Superintendent of Building 1 Attchment RBC/sh Fil e 1001. 4
