1.1 ROOF COVERING 2 Picture 1

NOTE: All roofs have a finite life and will require replacement at some point. In the interim, the seals at all roof penetrations and flashings, and the watertightness of rooftop elements, should be checked periodically and repaired or maintained as required. Any roof defect can result in leakage, mold, and subsequent damage. Conditions such as hail damage or manufacturing defects or whether the proper nailing methods or underlayment were used are not readily detectible during a home inspection. Gutters (eavestroughs) and downspouts (leaders) will require regular cleaning and maintenance. All chimneys and vents should be checked periodically. In general, fascia and soffit areas are not readily accessible for inspection; these components are prone to decay, insect, and pest damage, particularly with roof or gutter leakage. If any roof deficiencies are reported, a qualified roofer or the appropriate specialist should be contacted to determine what remedial action is required. If the roof inspection was restricted or limited due to roof height, weather conditions, or other factors, arrangements should be made to have the roof inspected by a qualified roofer, particularly if the roofing is older or its age is unknown.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION - Review the additional details below.

Roof Systems - The watertightness of a roofing system is dependent on the proper installation of the roofing material and underlayment, its physical condition, and the proper function of all flashings (metal or other membrane installed at protrusions through the roof, such as vent pipes, skylights and valleys). While general roofing conditions were reported, this report is not a guarantee the roof is or will be watertight or leak free.

Inspection Limitations - The evaluation of a roof is primarily a visual assessment based on general roofing appearances. The verification of actual roofing materials, installation methods or roof age is generally not possible. Conditions such as hail damage or the lack of underlayment may not be readily detectible and may result in latent concerns. If the inspection was restricted to viewing from the ground and/or was affected by weather conditions or other limitations, a roofer's assessment would be advisable, particularly if the roofing is old or age is unknown.

Slate/Tile/Cement Roofs - The key to the watertightness and longevity for these types of roofs is annual inspection and repair of any loose, missing or damaged shingles. In many cases, repairs will provide reasonable serviceability; however, replacement may be needed based on cost factors. Some of the cementitious roofs are asbestos-containing. If left intact, there is usual minimal concern; if damaged or removed, fibers may be released; proper precautions must be followed and additional costs should be anticipated to address this concern.

Flat Roofs/Membranes - Due to the low or minimal slope of flat roofs, they are particularly prone to leakage due to improper installation, ponding or poor maintenance. They generally require more maintenance than sloped roofing and any deficiencies, even minor ones, should be attended to promptly. The membranes of certain type roofs, particularly built-up roofs with gravel cover, are not readily visible for inspection.

Roof Flashings/Seal - Initial or recurring roof leakage is often due to inadequate or damaged flashing. All flashings should be checked periodically or if leakage occurs. Repair or seal as needed.

Plumbing Vents/Stacks - The flashing/boot seal at plumbing vents are prone to leakage. All vent pipe flashings should be checked periodically and should be repaired and/or sealed as needed. Vent stacks must have adequate clearance from windows and other roof or wall openings or vents. Extending the vent may prevent detrimental conditions.

2. EXTERIOR ELEMENTS

Inspection of exterior elements is limited to readily visible and accessible surfaces of the house envelope and connected appurtenances as listed herein; elements concealed from view by any means cannot be inspected. All exterior elements are subject to the effects of long-term exposure and sudden damage from ongoing and ever-changing weather conditions. Style and material descriptions are based on predominant/representative components and are provided for general information purposes only; specific types and/or material make-up material is not verified. Neither the efficiency nor integrity of insulated window units can be determined. Furthermore, the presence/condition of accessories such as storms, screens, shutters, locks and other attachments or decorative items is not included, unless specifically noted. Additional information on exterior elements, particularly windows/doors and the foundation may be provided under other headings in this report, including the INTERIOR and FOUNDATION/SUBSTRUCTURE sections.

NOTE: All surfaces of the envelope of the house should be inspected at least semi-annually, and maintained as needed. Any exterior element defect can result in leakage and/or subsequent damage. Exterior wood elements and wood composites are particularly susceptible to water-related damage, including decay, insect infestation, and mold. The use of proper treated lumber or alternative products may help minimize these concerns, but will not eliminate them altogether. While some areas of decay or damage may be reported, additional areas of concern may exist, subsequently develop, or be discovered during repair or maintenance work. Should you wish advice on any new or uncovered area of deterioration, please contact the Inspection Company. Periodic caulking/resealing of all gaps and joints will be required. Insulated window/door units are subject to seal failure, which could ultimately affect the transparency and/or function of the window. Lead-based paints were commonly used on older homes; independent inspection is required if confirmation or a risk assessment is desired.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION - Review the additional details below.

Wood Deterioration - Exterior wood elements are particularly susceptible to decay and insect damage. The use of treated lumber may help to minimize these concerns but will not eliminate them altogether. While we have attempted to identify readily apparent areas of decay, additional areas of concern may be identified as they occur, spread, or are discovered during repair or maintenance work. Should you wish advice on any new or uncovered area of deterioration, please contact our office. All exterior wood elements should be inspected at least annually; repair and/or refinish as needed.

Synthetic Stucco/EIFS - Some synthetic stucco includes products such as Exterior Insulation Finish Systems (EIFS). EIFS incorporates foam insulation panels, reinforcement mesh and a textured finish coating. Certain EIFS products and/or installation methods create conditions that are highly susceptible to moisture infiltration and subsequent mold growth and/or structural damage due to water infiltration at penetrations, joints, and roof terminations. A moisture intrusion evaluation by a specialist is recommended, as a precaution.

Siding/Wood Soil Clearance - Siding materials and wood components close to or in direct contact with soil or mulch are conducive to decay and/or wood destroying insect infestation. Whenever possible, at least six (6) inches of clearance should be provided above the soil. All areas in contact or close to the ground should be checked. Foam insulations or other foundation cover increase the potential for hidden damage due to moisture or insect concerns. All areas in contact or close to the ground should be checked. Where possible, contact with the ground should be corrected. Wood-soil contact, unprotected wood, and high moisture conditions promote decay and insect activity. Any conducive conditions should be eliminated, if possible, to minimize consequential damage or further infestation. Damaged components should be corrected/addressed properly.

Window/Door Seals - Replacement of insulated glass windows or doors is usually required to correct failed or defective vacuum seals. Fortunately, the insulation value is usually not significantly reduced. Replacement time frame may be discretionary; however, conditions will gradually worsen with time.

Windows and Doors - Storms, screens, safety glazing, locks and other attachments are generally not inspected unless otherwise noted. Comments on storms generally are limited to surface conditions; function and operation are not evaluated. An inventory of storms/screens should be taken to confirm desired coverage exists and/or storage locations.

Exterior Faucets - Exterior faucets that do not operate may be turned off, not connected, or, in cold weather, may be frozen. Consider all factors when concerns are indicated. The use of backflow preventers is advised, and in many areas now required, to prevent possible contamination of the water supply condition.

Exterior Electric - Due to weathering factors and the potential hazards of exterior wiring, precaution must be used for the installation and maintenance of electrical components. Any damaged components should be corrected immediately. Recommend adding Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) protection if not present. GFCI noted, however, test operation indicated unit malfunctioned or did not work properly. All exterior circuitry should be inspected by a qualified electrician.

3. SITE ELEMENTS

Inspection of site elements is primarily intended to address the condition of listed, readily visible and accessible elements immediately adjacent to or surrounding the house for conditions and issues that may have an impact on the house. Elements and areas concealed from view for any reason cannot be inspected. Neither the inspection nor report includes any geological surveys, soil compaction surveys, ground testing, or evaluation of the effects of, or potential for, earth movement such as earthquakes, landslides, or sinking, rising or shifting for any reason. Information on local soil conditions and issues should be obtained from local officials and/or a qualified specialist prior to closing. In addition to the stated limitations on the inspection of site elements, a standard home inspection does not include evaluation of elements such as underground drainage systems, site lighting, irrigation systems, barbecues, sheds, detached structures, fencing, privacy walls, docks, seawalls, pools, spas and other recreational items. Additional information related to site element conditions may be found under other headings in this report, including the FOUNDATION/SUBSTRUCTURE and WATER PENETRATION sections.

NOTE: Site conditions are subject to sudden change with exposure to rain, wind, temperature changes, and other climatic factors. Roof drainage systems and site/foundation grading and drainage must be maintained to provide adequate water control. Improper/inadequate grading or drainage and other sil/site factors can cause or contribute to foundation movement or failure, water infiltration into the house interior, and/or mold concerns. Independent evaluation by an engineer or soils specialist is required to evaluate geological or soil-related concerns. Houses built on expansive clays or uncompacted fill, on hillsides, along bodies of water, or in low-lying areas are especially prone to structural concerns. All improved surfaces such as patios, walks, and driveways must also be maintained to drain water away from the foundation. Any reported or subsequently occurring deficiencies must be investigated and corrected to prevent recurring or escalating problems. Independent evaluation of ancillary and site elements by qualified servicepersons is recommended prior to closing.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION - Review the additional details below.

Site Elements - While informational comments may be made related to the condition of certain site elements, the primary intent of inspection of any site element is limited to evaluation relative to its effect on the building.

Geological Factors - This report does not include evaluation of any soils or geological conditions/concerns. Construction on certain soils, particularly expansive clays, fill soils, hillside and waterfront areas, necessitate special design consideration. Evaluation of these factors, or the need for them, is beyond the scope of this inspection. Pertinent information should be obtained from local officials and/or a qualified specialist prior to closing, particularly if any concerns are detected or if home is in a detrimental soils area.

Grading and Drainage - To reduce the amount of water run-off or possibility of water penetration and/or structural concerns, provide proper contouring (grading) along the foundation and where needed on the site. Houses on hills or in low-lying areas will be prone to drainage concerns. Improper/inadequate grading and/or drainage can cause/contribute to foundation movement and/or failure. Deficiencies must be corrected to prevent problems.

Site/Underground Drains - Site drains, including any underground piping and downspout drains, often must be regularly maintained/cleared in order to provide adequate water run-off and discharge. Adequacy of any such system cannot be readily determined.

Finished Surfaces - Spalling or cracking of concrete surfaces may not affect function provided no lateral displacement has occurred. Maintain as required or correct to eliminate any trip hazard that may exist or develop.

Grading Provisions - To reduce the amount of water run-off or ponding and potential for water penetration and/or structural concerns, a positive slope away from the foundation should be provided around the perimeter of the house. Maintenance of a suitable ground cover is also advised. Depressions or negatively graded areas should be corrected/improved to help direct any roof or surface run-off away from the foundation. The periodic addition of new fill soil and regarding may be required, especially with new homes. A negative grade slope can cause structural and/or water infiltration problems. Excessive soil/water pressures can actually cause lateral movement of the foundation, a potentially serious concern. Deficiencies must be corrected and suitable drainage conditions must be maintained in order to prevent problems.

Vegetation/Landscaping - The site vegetation and landscaping should be maintained to prevent damage to the structure. Carefully remove any overgrowth to check for damage.

Lawn Irrigation - Lawn Irrigation systems are not inspected within the scope of a standard home inspection. Advise evaluation prior to closing by a qualified contractor. Buried lines are subject to hidden damage or leakage. Seasonal maintenance will be required. Chronic spray from lawn sprinklers onto the house may cause structural damage, insect infestation or other problems. Entire system should be checked and corrected for orientation and spray pattern.

Pool/Spa - The inspection of pools/spas, including the integrity and watertightness of the shell/structure, is not part of a standard home inspection. Advise independent evaluation by a pool/spa specialist prior to closing.

Fencing/Sheds - The inspection of fencing, site walls, and sheds is not included in the scope of a standard home inspection. Wood components are prone to decay and insect damage. Advise a check of these elements for current conditions and assurance of personal acceptability.

4. GARAGE/CARPORT

Inspection of the garage is limited to readily visible and accessible elements as listed herein. Elements and areas concealed from view cannot be inspected. More so than most other areas of a house, garages tend to be filled with storage and other items that restrict visibility and hide potential concerns, such as water damage or insect infestation. A standard home inspection does not include an evaluation of the adequacy of the fire separation assemblies between the house and garage, or whether such assemblies comply with any specific requirements. Inspection of garage doors with connected automatic door operator is limited to a check of operation utilizing hard-wired controls only. Additional information related to garage elements and conditions may be found under other headings in this report, including ROOFS and EXTERIOR ELEMENTS.

NOTE: Any areas obstructed at the time of inspection should be cleared and checked prior to closing. The integrity of the fire-separation wall/ceiling assemblies generally required between the house and garage, including any house-to-garage doors and attic hatches, must be maintained for proper protection. Review manufacturer use and safety instructions for garage doors and automatic door operators. All doors and door operators should be tested and serviced on a regular basis to prevent personal injury or equipment damage. Any malfunctioning doors or door operators should be repaired prior to using. Door operators without auto-reverse capabilities should be repaired or upgraded for safety. The storage of combustibles in a garage creates a potential hazard, including the possible ignition of vapors, and should be restricted.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION - Review the additional details below.

Limitations/Obstructions - More than many other areas of a house, garages tend to contain storage and other items that restrict the ability to observe the structure and other components. Any noted limitation may be in addition to normal restrictions. Recommend all obstructed areas be inspected when clear.

Garage/House Separation - Fire-rated wall/ceiling assemblies are generally required between the house and garage. A home inspection generally does not address any specific requirement; rather fire-separation considerations are limited to a determination as to whether the frame walls are covered. Wall insulations and vapor retarders are generally not observable and may only be commented on if an observed defect exists. The integrity of any fire-separation assembly must be maintained for proper protection. Any gaps or openings should be covered/sealed with suitable materials. All joints must be taped.

Door Operator Function - In order to prevent personal injury or equipment damage, automatic door operators should stop and retract the door upon meeting reasonable resistance. This function should be checked on a regular basis and adjusted/corrected as needed. If the automatic door operator unit does not have retraction capabilities or doors not retract the door properly, it should be inspected by a qualified door specialist and repaired or upgraded as needed prior to future use.

Door Hardware/Mechanism - Damaged tracks, springs and cables may cause door operation malfunction but also represent potential safety hazards. A qualified specialist should inspect and repair any defective or missing components.

5. ATTIC

The inspection of attic areas and the roof structure is limited to readily visible and accessible elements as listed herein. Due to typical design and accessibility constraints such as insulation, storage, finished attic surfaces, roofing products, etc., many elements and areas, including major structural components, are often at least partially concealed from view and cannot be inspected. A standard home inspection does not include an evaluation of the adequacy of the roof structure to support any load, the thermal value or energy efficiency of insulation, the integrity of vapor retarders, or the operation of thermostatically controlled fans. Older homes generally do not meet insulation and energy conservation standards required for new homes. Additional information related to attic elements and conditions may be found under other headings in this report, including ROOFS and INTERIOR ELEMENTS.

Review REPORT TERMINOLOGY on Introduction Page. Consult with your Inspector for clarification on ratings or findings if there are any questions.

NOTE: Attic heat, moisture levels, and ventilation conditions are subject to change. All attics should be monitored for any leakage, moisture buildup or other concerns. Detrimental conditions should be corrected and ventilation provisions should be improved where needed. Any comments on insulation levels and/or materials are for general information purposes only and were not verified. Some insulation products may contain or release potentially hazardous or irritating materials--avoid disturbing. A complete check of the attic should be made prior to closing after non-permanent limitations/obstructions are removed. Any stains/leaks may be due to numerous factors; verification of the cause or status of all condition is not possible. Leakage can lead to mold concerns and structural damage. If concerns exist, recommend evaluation by a qualified roofer or the appropriate specialist.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION - Review the additional details below.

Limitations/Obstructions - Due to typical design/accessibility constraints (insulation, storage, etc.,) evaluation of attic areas, including structural components, is generally limited. Any specifically noted limitations/obstructions are intended to highlight limitations beyond the norm. A complete check of the attic should be made when non-permanent limitations are removed.

Insulation - An energy assessment or audit is outside the scope of the standard home inspection. Any comments on amounts and/or materials are for general informational purposes only and were not verified. Some insulations may contain or release potentially hazardous materials; avoid disturbing. Wall insulation is not readily visible. Pre-1970s homes are more likely to have been constructed with insulation levels significantly below present day standards.

Ventilation/Vapor Retarders - Attic heat and moisture levels and ventilation adequacies are subject to change. Monitor for any significant buildup or changes and correct cause and/or improve ventilation as warranted. The presence and coverage adequacy of vapor retarders (barriers) cannot be confirmed in many cases.

Cathedral/Vaulted Ceiling - Cathedral/vaulted ceiling design restrictions generally prevent assessment of structural components, insulation or ventilation (moisture) provisions with this type construction. Ventilation inadequacies are common; assessment will be required when re-roofing or if any concerns are reported or develop.

6. BATHROOMS

The inspection of bathrooms is limited to readily accessible and visible elements as listed herein. Bathrooms are high-use areas containing many elements subject to ongoing wear and periodic malfunction, particularly fixtures and other components associated with the plumbing system. Normal usage cannot be simulated during a standard home inspection. Water flow and drainage evaluations are limited to a visual assessment of functional flow. The function and watertightness of fixture overflows or other internal fixture components generally cannot be inspected. A standard home inspection does not include evaluation of ancillary items such as saunas or steam baths. Additional issues related to bathroom components may be found under other headings, including the PLUMBING SYSTEM.

Review REPORT TERMINOLOGY on Introduction Page. Consult with your Inspector for clarification on ratings or findings if there are any questions.

NOTE: Anticipate the possibility of leakage or other concerns developing with normal usage/aging or as concealed conditions are discovered with maintenance work or upon removal of carpeting, tile, shower enclosures, etc. The watertightness of all surfaces exposed to water must be maintained on a regular basis by caulking, grouting, or other means. Hot water represents a potential scalding hazard; hot water supply temperatures should be maintained at a suitable level. The water temperature at fixtures, especially for showerings or bathing, generally will require additional tempering for personal comfort and safety. Due to the potential hazards associated with electric components located in bathroom areas, any identified concern should be addressed immediately. Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupters (GFCIs) are recommended for all bathroom receptacle outlets.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION - Review the additional details below.

General Conditions - Bathrooms are high use areas with many components subject to periodic malfunction, particularly those related to the plumbing system. Normal usage could not be simulated during the inspection; therefore, anticipate the possibility of leakage or other concerns developing with normal usage/aging or as latent conditions are discovered with removal of carpeting, tile, shower pans, etc. The function and watertightness of fixture overflows or other internal fixture components generally cannot be assessed. The watertightness of all tile, enclosures, and other surfaces must be maintained on a regular basis.

Water Temperatures - The hot-water supply to all fixtures should be maintained at a safe temperature at all times. Water temperatures in excess of 120° F (49° C) generally represent a scalding hazard for most peoples; however, children and some adults are at risk of injury at even lower temperatures.

Drain Mechanisms - Minor repairs, adjustments or cleaning may correct many drain defects; however, tub drain mechanism repair may be problematic if there are access difficulties.

Caulking/Grouting - Caulking/grouting work is required to maintain watertightness of tilework and tub/shower enclosures. Check for substrate damage when surface damage or leakage is present.

GFCI Test - While a defective GFCI receptacle may still allow electricity to flow to the receptacle (and appliance), if the field test indicated any actual or suspected malfunction of a GFCI it should be corrected.

NOTE: Many appliances typically have a high maintenance requirement and limited service life (5-12 years). Operation of all appliances should be confirmed during a pre-closing inspection. Obtain all operating instructions from the owner or manufacturer; have the homeowner demonstrate operation, if possible. Follow manufacturers' use and maintenance guidelines; periodically check all units for leakage or other malfunctions. All cabinetry/countertops should also be checked prior to closing when clear of obstructions. Utility provisions and connections, including water, waste, gas, and/or electric may require upgrading with new appliances, especially when a larger or upper-end appliance is installed. Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupters (GFCIs) are recommended safety devices for all homes. Any water leakage or operational defects should be addressed promptly; water leakage can lead to mold and hidden/structural damage.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION - Review the additional details below.

Appliances - Appliance evaluations are outside the scope of a standard home inspection in many areas and are only inspected if so indicated. When performed, evaluations are limited to a basic operations check of only listed units and generally exclude thermostatic or timer controls, energy efficiency considerations, cooking or cleaning adequacies, appliance accessories, washer/dryers, refrigerators, ice makers and any portable appliances. Appliances typically have a 5-10 year service life. Operation of all appliances should be confirmed during a pre-closing inspection; have owner demonstrate operation if possible. Obtain all operating instructions from the owner or manufacturer.

Appliance Utilities - Appliance inspections do not include evaluation of the adequacy or capacity of any utility or utility connections or compliance with code or manufacturer requirements. Upgrades to water, waste, gas or electric lines may be required to meet specifications of any particular appliance; especially when a new or larger capacity appliance is added.

Microwaves - The evaluation of microwave units is not included in a standard inspection. The cooking adequacy of these units can vary. Follow manufacturer's guidelines; check periodically for leakage or other malfunctions.

Disposals - Any assessment of a garbage disposal is limited to a visual check of motor operation. No assessment of the unit's ability to grind/dispose of waste was made. This is a high maintenance item.

Compactors - Due to keyed controls and potential damage concerns, compactors often cannot be operated at the time of inspection. Recommend having owner demonstrate unit operation to confirm function.

Electric/GFCI - GFCIs are required in the kitchen and bathrooms of most newer houses; they are a recommended safety improvement for older houses.

GFCI Test - Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupters (GFCIs) are required in the kitchens of most newer houses; they are a recommended safety improvement for older houses. Due to the high hazard potential of electric components in the kitchen area, any identified concern should be addressed immediately. While a defective GFCI receptacle may still allow electricity to flow to the receptacle (and appliance), if the field test indicated any actual or suspected malfunction of a GFCI it should be corrected.

8.7 SLIDER/PATIO DOORS Picture 1

NOTE: All homes are subject to indoor air quality concerns due to factors such as venting system defects, outgassing from construction materials, smoking, and the use of house and personal care products. Air quality can also be adversely affected by the growth of molds, fungi and other micro-organisms as a result of leakage or high humidity conditions. If water leakage or moisture-related problems exist, potentially harmful contaminants may be present. A home inspection does not include assessment of potential health or environmental contaminants or allergens. For air quality evaluations, a qualified testing firm should be contacted. All homes experience some form of settlement due to construction practices, materials used, and other factors. A pre-closing check of all windows, doors, and rooms when house is clear of furnishings, drapes, etc. is recommended. If the type of flooring or other finish materials that may be covered by finished surfaces or other items is a concern, conditions should be confirmed before closing. Lead-based paint may have been used in the painting of older homes. Chimney and fireplace flue inspections should be performed by a qualified specialist. Regular cleaning is recommended. An assessment should be made of the need for and placement of detectors. All smoke and carbon monoxide detectors should be tested on a regular basis.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION - Review the additional details below.

Structural Components - Evaluation of wall, ceiling or floor components is generally limited to readily visible structural conditions. Aesthetic or cosmetic factors, (e.g., paint, wallpaper) or the condition of finish materials or coverings are not considered unless specifically noted. Furthermore, it is not possible to determine the wall insulation, type or condition of surfaces or hidden structural concerns that may exist under floor cover, carpeting, paneling, drop ceilings, etc. If the type flooring is a concern, it should be confirmed before closing.

Indoor Air Quality/Mold - All houses are potentially subject to indoor air quality concerns due to numerous factors such as improper venting systems, outgassing from construction materials, etc. Air quality can also be adversely affected by the growth of molds, fungi and other micro-organisms—most are results of excess moisture conditions. A home inspection does not include assessment of potential health of environmental contaminants or allergens. If leakage occurs of detrimental moisture conditions exist or develop the possibility of potentially harmful contaminants exist and therefore should be immediately addressed. For air quality evaluations, a qualified testing firm should be contacted.

Windows and Doors - Windows and door evaluations are based on a random sampling of a representative number of units. All units should be checked by the buyer for possible operational concerns or other deficiencies. Unless noted, presence of safety glazing at windows/doors is not evaluated.

Insulated Glass - Insulated (double or triple glaze) windows and doors are subject to hard-to-detect failure of the airtight seal between panes. This failure can result in moisture and/or staining of the unit that can vary seasonally and increase with time. While actual/suspect seal failure may be noted, it is not within the scope of a standard inspection to assess the seal integrity of these type units. A pre-closing check of all units when house is clear of drapes, window coverings, etc. and the view of the windows is unobstructed is advised.

Infiltration/Leakage - The particular cause of a leak, or the status of any prior leakage conditions, cannot be readily verified in most cases. If any possible causes for leakage anywhere in the house are noted, it should be understood that additional unanticipated factors may also be contributing to or causing the condition. Hidden damage may exist. All areas of potential concern should be attended to and/or monitored for leakage. Any renovation or finish work should only start after verification and correction of the cause of leakage.

Smoke/CO Detectors - Smoke/fire detection systems and fire extinguishers are generally recommended for all houses, and may be required in some areas. Carbon monoxide and gas detectors are also recommended for houses with fuel-burning appliances, fireplaces or attached garages. Any installed systems should be checked/serviced at least monthly. The potential for elevated carbon monoxide levels exists in most houses, particularly if an attached garage of fuel burning units are present.

Window/Door Seals - Replacement of insulated glass windows or doors is usually required to correct failed or defective vacuum seals. Fortunately, the insulation value is usually not significantly reduced. Replacement time frame may be discretionary; however, conditions will gradually worsen with time.

9. FOUNDATION / SLAB

The inspection of the house foundation/slab is limited to readily visible and access elements as listed herein. Most areas of a concrete house slabs are concealed from view due to foundation plantings, finished walls, high exterior grade lines, floor coverings, furnishings and other elements, and therefore cannot be inspected. Comments provided in this section only apply to the house slab; basement and garage slabs are typically covered in the respective report sections. Neither the inspection nor report includes geological surveys, soil compaction studies, ground testing, evaluation of the effects of or potential for earth movement such as earthquakes, landslides, or sinking, rising or shifting for any reason, or determination of prior flooding or water penetration. Furthermore, a standard home inspection is not a wood-destroying insect inspection, an engineering evaluation, a design analysis, or a structural adequacy study, including that related to high-wind or seismic restraint requirements.

NOTE: All foundations are subject to settlement and movement. Improper/inadequate grading or drainage can cause or contribute to foundation damage and/or failure and water penetration. Deficiencies must be corrected and proper grading/drainage conditions must be maintained to minimize foundation and water penetration concerns. If significant foundation movement or cracking is indicated, evaluation by an engineer or qualified foundation specialist is recommended. All wood components are subject to decay and insect damage; a wood-destroying insect inspection is recommended. Should decay and/or insect infestation or damage be reported, a full inspection should be made by a qualified specialist to determine the extent and remedial measures required. Insulation and other materials obstructing structural components are not normally moved or disturbed during a home inspection. Obstructed elements or inaccessible areas should be inspected when limiting conditions are removed. In high-wind or high-risk seismic areas, it would be advisable to arrange for an inspection of the house by a qualified specialist to determine whether applicable construction requirements are met or damage exists. Should you seek advice or wish to arrange a new inspection for elements not visible during the inspection, please contact the Inspection Company.

Even slab homes are subject to water penetration concerns. It is not possible to accurately determine the extent of any past or current conditions or to predict future conditions or concerns. It is recommended that the homeowner be contacted for details about the nature of past and current water penetration and moisture-related conditions. The homeowner and local authorities should also be questioned on the nature of any local flooding or water run-off conditions. Additional information related to the house structure or water penetration may be found under many other section headings in this report.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION - Review the additional details below.

WDI Treatment - If there are indications of prior treatment of the house for wood destroying insects, obtain documentation from owner on purpose and methods employed. No adequacy/contamination evaluations were performed.

NOTE: Older electric service may be minimally sufficient or inadequate for present/future needs. Service line clearance from trees and other objects must be maintained to minimize the chance of storm damage and service disruption. The identification of inherent electric panel defects or latent conditions is not possible. It is generally recommended that aluminum-wiring systems be checked by an electrician to confirm acceptability of all connections and to determine if any remedial measures are required. GFCIs are recommended for all high hazard areas (e.g., kitchens, bathrooms, garages and exteriors). AFCIs are relatively new devices now required on certain circuits in new homes. Consideration should be given to adding these devices in existing homes. The regular testing of GFCIs and AFCIs using the built-in test function is recommended. Recommend tracing and labeling of all circuits, or confirm current labeling is correct. Any electric defects or capacity or distribution concerns should be evaluated and/or corrected by a licensed electrician.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION - Review the additional details below.

Electrical System - Evaluations and material descriptions are based on a limited/random check of components. Accordingly, it is not possible to identify every possible condition or concern in a standard inspection. All electric defects/potential concerns should be evaluated/corrected by a licensed electrician.

Panel/Circuit Wiring - Aluminum wiring is common on service feeders and major appliance circuits. All aluminum connections should be checked periodically. If household circuits are listed as aluminum wiring, review any inspector comments and general aluminum (120v) wiring comments. The operation or adaptability of any 240 volt dedicated appliance circuit for use with a particular appliance was not determined.

Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupters - GFCIs are designed to improve personal safety and are recommended for all houses. Regular testing of GFCIs is required to ensure proper operation and protection. In most areas GFCIs have only been required on certain circuits since the mid-1970s. It is recommended that GFCIs be installed in all high hazard areas (e.g., kitchens, bathrooms, garages and exteriors).

Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupters - As of January 1st, 2002 many areas required the installation of a safety device, known as an Arc-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (AFCI's), in new construction. The purpose of an AFCI is to reduce fire hazards associated with frayed wires and electric arcing, particularly in areas such as living rooms and bedrooms were corded fixtures are used. AFCI's are not be evaluated as part of a standard home inspection. If present, AFCI devices should be checked periodically. If not present consider upgrading for safety. Should an AFCI "trip," it should be left in the tripped" or "off" position, and arrangements should be made to have the circuit in question checked by a licensed electrician.

Service Disconnects - The absence of a single or sub-main disconnect generally does not effect system function but may be required and/or pose a potential safety hazard.

Panel Circuit Labeling - No determination was made of individual circuit distribution or accuracy of any circuit labeling. Recommend tracing and labeling, or confirm correct labeling, of all circuits.

Auxiliary/Low Voltage Systems - Evaluation of ancillary, low voltage electric or electronic equipment (e.g., TV, doorbell, computer, cable, lightning protection, surge protection, low voltage lighting, intercoms, site lighting, alarms etc.,) is not performed as part of a standard home inspection.

House Service Line - The service line must have adequate clearance above the ground and from other objects (trees, poles, etc.) and must be maintained in a weathertight condition.

GFCI Test - While a defective GFCI receptacle may still allow electricity to flow to the receptacle (and appliance), if the field test indicated any actual or suspected malfunction of a GFCI, it should be corrected.

System Ground - All systems require a ground rod or other suitable grounding provision including a jumper over any water meter. Questionable grounding provisions should be checked/confirmed.

Light Fixtures/Switches - Light fixtures, ceiling fans, etc., are generally randomly checked to assess basic wiring conditions. Any inoperative unit may be due to a defective fixture or bulb, connection to undetected switch or other factors.

Site Lighting/Wiring - Advise check of all site lighting components to ensure proper wiring procedures/operation.

Concealed Electric - Due to house design, aside from electric devices and fixtures visible within the house, all electric system components are concealed and therefore could not be inspected. While it may be difficult to fully assess electric system conditions without opening walls or other destructive measures, an inspection and evaluation by a licensed electrician is recommended as a precautionary measure.

Review REPORT TERMINOLOGY on Introduction Page. Consult with your Inspector for clarification on ratings or findings if there are any questions.

NOTE: Regular cooling system maintenance is important. The older the unit the greater the probability of system deficiencies or failure. Inadequate cooling or other system problems may not be due simply to an inadequate refrigerant charge, as more significant concerns may exist. Condensate lines and pumps, if present, should be checked regularly for proper flow; backup or leakage can lead to mold growth and structural damage. All condensate drains must be properly discharged to the exterior or a suitable drain using an air gap. Cooling comfort will vary throughout most houses due to house or system design or other factors. Filters need to be replaced/cleaned on a regular basis; periodic duct cleaning may also be required. Cooling systems cannot be safely or properly evaluated at low exterior temperatures. Arrange for an inspection when temperatures are at moderate levels for several days. Servicing or repair of cooling systems should be made by a qualified specialist.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION - Review the additional details below.

Central Cooling - Evaluations are usually restricted to the basic operation of electric central air conditioning and heat pump systems. No heat gain, sizing, or design evaluations were performed. Thermostat calibration, accuracy and adequacy of conditioned air distribution were not determined. The evaporator coil (indoor coil) is not visible for inspection. Cool/cold weather operation/evaluation is not part of a standard inspection. No assessment was made related to the use of or potential hazards of any system refrigerant.

Heat Pumps - Heat pumps are designed to operate all year to provide cooling and heating. Most heat pumps have supplemental heating systems for cold weather (<40° F or 5° C). Due to design, anticipate low air flow/temperatures from registers. Also review pertinent HEATING SYSTEM comments. Identification of the presence of a heat pump unit (versus Central Cooling) is sometimes difficult; no verification of system type is made as part of the standard inspection.

Maintenance/Service - Regular cooling system maintenance is important. Due to the numerous causes of any system malfunction, assessment by a qualified cooling serviceman is advisable. Periodic refrigerant recharging may be needed; such conditions may not be predictable. Condensate back up or leakage can lead to mold growth.

Outdoor Unit - The outdoor unit base should be maintained in a reasonably level position. The coils will require periodic cleaning; clearance from vegetation/obstructions should also be provided.

Condensate Removal - All condensate must be properly discharged to the exterior or a suitable drain with an air gap. Condensate lines and pumps, if present, should be checked for proper flow regularly.

Blower/Filters) - Missing or clogged filters can affect system operation and possibly reduce the service life of the unit. Replace/clean filters when needed. Ductwork/blower cleaning may also be required periodically, particularly if the unit was operated without a filter.

Distribution System - Due to system design, balancing methods or other factors, airflow and/or supply provisions to areas appear limited/uneven. Improve as required or desired. Anticipate heat stratification.

Ceiling Fans - No determination is made regarding ceiling fan mounting adequacy, wiring methods, or product recall status as part of a standard inspection. As with other electric fixtures, fan evaluation is limited to assessment of basic electric supply. All fans should be checked for the potential concerns noted above.

NOTE: Regular heating system maintenance is important. The older the unit the greater the probability of system deficiencies or failure. Combustion air provisions, clearances to combustibles, and venting system integrity must be maintained for safe operation. Any actual or potential concerns require immediate attention, as health and safety hazards may exist, including the potential for carbon monoxide poisoning. A thorough inspection of heat exchangers by a qualified heating specialist is recommended to determine heat exchanger conditions, particularly if the unit is beyond 5+ years old or any wear is indicated. Heating comfort will vary throughout most houses due to house or system design or other factors. Filters need to be replaced/cleaned on a regular basis; periodic duct cleaning may be required. Insulation on older heating systems may contain asbestos. Independent evaluation is required to address any possible asbestos or buried fuel tank concerns. Servicing or repair of heating systems should be made by a qualified specialist.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION - Review the additional details below.

Central Heating Systems - Evaluation is limited to an operational check of conventional residential systems. No design or heating adequacy evaluation, thermostat calibration assessment, heat loss analyses or active/passive solar systems evaluations are performed as part of a standard inspection. Furthermore, no specific evaluations were performed related to the presence of any fuel storage tanks or asbestos-containing materials. Independent evaluation is required to address any possible asbestos or tank concerns.

Hot Air Furnace - The heart of a furnace is a metal chamber referred to as a heat exchanger. All or most areas of this exchanger are not readily accessible or visible to a home inspector. Therefore, assessment of a furnace is limited to external and operational conditions. The older the unit, the greater the probability of failure. A thorough inspection by a qualified HVAC contractor is advised for full evaluation of heat exchanger conditions, particularly if the unit is beyond 5+ years old or any wear is exhibited. Check filters monthly; replace/clean as needed.

Heat Pumps - A heat pump is designed to operate all year to provide cooling and heating. Most heat pumps have supplemental heating systems for cold weather (< 40° F or 5° C). Due to design, anticipate low airflow/temperatures from registers. Also review pertinent HEATING SYSTEM comments. Identification of the presence of a heat pump unit (versus Central Cooling) is sometimes difficult; no verification of system type is made as part of the standard inspection.

Maintenance/Service - Servicing or repair of the heating system normally must be done by a qualified service company; most utility companies only service/handle gas supply concerns.

Blower/Filters) - Missing or clogged filters can affect system operation and possibly reduce the service life of the unit. Replace/clean filters as needed. Ductwork/blower cleaning may also be required periodically, particularly if the unit was operated without a filter.

NOTE: Recommend obtaining documentation/verification on the type water supply and waste disposal systems. If private onsite water and/or sewage systems are reported/determined to exists, independent evaluation (including water analyses) is recommended. Plumbing systems are subject to unpredictable change, particularly as they age (e.g., leaks may develop, water flow may drop, or drains may become blocked). Plumbing system leakage can cause or contribute to mold and/or structural concerns. Some piping may be subject to premature failure due to inherent material deficiencies or water quality problems, (e.g., polybutylene pipe may leak at joints, copper water pipe may corrode due to acidic water, or old galvanized pipe may clog due to water mineral content). Periodic cleaning of drain lines, including underground pipes will be necessary. Periodic water analyses are recommended to determine if water filtration and treatment systems are needed. Confirm and label gas and water shut-off valve locations. A qualified plumber should perform all plumbing system repairs.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION - Review the additional details below.

Water Supply/Waste Disposal - Neither the source, type nor quality of water supply, nor the method of waste disposal is determined as part of a standard home inspection. Advise obtaining documentation/verification of type systems. If a private water and/or waste system exists, independent evaluation by a specialist is recommended.

Plumbing Components - Evaluation of the plumbing system was limited to permanently connected fixtures and readily visible pipe conditions. The function and effectiveness of laundry standpipes, vent pipes, floor drains, fixture overflows, anti-siphon devices and similar items generally cannot be evaluated. Conditions are subject to unpredictable change, e.g., leaks may develop, water flow may drop, drains may become blocked, etc. The detection of sewer gases and the condition/function of sub-slab or in-ground piping is excluded from a standard inspection. In-ground piping is subject to blockage/collapse.

Shut Off/Location - Confirm and label gas and water shut-off valve locations. Provide full access at all times.

Plastic Piping - Certain types of plastic piping systems have exhibited material or installation deficiencies resulting in premature leakage, particularly polybutylene (PB) piping manufactured prior to the mid 1990s. Some PB piping that developed leaks qualified for a special PB pipe repair program administered by the Consumer Plumbing Recovery Center or other group. Some other settlement programs were also established. Any problems that develop in newer systems may qualify for remedial work under manufacturer warranties. Contact the CPRC, the pipe manufacturer, or a qualified plumber or for assessment of the system and possible remedies if any prior concerns were reported or ongoing concerns exist.

Backflow Preventer - These device are required in many areas, on exterior hose bibs (faucets) and at other threaded faucets such as laundry sinks to prevent water supply contamination.

Concealed Plumbing - Due to building/unit design, aside from plumbing fixtures visible within the dwelling, all plumbing system components are concealed and therefore could not be inspected.

14. HOT WATER SUPPLY

The inspection of hot water supply systems is limited to readily visible and accessible elements as listed herein. Elements concealed from view for any reason cannot be inspected. All standard water heaters require temperature-pressure relief valves (TPRV); these units are not operated during a standard home inspection but should be checked regularly for proper operation. A standard home inspection does not include evaluation of the adequacy/capacity of hot water supply systems, or inspection of saunas, steam baths, or solar systems. An increase in the hot water supply system capacity may be needed for large jetted baths or other fixtures requiring a large volume of hot water, or when bathroom or plumbing facilities are added or upgraded. Additional information related to the hot water supply system may be found under other headings in this report, including the BATHROOMS and PLUMBING SYSTEM sections.

NOTE: Maintaining hot-water supply temperatures at no more that about 120° F (49° C) for will reduce the risk of injury; hot water represents a potential scalding hazard. Anti-scald devices are available as an added safety measure. The combustion chamber or ignition sources of water heaters and other mechanical equipment in garage areas should be positioned/maintained at least 18 inches above the floor for safety reasons. Adequate clearance to combustibles must also be maintained around the unit and any vents. Restraining straps are generally required on heaters in active seismic zones. Safety valve (TPRV) discharge should be through a drain line to a readily visible area that can be monitored. Newer tanks should be drained periodically, but many old tanks are best left alone. Tankless or boiler coils systems have little or no storage capacity; a supplemental storage tank can often be added if needed. A qualified plumber or specialist should perform all water heating system repairs.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION - Review the additional details below.

Domestic Hot Water - The adequacy of the domestic hot water supply or temperatures was not determined. Evaluations are limited to assessment of visual conditions and confirmation of heated water flow to the fixtures. Newer tanks should be drained periodically, but many old tanks are best left alone.

Dip Tubes - The dip tube is located in the water heater to direct incoming cold water to the bottom of the tank. Due to a manufacture defect, plastic dip tubes used in many tanks manufactured in 1993-1996 are subject to premature failure. To confirm possible coverage for replacement costs or consequential damage, contact a local plumber or the water heater manufacturer.

Relief Valves - All standard water heaters require temperature-pressure relief valves (TPRV). These units are not operated during a standard home inspection but should be checked regularly for proper operation.

Water Temperatures - Hot water temperature generally should not exceed approximately 120° F (49° C)at any fixture. Elevated temperatures should be corrected. Monitor and adjust as required. Anti-scald devices are available as a safety measure.

TPRV Discharge - Valve discharge should be through a drain line to a readily visible area so that it can be monitored. The lines should not be reduced below valve opening size (3/4 inch), or restricted in any way. Metal piping is recommended for the drain line; if plastic is allowed, only high temperature plastic is acceptable.

NOTE: Obtain information on pool design and operation from the owner and service company. Follow the manufacturer's pool use and maintenance guidelines. All patios or other surfaces around the pool should be maintained to allow for water drainage and to prevent slip/trip hazards. Check all components regularly for defects or other detrimental conditions. A properly working Ground-fault Circuit-interrupter (GFCI) should be provided on pool circuits. A qualified electrician should check pool grounding and bonding provisions. Proper water treatment is required to minimize water quality concerns and health hazards. Fencing or other suitable barriers are required are recommended to help prevent unauthorized use. The installation of self-closing/self-latching child-resistant gates and water entry alarms is also advised when children may be present. Be aware; however, that neither fencing nor other devices are substitutes for the proper supervision of children. Check with local authorities for requirements. A qualified pool service company should perform pool repair or servicing work, including seasonal startup and shutdown.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION - Review the additional details below.

Pool/Spa - Evaluation of all pool elements is limited to the visible condition of components above ground or water level. Evaluation for structural damage and/or leakage is not possible without continual observation and/or drainage. Electrical ground continuity, the chemical composition of the water, and internal filter condition were also not determined. Obtain information on system design and operation from the owner and service company. For a detailed assessment of the pool's history of service and condition, contact the service company that installed/serviced the pool.

Fencing/Gates - Fencing is required for most pools. The use of self-closing/self-latching child-resistant gates and entry/water alarms is also advised. Check with local requirements or recommendations on pool gates/fencing. (Note: Barriers are supplements to supervision, not substitutes for it.)

Filtration System - Comments on the filtration system are generally limited to assessment of external appearances. Adequacy, efficiency, etc., are not addressed. Routine servicing is advised.

Tilework/Grouting - While damage may be readily apparent in only a few areas, all tiled areas should be checked whenever grout, coping or other edging material repair is needed. The expansion joint around in-ground pools should be kept sealed with a suitable grout or expandable compound.

Pool Lights - Grounding provisions for pool lights/components must be assessed by an electrician. Any work related to pool electric or lighting should only be performed by a qualified specialist. Only the appropriately labeled fixtures should be used and professionally installed.

Electric/GFCI - Electric deficiencies should be attended to immediately. A properly working Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) should be provided on pool lighting and electric circuits, particularly if within 5-10 feet of the pool.
