The following items or discoveries indicate that these systems or components do not function as intended or adverselyaffects the habitability of the dwelling; or warrants further investigation by a specialist, or requires subsequentobservation. This summary shall not contain recommendations for routine upkeep of a system or component to keep it inproper functioning condition or recommendations to upgrade or enhance the function or efficiency of the home. ThisSummary is not the entire report. The complete report may include additional information of concern to the customer. It isrecommended that the customer read the complete report.

I. STRUCTURAL SYSTEMSA. Foundations

Inspected, Deficient(1) One or more foundation vent(s) were below ground level, which can allow water to enter the crawlspace.(2) Standing water was observed in the crawlspace beneath the left side of the home. Water intrusion cancontribute to differential foundation movement and mold. Improve grading & drainage as needed to prevent waterintrusion.(3) No under floor insulation or moisture barrier were present in the crawlspace.(4) Cracks were observed at one or more areas of the perimeter footing.(5) Any construction debris should be removed from the crawlspace under the home.(6) The foundation did not appear to be in need of immediate remedial leveling at the time of the visual inspection.Hairline cracks were observed at the garage floor. The rate of hairline cracks cannot be determined from a one-timesite visual inspection and should be monitored. If the cracks advance, a qualified foundation engineer should becontacted for further evaluation.(7) Only areas of the crawlspace determined accessible by the inspector are inspected.

B. Grading & DrainageInspected, Deficient(1) There was a negative slope observed towards the home in one or more areas. Proper drainage is critical to theperformance of the foundation. All grades should drop away from the structure at a rate of 6 inches for every 10feet. Improve drainage as needed so that water flows away from the home.


Page 61 of 75REI 7-5 (05/04/2015)

I. STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS(2) It is advisable to maintain at least 3-6 inches minimum of clear area between the ground and exterior finishes.Areas where the soil is in contact with the exterior finish are conducive to wood-destroying insect activity.(3) Holes (possibly from burrowing pests) were observed at the base of the steps to the abandoned rear porch.(4) One or more gutters appear to hold water and need to be re-pitched for proper drainage.(5) Inspector cannot determine whether underground drainage systems will perform as intended. Monitor thesedrains and keep them clear of debris to ensure adequate flow.(6) The landscape in some areas may require a trench or drain if water stands or puddles after heavy rain.

C. Roof Covering MaterialsInspected, Not Inspected, Deficient(1) Slate tile roofs are not walked on by the inspector, however, cracked and loose tiles were observed at the roofcovering above the rear porches. Recommend further evaluation and repair by a qualified roofing contractor.(2) Ponding was observed at the flashing beneath the dormer windows above the garage.(3) Kick-out flashing is recommended at roof-to-wall connections to divert water away from exterior finishes. Have aroofer correct where needed.(4) The tree limbs that are in contact with, or hanging near the roof should be trimmed.(5) Client Advisory: The roof was not safely/easily accessible due to the height off the ground with no secondarymethod of access. Some items may not be discovered without access to the roof. Recommend having the roof androof covering materials evaluated by a roofing contractor. The inspector cannot guarantee that the roof will be freeof leaks, nor can the inspector determine the remaining service life of the roof covering.

D. Roof Structures and AtticsInspected, Deficient(1) Rot was observed at several cupolas. Repair or replace any damaged and rotten wood. Additional damage maybe present that was not visible to the inspector.(2) Weather-strip the attic access perimeters and insulate the access covers to reduce air infiltration and heat fromthe attic area.(3) Inspector was unable to open the metal scuttle hole in the master bedroom.(4) One or more attic access openings are undersized by today's code standards. The minimum attic accessopening should be 22" x 30". The size of the access door above the kitchen area may inhibit service and/orreplacement of the HVAC equipment in this space.(5) No strong backs (T-bracing) were present at the roof supports above the master suite. T-bracing helps preventsupports from bowing. Repair as needed.(6) Current building standards dictate that roof supports and purlin should be the same size as the lumber that theysupport. 2x6 roof rafters are being supported by 2x4 and 1x6 supports in some areas. The roof and structure wereperforming as intended at the time of inspection.(7) Current code standards call for collar ties to be installed between rafters to prevent rafter spread.(8) A bucket was observed in the attic above the master bedroom. Inspector was unable to access this space.(9) Water staining was observed at the attic decking above the vestibule to the master suite.(10) Rodent traps were observed in the attic. Pest control and sealing of access points is recommended.(11) Insulation should be properly distributed to cover all portions of the attic located above the home living space.(12) Recommend additional insulation to bring attic R value to an R 30 or greater.(13) Only areas of the attic determined accessible by the inspector were inspected. Insulation, HVAC ducts/mechanical equipment, limited headroom, wiring (electrical, cable and alarm) and risk of ceiling damage areexamples of factors that may inhibit access.

E. Walls (Interior & Exterior)Inspected, Deficient(1) Cracks were observed in the mortar at one or more areas of the masonry veneer. Mortar improvements arerecommended to prevent water penetration.(2) Rot was observed at the siding and/or wood trim in one or more areas. Replace or repair all damaged and rottenwood. Additional damage may be present that was not visible to the inspector.(3) The paint is failing and/or worn at one or more areas of the exterior wood.

COMPANY RELATIONSHIPS/THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS.

Austinspect may have an affiliation with third-party service providers ("TPSP") in order to offer value-added services to its Clients. The company may also arrange for these TPSP to send literature or makepost-inspection contact with the Company's Clients.

The following general comments and limitations may not pertain to all houses inspected:

• The foundation inspection is limited. The inspector does not pull up floor coverings, move furniture, measureelevations or propose repairs. The inspector does not enter crawl space areas less than 18 inches. It is important tokeep soil moisture contents by foundation consistent year round.

• It is advisable to maintain at least 3 inches minimum of clear area between the ground and siding. Proper drainageis critical to the performance of the foundation. All grades should drop away from the structure at a rate of 6 inchesfor every 10 feet.

• The inspector does not speculate on the remaining life expectancy of the roof covering. The inspector does not liftor remove shingles or tiles. Inspection of fastening systems at shingle tabs are not inspected as this could damagethe shingle. Metal and clay tile roofs are not walked on as this could damage the roof covering. Only roofs that canbe safely accessed will be walked on. Some roofs may have a pitch too great to walk on without safety restraints. Inthis case the roof will be viewed with binoculars and/or from the roof edge.

• Only areas of the attic determined accessible by the inspector are inspected.• Only areas free and clear of furniture and other obstructions are inspected. Observation of these areas is related to

structural performance and water penetration only. The inspection does not include obvious damage. It isrecommended that all surfaces be kept well sealed (interior and exterior). This inspection does not cover any issues

that are considered to be environmental, such as, but not limited to, lead based paint, asbestos, radon, mold,mildew or fungus.

• Cosmetic items and obvious holes are not included in this report. It is common in the course of climate changes thatsome doors may bind mildly or the latches may need adjustment.

• Double pane window seals may be broken without having a visible amount of condensation built up between thepanes. Obviously fogged windows are noted when observed but complete inspection is not possible due to lightconditions, installed screens, dirt on surfaces and rain at time of inspection. Consult a glass installer for furtherevaluation of windows in the event of any insulated glass failure prior to closing. If the house is occupied somewindows may be inaccessible due to owner's belongings. We do not move or climb on furniture to open a window.

• The inspection does not include the adequacy of draft or condition of chimney flue tiles. If creosote buildup is noted,the flue should be cleaned by a chimney sweep for safety
