All work should be performed by a qualified contractor.




1. RoofThe roof inspection portion of the General Home Inspection will not be as comprehensive as an inspection performed by a qualified roofing contractor.Because of variations in installation requirements of the huge number of different roof-covering materials installed over the years, the General HomeInspection does not include confirmation of proper installation. Home Inspectors are trained to identify common deficiencies and to recognizeconditions that require evaluation by a specialist. Inspection of the roof typically includes visual evaluation of the roof structure, roof-coveringmaterials, flashing, and roof penetrations like chimneys, mounting hardware for roof-mounted equipment, attic ventilation devices, ducts forevaporative coolers, and combustion and plumbing vents. The roof inspection does not include leak-testing and will not certify or warranty the roofagainst future leakage. Other limitations may apply and will be included in the comments as necessary.

5. StructureThe General Home Inspection includes inspection of the home structural elements that were readily visible at the time of the inspection. This mayinclude the: foundation; walls; floor structure; and/or roof structure. Soils vary in their stability and ability to support the weight of a structure. Minorcracking is normal with some common foundation materials, is typically limited to the material surface, is not a structural concern, and may not becommented on. Cracking related to soil/foundation movement indicates the potential for present or future structural concerns and will be commentedon to the best of the inspector's ability.

Much of the home structure is hidden behind exterior and interior roof, floor, wall, and ceiling coverings, or is buried underground. Because theGeneral Home Inspection is limited to visual and non-invasive methods, this report may not identify all structural deficiencies. Identification of portionsof the wall structure not directly visible requires logical assumptions on the part of the Inspector that are based on the Inspectors past experience andknowledge of common building practices.

Upon observing indications that structural problems may exist that are not readily visible, or the evaluation of which lies beyond the Inspector'sexpertise, the inspector may recommend evaluation or testing by a specialist that may include invasive measures, which would require homeownerpermission.

(1)1. Water heaters are required to be anchored or strapped to resist horizontal displacement due to

earthquake motion. Strappings shall be at points within the upper one-third and lower one-third of itsvertical dimensions. At the lower point, a distance of not less than four (4) inches (102 mm) shall bemaintained from the controls to the strapping.

2. The pressure/temperature relief valve should be plumbed to the exterior of the home.3. Delivered hot water temperature was measured at the sink was 125 deg F. I would recommend

adjusting hot water temperature to deliver 120 deg F to reduce the risk of scalding.

I would recommend repairs by a licensed plumbing contractor.

(2) Please note, this water heatermay have exceeded it's typical life-span of 12 to 18 years. Consider ahome warranty to mitigate repair/replacement costs. Budget for areplacement in the future.



The plumbing in the home was inspected and reported on with the above information. Washing machine drain line for example cannot be checked forleaks or the ability to handle the volume during drain cycle. Older homes with galvanized supply lines or cast iron drain lines can be obstructed andbarely working during an inspection but then fails under heavy use. If the water is turned off or not used for periods of time (like a vacant home waitingfor closing) rust or deposits within the pipes can further clog the piping system. Any repair items mentioned in this report should be considered beforepurchase. It is recommended that qualified contractors be used in your further inspection or repair issues as it relates to the comments in thisinspection report.

9. HeatingHeating system inspection will not be as comprehensive as that performed by a qualified heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systemcontractor. For example: identification of cracked heat exchangers requires a contractor evaluation. Report comments are limited to identification ofcommon requirements and deficiencies. Observed indications that further evaluation is needed will result in referral to a qualified HVAC contractor.The general home inspection does not include any type of heating system warranty or guaranty. Inspection of heating systems is limited to basicevaluation based on visual examination and operation using normal controls.
