Inspection Details

Grounds

We appreciate the opportunity to conduct this inspection for you! Please carefully read your entire Inspection Report. Call us after you have reviewed your report, so we can go over any questions you may have. Remember, when theinspection is completed and the report is delivered, we are still available to you for any questions you may have.Properties being inspected do not "Pass" or "Fail.” - The following report is based on an inspection of the visible portionof the structure; inspection may be limited by vegetation and possessions. Depending upon the age of the property,some items like GFI outlets may not be installed; this report will focus on safety and function, not current code. Thisreport identifies specific non-code, non-cosmetic concerns that the inspector feels may need further investigation orrepair.The only thing that we guarantee is that we cannot find all the problems and defects. Some will be missed. An inspectionis not a perfect science. We do the best we can to find things that are an issue on the day we do the inspection. Wemake no other claims and we make no real predictions.For your safety and liability purposes, we recommend that licensed contractors evaluate and repair any critical concernsand defects. Note that this report is a snapshot in time. If purchasing, we recommend that you or yourrepresentative carry out a final walk-through inspection immediately before closing to check the condition of theproperty, using this report as a guide. ..

Electrical

Needs to be grouped, protected. Multiple bathroom vent fans duct into attic space - defect.

Multiple bathroom vent fans duct into attic space - defect.We are not electricians. Feel free to hire an electrician prior to closing. If we feel that it is safe enough to open the electrical panel, we will check theinterior components of service panels and sub panels, the conductors, and the over-current protection devices. Inside the house, we will check arepresentative number of installed lighting fixtures, switches, and receptacles. This is not an exhaustive inspection of every component and installationdetail. There will be receptacles and switches and lights that we will not have time to inspect. Ask property owner about all of the wall switches.Therefore, it is essential that any recommendations that we may make for correction should be completed before the close of escrow, because anelectrician could reveal other problems or recommend repairs.Note that only actual GFCI outlets are tested and tripped. Some baths may have non-GFCI outlets which are protected by a GFCI outlet in a remotearea (garage, another bath, etc.). Confirm with owner that apparent non-GFCI outlets within 6’ of wet areas are thus protected. Also, note that mostelectricians agree that smoke detectors are good for about 5 years, and the breakers in your panel box have an expected life of about 20 years. Therefore, if this home was built before 1990, consider having the panel box and breakers evaluated by a licensed electrician, as an overheatedbreaker can result in a structural fire. If your home does not have a carbon monoxide detector (few do!), we recommend making that investment. Anyhome that has a Bulldog Pushmatic, Zinsco, Sylvania Zinsco or Federal Pacific Electric panel should have it evaluated by a licensed electrician, asthese older types of panels and breakers have been known to overheat and cause house fires.

Plumbing/Electrical

6. FusesMaterials: 15 amp. • 20 amp.Observations:• The sub panel normal outlet breakers were a mixture of 15 and 20 amp units. This this OK.

7. Needs AttentionObservations:• Most receptacles accessed tested OK.

8. Need RepairsObservations:• Some receptacles tested a voltage drop a little too high under load conditions. In my experience many houses thatare relatively new ones have an average of 3 - 8 or 9 percent voltage drop.• I generally report only those that are greater than 10% voltage drop, but recommend you get an electrician to testfurther.• See diagram / electrical plan.• Consider that the Rodents in the attic space may have chewed on wires. This is a common problem. This couldaccount for voltage drops. I did not see and of this type of damage on inspection but obviously only some parts of wiresare visible.Have pest control inspect regularly and treat for rodents and insects as needed. (no insect damage seen in visibleareas that were inspected).

1. Plumbing MaterialsObservations:• Copper pipes noted - used as a ground in laundry room. Have electrician verify this is correct.• Drier ground connection irregular to pipe in Laundry room, loose. Have checked by electrician.

2. General ElectricObservations:• Most receptacles, except where noted, are in fair condition and those ones tested were ok. See electrical blueprintwith outlet inspection details.• A low voltage alarm system was installed. Due to the specialized nature of these systems, we suggest that you reviewthese systems with the seller. As per our Inspection Agreement, these systems are beyond the scope of this report andwere not inspected.• House being updated (3-10-2011) wires exposed after some insulation has been removed. Recommend getting alarmspecialist to review system while it is more exposed in the attic.

3. AFCI GFCI AreasObservations:• Some GFCI did not respond properly to tests, suggest replacing for safety.• Recommend AFCI in all bedroom areas. This can be done by replacing with updated breakers in the electrical panel.• Note: kitchen does not have any GFCI protection.

The heating, ventilation, air conditioning and cooling system (often referred to as HVAC) is the climate control system for the structure. The goal ofthese systems is to keep the occupants at a comfortable level while maintaining indoor air quality, ventilation while keeping maintenance costs at aminimum. The HVAC system is usually powered by electricity and natural gas, but can also be powered by other sources such as butane, oil, propane,solar panels, or wood. The inspector will test the heating and air conditioner using the thermostat or other normal controls. A more thoroughinvestigation of the system, including the heat (“firebox”) exchanger, should be conducted by a licensed HVAC service person every year. Failure to doso may result in carbon monoxide escaping through cracks in a heat exchanger or flue pipe, resulting in death.We are not required to inspect the parts which are not readily accessible, like the coil, compressor, or valves. We do not inspect the humidifier ordehumidifier, the electronic air filter, the solar space heating system, and determine heat or cooling supply adequacy or distribution balance.The components of most heat pump systems have a design-life ranging from fifteen to twenty-five years, but can fail prematurely with poormaintenance, which is why we attempt to guess the age. We inspect the heat pump system in accordance with the standards of practice, which meansthat we do not dismantle any components. We do not operate the system in heat mode when it is hot outside. We do not operate the system in coolingmode when it is too cool outside. It is essential that any recommendation that we make for service, correction, or repair be scheduled before the closeof escrow, because the hired-professional could reveal additional defects or recommend further repairs that could affect your evaluation of the property.Note: Health is a deeply personal responsibility. You should have the air quality tested and the ductwork cleaned as a prudent investment inenvironmental hygiene, especially if any family member suffers from allergies or asthma.

The Interior section covers areas of the house that are not considered part of the Bathrooms, Bedrooms, Kitchen or areas covered elsewhere in thereport. Interior areas usually consist of hallways, foyer, and other open areas. Within these areas the inspector is performing a visual inspection and willreport visible damage, wear and tear, and moisture problems if seen. Personal items in the structure may prevent the inspector from viewing all areason the interior.The inspector does not usually test for mold or other hazardous materials. A qualified expert should be consulted if you would like further testing.We check only a representative number of doors and windows. We are not required to inspect the paint, wallpaper, the carpeting, the windowtreatments and screens. We do not move furniture, lift carpets or rugs, empty closets or cabinets, and we do not comment on cosmetic deficiencies. Wemay not comment on the cracks that appear around windows and doors, or which follow the lines of framing members and the seams of drywall andplasterboard. These cracks are usually a consequence of movement, such as wood shrinkage and common settling, and will often reappear. We do not

Kitchen

The kitchen is used for food preparation and often for entertainment. Kitchens typically include a stove, dishwasher, sink and other appliances. We donot do a full test of all the appliances. We may test a single run of the dishwasher and see that the oven warms. We do not test for temperatureconfirmations. We check some of the appliances only as a courtesty to you. Appliances are not within the scope of a home inspection. We are notrequired to inspect the kitchen appliances. We do not evaluate them for their performance nor for the accuracy of their settings or cycles. Appliancesbreak. We assume no responsibility for future problems with the appliances.If they are older than ten years, they may well exhibit decreased efficiency. Also, many older ovens are not secured to the wall to prevent tipping. Besure to check the appliance, especially if children are in the house. We recommend installing a minimum five pound ABC-type fire extinguishermounted on the wall inside the kitchen area. Built-in appliance receptacles are not tested as it is difficult to move the appliance out of its location.

1. DishwasherObservations:• Dishwasher was not tested at time of inspection.

2. Garbage DisposalObservations:• All appliances were working according to the homeowner, not tested.

Leak under sink, Make sure dispoal wire cannot sag onto wet area.3. MicrowaveObservations:• Built-in microwave ovens are tested using normal operating controls. Unit was tested and appeared to be serviceableat time of inspection. Leak and/or efficiency testing is beyond the scope of this inspection. If concerned, client shouldseek further review by qualified technician prior to closing.I did take random micro wave readings. The values were 0.00 to 3.10 - should be less than 5 mW/cm2.

4. Cook top conditionObservations:• This unit appeared serviceable at time of inspection. Inspection does not include calibration as this is not atechnically exhaustive inspection. No warranties or grantees of this or any other appliance can be offered.

1. Tools of the TradeMaterials: CEM DT-2G microwave leakage detector. • Extech circuit breaker finder CB10 • Fluke Voltmeters. •Greenlee GT-10 GFI GFCI tester. • Ideal SureTest circuit analyzer.

1. UpgradesMaterials: Consider having AFCI protection put into all bedroom areas. • Kitchen needs GFCI protection at all outlets. •Replace aging smoke and fire detectors with appropriately located new ones.Materials: Overview:

Note: During the inspection the homeowner was present and we were told all the fixtures and appliances were inproper working order, they were not tested.

Fire Alarms: There are but a few scattered fire alarms, they were not tested. These items do not last forever and doneed periodic replacement. We recommend they all be replaced with new ones using a certified fire alarm contractor. Iwas told the alarm system was not operable. Consider re-activating it at least to connect your fire alarms to a central,monitored system.

An electrician needs to tighten all electrical connections in the panel boxes and at numerous receptacles. This may bethe main cause of all the voltage drops under load. Possible fire hazard. See house plans - electrical blueprint wherenotes were made...

It may be that some of the voltage drops are from wires that was damaged by Rodents. There was evidence of rodentsbeing present at one time. Closer inspection of wires in the attic areas is advised. Rats like to chew through cables.

Otherwise issues are as noted in the details of this report.

2.10. Doors, Windows &Interior 3. Limitations, Exceptions &Exclusions 4. Glossary of Terms 5. Standards of Practice Inspection Exclusions 1. Definitions and Scope 1.1. A Home Inspection is a non-invasive, visual examination of a residential dwelling, performed for a fee, which is designed to identify easily observedmaterial defects within specific components of said dwelling. Only areas easy to see and access are inspected (with limitations). Components mayinclude any combination of mechanical, structural, electrical, plumbing, or other essential systems or portions of the home, as identified and agreed toby the Client and Inspector, prior to the inspection process. I. A home inspection is intended to assist in evaluation of the overall condition of the dwelling. The inspection is based on observation of the visible andapparent condition of the structure and its components on the date of the inspection, and not the prediction of future conditions. The inspector is not aspecialist within separate fields but rather a generalist. As such, findings will be less than those that experts within each field will be able to find. II. A home inspection will not reveal every concern that exists or ever could exist, but only those material defects observed on the day of the inspection.Everything is based on the inspectors opinion at the time of the inspection. III. A home inspection can include a survey and/or analysis of energy flows and usage in a residential property if the client requests it. 1.2. A Material Defect is a condition of a residential real property, or any portion of it, that would have a significant, adverse impact on the value of thereal property, or that involves an unreasonable risk to people on the property. The fact that a structural element, system or subsystem is near, at orbeyond the end of the normal useful life of such a structural element, system or subsystem is not by itself a material defect. 1.3. An Inspection Report shall describe and identify, in written format, the inspected systems, structures, and components of the dwelling, and shallidentify the material defects that were observed at inspection. Inspection reports may contain recommendations regarding conditions reported orrecommendations for correction, monitoring or further evaluation by professionals, but this is not required. The inspectors opinion may vary from theopinion of others. 2. Standards of Practice 2.1. Roof I. The inspector shall inspect from ground level or eaves: A. the roof covering;B. the gutters;C. the downspouts;D. the vents, flashings, skylights, chimney and other roof penetrations; andE. the general structure of the roof from the readily accessible panels, doors or stairs. 2.2. ExteriorI. The inspector shall inspect readily accessible: A. siding, flashing and trim;B. exterior doors, decks, stoops, steps, stairs, porches, railings, eaves, soffits and fascias;C. and report as in need of repair any spacings between intermediate balusters, spindles, or rails for steps, stairways, balconies, and railings thatpermit the passage of an object greater than 4 inches in diameter, from a representative sampling;D. a representative number of windows;E. the vegetation, surface drainage, and retaining walls when these are likely to adversely affect the structure;F. and describe the exterior wall covering.


Page 22 of 31

2.3. Basement, Foundation &Crawlspace I. The inspector shall inspect readily accessible: A. the basement;B. the foundation;C. the crawlspace;D. the visible structural components;E. and report on the location of under-floor access openings;F. and report any present conditions or clear indications of active water penetration observed by the inspector;G. for wood in contact or near soil;H. and report any general indications of foundation movement that are observed by the inspector, such as, but not limited to: sheetrock cracks, brickcracks, out-of-square door frames, or floor slopes;I. and report on any cutting, notching and boring of framing members which may present a structural or safety concern. 2.4.
