Conditions

Others Present: None Property Status: Occupied

Inspection Date: 05/15/2019

Electricity: On Gas: On Water: On

Weather: Cloudy Soil Conditions: Dry

Water Source: City How Verified: Visual Inspection

Sewage Disposal: City How Verified: Visual Inspection

Health/Safety Asbestos: Asbestos material observed - Homes built prior to 1978 may be built with materials known

to contain asbestos. Products like acoustic ceiling spray texture ("popcorn" or "cottage cheese"

ceilings), tiles, vent flues, and linoleum are some examples of materials that may contain asbestos. In

many cases it is safe to leave these materials in the home, if they are in places where they will not be

disturbed. If the material must be removed (as in the case of renovation or remodel), it should be

handled and disposed of in accordance with EPA guidelines.

Health/Safety Lead Paint: Lead paint suspected based on age - Homes built prior to 1978 may contain lead paint.

Lead paint can deteriorate into lead dust that can be harmful when inhaled, especially by the elderly or

young children. While lead paint can be "encapsulated" by painting over it with non-lead paint, chips of

paint may still be dangerous. Painted wooden windows are also sources of lead dust in a home as the

abrasive action of opening & closing makes dust more likely. An environmental services company can

determine if lead paint is present.




StructureVisual inspection is limited to accessible areas. Inspector is not required to move furniture, rugs, access panels, or belongings. Some

defects may be hidden by these items. Inspector is not required to enter areas that he/she deems to be dangerous, for any reason.

Lots and GroundsVisual inspection is limited to accessible areas. Inspector is not required to move furniture, rugs, access panels, or belongings. Some








1. Marginal Driveway: Concrete - Driveway had cracking that appeared typical and should be monitored. If

condition worsens, correction may be necessary in order to ensure stability of driveway.

2. Marginal Walks: Concrete - Sidewalk had cracking that appeared typical and should be monitored. If

condition worsens, correction may be necessary in order to ensure stability of walkway.

3. Defective Patio: Concrete - Patio was cracked throughout. Recommend resurfacing or replacement to help

4. Acceptable Deck: Painted wood

5. Acceptable Grading: Flat

6. Acceptable Swale: No problem observed

7. Acceptable Ground Cover: Grass

8. Marginal Vegetation: Trees - Trees planted within 10 feet of the foundation could cause damage.

Recommend removal of any trees within this distance.




Lots and Grounds (Continued)9. Defective Fence: Wood - Wooden fence was in contact with the dirt below, which can lead to decay and

pest infestation. Only treated wood should be in contact with the dirt. Dirt should be removed from

the bottom of the fence.

10. Not Inspected Lawn Sprinklers: The function of yard sprinklers are beyond the scope of this inspection. For

further evaluation, contact a qualified landscape maintenance contractor.




RoofVisual inspection is limited to accessible areas. Inspector is not required to move furniture, rugs, access panels, or belongings. Some








Main Roof Surface

1. Method of Inspection: On roof

2. Acceptable Unable to Inspect: 0%

3. Marginal Material: Asphalt shingle - Shingles throughout the roof had missing granules. There were torn

and cracked shingles in various places. While no evidence of current leakage was observed, leaks

may develop without warning.

Roof had exposed fasteners that could be an entry point for water. An appropriate sealant should

be applied over the fasteners. This is a regular maintenance issue that should be performed as

needed.

Exposed fastener Exposed fasteners

4. Type: Hip

5. Approx Age: 10+ years

6. Acceptable Valleys: Asphalt shingle

7. Acceptable Skylights: Tube-type

8. Acceptable Plumbing Vents: ABS
