(1) Some of the homes receptacles are ungrounded (both 2-prong and 3-prong). This is most likely due toolder sections of wiring having only two wires and not a third ground wire. Electrical codes require ungroundedreceptacles to either be the 2-prong type or allow them to be converted to 3-prong receptacles if they are GFCIprotected. Be aware that any appliance with a 3-prong plug relies on grounding.

6.1 PLUMBING DRAIN, WASTE AND VENT SYSTEMSComments

The A/C could not be tested for proper operation due to the outside air temperature below 60 degrees.We did not inspect this system.

Fireplace damper opens and closes properly. A fireplace screens should be installed.

Some of the water supply pipes in this home are made of galvanized steel. Be aware that these pipes areolder. Pipes were tested by running multiple fixtures at the same time. Pressure and flow was adequate.



6.2 WATER HEATERSComments

(1) Based on age of home, I recommend having a plumber perform a sewer scope inspection of mainsewer line. According to home owner the main sewer line has been replaced.

(2) Cast iron drain pipe is basement has rust and signs of past leaking. No leaks were detected at time ofinspection. Old cast iron pipe will eventually need replaced.

(1) Both water heaters are past normal life expectancy. They were working at time of inspection, I amunable to determine life remaining.



6.3 MAIN WATER SHUT-OFF DEVICE (Describe location)Inspected

6.4 EXTERIOR FAUCETS AND HYDRANTSComments

(2) The water heaters do not have earthquake straps installed. Standard building practices requireearthquake straps to be installed to properly secure water heaters.
