The roof covering head exposed nails in one or more areas. Recommend a qualified contractor evaluate to seal the nail head openings or make general repairs or replacement as necessary.
Gutters were full of debris or granules in areas and need to be cleaned. The debris in gutters can clog drainage, or be a sign gutters are sloped improperly – Either of which may cause problems by overflowing to introduce excessive amounts of moisture to the soil beneath the foundation. Excessive moisture in soil supporting the foundation can affect its ability to support the weight of the structure above and may cause foundation damage from soil movement.
Debris in gutters can also conceal rust, deterioration or leaks that are not visible until cleaned.
A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary and according to current standards.
Signs of previous water penetration or intrusion into the attic. Water marks or stains were observed. Recommend asking seller if there’s any recent incidents that have been documented or mitigated.
Further evaluation is recommended.
No ventilation was observed at the time of the inspection.
Recommend a qualified contractor evaluate to ensure any attic ventilation is unobstructed and fully functional and/or install additional ventilation as needed.
It Wasp nest is present at the time of inspection. Recommend removing by qualified contractor.
The tested GFCI would not reset. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary and according to current standards.
One or more electrical outlet(s) were wired incorrectly with the hot and neutral wires being reversed. While the outlet still provides power to electronic equipment, a shock hazard has been created as there is still electricity running through the hot wire when the switch is off. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary according to current standards.
A window had cracked glass or cracked windowpane.
A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary and according to current standards.
Large trees near the house have branches which overhang the property. Falling branches due to conditions such as wood decay, high winds or heavy snow loads may cause injury, death or damage. Significant weakening of large branches by conditions such as core decay may not be visible by persons without special training. Consider having these trees evaluated by a qualified arborist. Evaluating trees lies beyond the scope of the general property inspection.
Recommend a qualified contractor evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The foundation had vertical cracks in areas. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair as necessary before your inspection objection deadline.
The exterior foundation wall had signs of repair. Recommend inquiring with the current sellers for more information. Recommend further evaluation by a qualified contractor if the quality of work is poor.
The interior walls showed evidence that moisture was entering from behind possibly including damage and deterioration. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
One or more electrical outlets were not grounded. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The inspector observed many two-prong outlets throughout the property. These are outdated outlets that should be upgraded to three-prong outlets with proper grounds. A qualified contractor should evaluate then repair or replace as advised.
Carbon monoxide detectors were not installed within a specified distance of each room lawfully used for sleeping purposes. The inspector recommends installation of carbon monoxide detectors in appropriate locations. Colorado House bill 1091 became effective on July 1, 2009 that requires Carbon Monoxide detectors to be installed in most properties that has a fuel-burning heater or appliance, a fireplace, or an attached garage.
There are no carbon monoxide detectors on the lower or upper level.
The smoke detector was missing. A qualified person should replace as needed. The existing smoke detectors were tested if present, but they are only noted as to presence and operation as of date of inspection. Smoke detectors may work today but not work when you need them to work. This is why it is important for you to test them on a regular basis, monthly at least. Smoke detectors are recommended by the U.S. Product Safety Commission to be installed inside each bedroom and adjoining hallway and on each living level of the property and basement level.
The walls showed signs of minor damage and wear. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
There was not a range hood vent installed in the kitchen at the time of inspection. A kitchen exhaust fan is recommended to remove grease, smoke, and fumes that are present in the air when cooking in your oven or on your stovetop.
Recommend a qualified contractor evaluate and install kitchen exhaust as necessary.
The door would not latch when closed, and may need adjustment at the strike plate to latch properly. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
A GFCI outlet was defective (did not trip when tested). A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The hot water in the shower did not get over 100 degrees whereas the nearby faucets did. This may indicate that either the mixing valve (safety feature to limit potential scalding) or control cartridge needs adjustment to achieve a hot shower. There may be a more significant issue, that only further evaluation can reveal.
Hot and cold supply was installed correctly and the property’s overall hot water temperature was within an acceptable range.
Recommend a qualified contractor evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The property water supply pressure was measured at the exterior faucet or laundry hose bib. Property water supply pressure was lower than the 40 pounds per square inch (PSI), which is considered inadequate by generally-accepted current standards.
A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary and according to current standards.
The main distribution panel the property was padlock close the time of inspection. Recommend a qualified contractor evaluate and unlock as needed.
The water heater was at or beyond its warranty and/or expected life expectancy.
The water heater age was determined by the photo included in this report. According to the U.S. Department of energy, these major appliances are intended to run for between 8 and 12 years. Be advised that every water heater will age differently relative to the following life span factors: water quality, mineral buildup, frequency of flushing, the volume of water utilized, size of the tank, brand, and quality of water heater. Although it was operating at the time of the inspection, the inspector can not determine the remaining life of the water heater.
The water heater shut off valve was difficult to access at the time of inspection. If it is behind flue pipes it should be noted that the possibility of getting burned by the flue pipe is significant. Recommend a qualified contractor evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The water heating equipment had a cold water supply shutoff valve installed. The shut-off valve was missing a knob/lever. The valve was not operated during the inspection. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
There was no shut off valve installed on the water heater supply line. This means to replace the water heater the water would need to be turned off to the whole house. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The temperature pressure relief valve was missing a pipe at the time of inspection. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
Based on the age of the heating system it is recommended that it be cleaned and serviced and certified (if possible) by an HVAC professional.
Due to the year of manufacture, the heating system is assumed to be near the end of its expected service life. Regular maintenance and monitoring of its condition is recommended. Budgeting for repairs and future replacement is recommended. A qualified contractor should evaluate to clean, service/repair/replace as necessary, and certify the unit if possible.

The combustion air supply for this appliance was not present. A qualified contractor should evaluate and make necessary corrections according to current standards.
Fresh air supply is recommended by manufacturers for efficient operation of fuel burning appliances. Years ago, the air could come from inside or outside the building, however, more recent standards prefer for combustion air to come from the outside only.
The HVAC system air filter was missing. This condition reflects a lack of regular maintenance of the HVAC system. Clogged filters can restrict air flow and increase internal temperatures. A clean air filter will help increase the efficiency and prolong the life expectancy of the heating and cooling system. Due to the damage that can be caused by dirty or clogged coils, recommend replacing filter, as well as cleaning, servicing and evaluating of the HVAC system by a qualified HVAC professional and repair or replace as necessary.
