Home Inspection E 7th Ave Unit 1 Denver CO

Visible signs of water intrusion in the attic are present on rafters, trusses, or the roof decking. Water intrusion can lead to more costly repairs and increase damage if not corrected. The extent of intrusion or how often it occurs could not be determined. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.

The garage door paneling was dented, corroded, or damaged and should be further evaluated by a qualified contractor to repair or replace it as needed.

The door had a damaged or missing doorstop.  A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.

The sealant was damaged and deteriorated around the window. Recommend a qualified contractor to repair or replace as necessary.

One or more light bulbs were not working at the time of inspection. Recommend a qualified contractor to evaluate and repair or replace as needed.

The smoke detector was not secured properly to the ceiling/wall. A qualified person should repair or replace as needed. The existing smoke detectors were tested if present, but they are only noted as to presence and operation as of the 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 window appeared to have a broken seal that has been compromised.  Condensation and/or cloudiness between the two panes of glass were observed.  This will have a negative impact on energy efficiency.  Also, because there is moisture between the panes with no ventilation, mold can eventually develop.  A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.

A fixture or bulb was not responding to switches at the time of inspection. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.

The sink sprayer was not properly weighted and did not return to the sink on its own. The sprayer hose had to be manually fed back down into the sink/counter area. Recommend a qualified contractor to evaluate and repair or replace as needed.

The microwave light was not working.  A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.

The bathroom exhaust fan was very dirty and possibly clogged.  A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.

The door had a damaged or missing doorstop.  A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.

Caulking at the bathroom counter area was a poor installation, or had areas in poor condition and needs a touch-up. Recommend a qualified contractor to evaluate and repair or replace as needed

The condensation drain components for the HVAC system were leaking or showing signs of the previous leaking. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.

The HVAC system air filter was very dirty or clogged. This condition reflects a lack of regular maintenance of the HVAC system. Clogged filters can restrict airflow 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 the filter, as well as cleaning, servicing, and evaluating the HVAC system by a qualified HVAC professional and repair or replace as necessary.

The exhaust fan appeared to be noisy at startup.

The manufacturing label on the system was worn out and illegible. This is an indication of old age or prolonged exposure to harsh elements. Recommend a qualified contractor further evaluate and repair or replace.

The cooling unit shut-off was obstructed or otherwise not accessible at the time of inspection. Recommend a qualified contractor evaluate and clear or modify the location as needed.
