The photo-electric reverse sensors are installed too high from the garage floor surface.
The vertical distance between the photo-eye beam and the floor should be no more than 6 inches.
A light fixture was missing a cover at the time of inspection. Recommend a qualified contractor to evaluate and repair or replace as needed.
The drywall wall, ceiling, and/or trim were not finished properly. This may be one or more of the following: loose sections, missing pieces, missing caulking and/or paint, or poor application of any of the wall, ceiling, or finishing components. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
There appeared to be some damage to the interior flooring in areas. Recommend a qualified contractor to evaluate and repair or replace as needed.
The window had a cracked or broken glass pane. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
At the interior stairs, the handrail was missing or damaged. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
An exterior light fixture or light was missing its cover. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary according to current standards.
Window well(s) were rusted or corroded in areas. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary and according to current standards.
The countertop needs caulking with silicone along the backsplash. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The cabinet hinge was loose and not securely fastened. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The tub spout and or control lever cover plate was missing silicone caulking. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The drain stop did not work or did not hold water in the sink. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The tub/shower area had deteriorated or missing sealant (caulking or grout) at the corners and/or floor. Sealant is needed at wall corners inside the shower, corners from tub to wall, and along the floor perimeter. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The property water supply pressure is measured at the exterior faucet or laundry appliance hose bib. Property water supply pressure exceeded the 80 pounds per square inch (PSI) limit considered the maximum allowable by generally accepted current standards. Excessively high water pressure can stress connections in the plumbing system and appliances are likely to cause leaks.
A qualified contractor should install a pressure regulator or evaluate and repair or replace one as necessary.
The air-conditioner refrigerant suction line (large, insulated) has damaged or missing insulation in areas. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair/replace as necessary.
The exterior compressor unit was not level. Over time, this may result in noisy fan operation, damage to the fan bearings, and a shortened fan lifespan, or it may result in movement of the compressor housing which can cause leaks in refrigerant lines resulting in expensive service. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary and according to current standards.
Efflorescence (white powdery substance) on the wall indicates moisture is in contact with the concrete or masonry. This does not necessarily indicate that intrusion will occur. I recommend checking the gutters and the downspout drain lines for proper operation. Also, waterproofing paint could be applied to the interior side of the wall if necessary. Efflorescence is found on many properties without water intrusion occurring inside the property. But, it should alert you to the possibility that future steps may be needed. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair as necessary.
