The roof covering material had minor damage in some areas. A qualified contractor should evaluate, then repair or replace as advised prior to the inspection objection deadline.
The insulation had been walked on or had stored items compressing it, which reduces the R-value.
Recommend a qualified contractor evaluate and repair or replace as needed.
The exterior stone veneer was loose in the front of the home. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary and according to current standards.
Recommend a qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary and according to current standards.
The locking hardware is damaged or not installed properly and the door isn’t able to be locked. Recommend a qualified contractor evaluate and repair or replace as needed.
A window had cracked glass or cracked windowpane.
A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary and according to current standards.
The walkway(s) showed signs of heaving and/or settling in areas. Heaving is often caused by soil that has expanded in volume due to increased moisture content, or by wet soil which has expanded as it became frozen. Settlement is when the soil below a concrete slab is loose or it can no longer support the weight causing it to sink or crack.
- This causes cracks in the concrete.
- This creates trip hazards that could result in injury.
A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary and according to current standards.
Downspout(s) need to have extensions reconnected. This condition may cause problems by introducing 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. When moisture is introduced to the foundation it could also cause possible mold growth. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary and according to current standards.
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.
Accent trim was damaged at areas of the interior walls at the time of inspection.
Recommend a qualified contractor evaluate and repair or replace as needed.
The plank flooring was warped or buckling indicating moisture absorption. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The window did not lock properly. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
Some windows had damaged or missing screens. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
One or more light bulbs were not working at the time of inspection. Recommend a qualified contractor evaluate and repair or replace as needed.
The ceiling fan did not respond to any switches or the available remote. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The ceiling fan had a missing or damaged chain. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The ceiling fan wobbles when operated and may need to be balanced. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
At the interior stairs, the handrail was loose. A fall or injury could occur if not corrected. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
A locking ring on the bar plumbing drain was missing. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The glass at the fireplace had a cloudy appearance. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The food waste disposer had a damaged or missing rubber flange/gasket. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The dishwasher was loud and noisy when operating. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
An outlet did not provide Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection. Although GFCI protection of circuits may not have been required at the time in which this home was built, safe building practices have improved with the passage of time and building standards have changed to reflect current understanding. The inspector recommends updating the existing electrical circuits to include GFCI protection. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The toilet leaked from the tank into the bowl, causing the toilet to refill repeatedly. This is most likely caused by the flapper valve not sealing the tank completely when closed. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The tub/shower drain line was clogged or drains slowly. 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 wood flooring was warped or buckling indicating moisture absorption. 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 circuit labels were missing, partial, or illegible at the electrical distribution panel. The circuit labels provide information describing the locations each individual circuit breaker provides power too.
Recommend a qualified contractor verify the breakers and accuracy of any existing labeling as necessary.
The HVAC system air filter was dirty. 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 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 heating system did fire and appeared to be in serviceable condition at the time of the inspection. However, the interior of the cabinet was dirty. Cleaning, servicing and/or certification of the HVAC system by a qualified contractor is recommended and repaired or replaced 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.
The disconnect was located in the electrical panel and within line of sight but did not have the proper label indicating the correct breaker. Recommend a qualified contractor evaluate and repair or replace as needed.
