Recommend a qualified contractor evaluate and repair or replace as needed.
Recommend a qualified contractor evaluate and repair or replace as needed.
Recommend a qualified contractor evaluate and repair or replace as needed.
The screen door was damaged or deteriorated at the time of inspection.
A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary and according to current standards.
The sliding glass or screen door did not operate properly. The door(s) were operated and did not slide smoothly on the track and/or close using normal operating force.
A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary and according to current standards.
The walkway(s) were deteriorated or was eroded in areas. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary and according to current standards.
The back right corner of the barn had negative grading. This condition could allow moisture to enter into the barn. Recommend having a qualified contractor evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The wood frame area around the skylights had moisture stains. Recommend having a qualified contractor evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The faucet inside the barn when the handle was in the “up” position with a pressure gauge attached. Recommend having a qualified contractor evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair as necessary.
The vertical distance between the photo-eye beam and the floor should be no more than 6 inches.
GFCI protection is required for all 15- and 20-amp receptacles in a garage, including outlets for refrigerators, sprinkler systems, garage door openers, and washing machines – some items may not be protected on purpose due to the potential for them to go unnoticed and cause damage. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The ceilings showed signs of minor damage and wear. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The ceiling fan was noisy when on. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The visible areas of the firebox and chimney flue were dirty at the time of the inspection. Most of the chimney flue was inaccessible and was not inspected. Dirty flues are potential fire hazards and should be cleaned by a professional. Recommend having the chimney evaluated by a C.S.I. (Chimney Safety Institute) -qualified chimney sweep.
1. Replacing the current standard outlets with GFCI outlets.
2. Replacing the first circuit outlet located closest to the main electrical service panel with the GFCI outlet
3. Replacing the breaker currently protecting the electrical circuit that contains these outlets with the GFCI breaker.
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.
The sink faucet leaked. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
Recommend a qualified contractor evaluate and install kitchen exhaust 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.
An electrical outlet was wired to a light fixture and is not separate. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The finish on the faucet is damaged. 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 tile on the wall or backsplash had missing or damaged grout. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
Tiles on the wall in the bath/shower area had missing or damaged grout. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The tile floor had missing or damaged grout. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The window appeared to have a broken seal that has been compromised. Condensation and/or cloudiness between the two panes of glass was 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.
The sink was cracked or damaged. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The toilet had inadequate clearance. There should be 21 inches of clearance in front of the toilet and 15 inches of clearance measured from the center of the toilet to the sides. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
A control valve at the sink was leaking during operation at the time of inspection.
A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The property water supply pressure 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 is likely to cause leaks.
A qualified contractor should install a pressure regulator or evaluate and repair or replace one 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.
Gaps were present at the electrical panel were the cover was protruding outwards from the panel. An object or finger could fit through the gap and create a shock hazard. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair and replace as necessary.
Some or all circuit breakers were a brand different from the main panel brand. Circuit breakers made by different manufacturers vary in design, therefore panel manufacturers require their own manufactured breakers to be used. Select brands are interchangeable, and there are some “semi” universal breaker types or panel types.
Using incompatible breakers in the panel of another manufacturer may result in poor connections which can create a potential fire or shock/electrocution hazard. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
Unused circuit-breaker panel opening was missing filler plate. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair and replace as necessary.
Screws / fasteners were missing at the electrical panel cover. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.

Using incompatible breakers in the panel of another manufacturer may result in poor connections which can create a potential fire or shock/electrocution hazard. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
One or more circuit breakers have two wires that are connected to a breaker designed for only one wire. This is known as a “double-tap” and is a defective condition. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The temperature pressure relief valve was leaking at the time of inspection. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
Exposed electrical conductor splices need to be installed inside a junction box with cover plate. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
