Minor cracking was visible on the walkway(s) in areas. Monitoring is the minimum recommendation. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary and according to current standards.
The outside water faucet had a significant leak from the knob/handle when the water pressure gauge was attached. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary and according to current standards.
Cracked or split boards were present at the deck. Â This condition is a structural defect and potential safety hazard.
A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
Flashing was missing at the ledger board. This flashing problem may allow water to enter into the wall cavity or building components. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
Downspout(s) are missing the proper 6 ft. extensions. This condition may cause problems by introducing excessive amounts of moisture to the soil beneath the foundation. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary and according to current standards.
The interior ceilings have signs of repairs. Recommend asking the current homeowner for more information. Recommend further evaluation from a qualified contractor should the repairs be excessive or of visibly poor quality.
The floor had a noticeable hump or rise. Â A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The door had missing or damaged floor guides. Â A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
An interior door rubs on the flooring when opening or closing. Recommend a qualified contractor evaluate and repair or replace as needed.
The light fixture had exposed splices or electrical conductors. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The sink drain line had a flex pipe used as part of the drain line. Flexible drain lines can smell, clog, leak or fail. Flex lines design includes multiple folds in which moisture may become trapped and mold may grow. Â A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
Sewage vent cap missing and can cause unwanted smells into the kitchen. Recommend a qualified contractor for reevaluation or repair as necessary.
The dishwasher drain line came out from a low location and did not discharge into a higher drain pipe. Dishwasher drain lines require a “high loop” in the line in order to drain properly. A “high loop” may have been hidden behind the appliance itself. The high loop in the drain hose is to keep water from settling in the hose to prevent any odors from backing up into the dishwasher. Food or debris may become stuck in the line and smell or mold if not corrected. Recommend a qualified contractor evaluate and repair or replace as needed.
The exhaust fan seems weak and may not adequately move smoke in the event of a flare up. Recommend a qualified contractor evaluate further and repair or replace as needed.
The laundry room did not have an exhaust fan or an openable window. A qualified contractor should evaluate, then repair or replace as advised.
Gas leakage was detected at exposed gas piping connection. The gas supply piping included a shutoff valve in the vicinity of the heater for service personnel and emergency use. The valve was not operated as part of the inspection. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
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 bulb was not working at the time of inspection. Recommend a qualified contractor evaluate and replace the bulb or make necessary repairs to the fixture/switch.
The door was missing. Â A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
Flexible drain lines can clog, leak or fail. Flex lines design includes multiple folds in which moisture may become trapped and mold may grow. Â 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. Â 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.

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 temperature pressure relief valve was missing a pipe at the time of inspection. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The water temperature was below the suggested range of 120-130 degrees. Recommend adjusting the water heater thermostat first. If water does not reach the acceptable range then a qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
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.
There were not passive vents installed for the crawlspace at the time of inspection. If a crawlspace is not a conditioned air space, it is recommended to have passive vents in order to maintain satisfactory heat and humidity levels.
