Comment Key or Definitions

The following definitions of comment descriptions represent this inspection report. All comments by the inspector should beconsidered before purchasing this home. Any recommendations by the inspector to repair or replace suggests a secondopinion or further inspection by a qualified contractor. All costs associated with further inspection fees and repair orreplacement of item, component or unit should be considered before you purchase the property.

Inspected (IN) = I visually observed the item, component or unit and if no other comments were made then it appeared to befunctioning as intended allowing for normal wear and tear.

Not Inspected (NI)= I did not inspect this item, component or unit and made no representations of whether or not it wasfunctioning as intended and will state a reason for not inspecting.

Not Present (NP) = This item, component or unit is not in this home or building.

Repair or Replace (RR) = The item, component or unit is not functioning as intended, or needs further inspection by aqualified contractor. Items, components or units that can be repaired to satisfactory condition may not need replacement.

Every effort has been made to provide a comprehensive overview of this structure. However, minor details may have beeninadvertently overlooked. We sincerely regret any inconvenience these oversights may cause. The results of the inspectionfindings are as of the date and time of the inspection.

The inspection is not a building code compliant inspection. It may identify items which we feel are not up to current orexisting standards. However, we are not qualified to call them "defective" according to the "building code". The opinion ofthe local building official takes precedence. Building code interpretations must take into consideration the codes in place atthe time the work was completed or when the home was built. You may find that items need further evaluation or repairs andthere may be additional issues found than what was first identified. This is normal as a qualified contractor may need to domore repairs than what was first seen by the inspector. That is why we recommend further evaluation by qualified/licensedcontractors/technicians.

We do not quote repair or replacement costs. We suggest that you obtain pricing/estimates from local contractors or searchweb-sites to obtain "ball-park" repair costs for your buying decisions. An example of a web-site in Ontario iswww.ontariocontractors.com. Prior to closing and purchasing the property, we recommend obtaining estimates fromqualified contractors for items marked in the report as "repair" or "replace". This will provide you with additional informationincluding the cost to have items repaired or replaced.

I Inspect Three60


The home inspector shall observe: Service entrance conductors; Service equipment, grounding equipment, main over current device, and main anddistribution panels; Amperage and voltage ratings of the service; Branch circuit conductors, their over current devices, and the compatibility of theirampacities and voltages; The operation of a representative number of installed ceiling fans, lighting fixtures, switches and receptacles located insidethe house, garage, and on the dwelling's exterior walls; The polarity and grounding of all receptacles within six feet of interior plumbing fixtures, andall receptacles in the garage or carport, and on the exterior of inspected structures; The operation of ground fault circuit interrupters; and Smokedetectors. The home inspector shall describe: Service amperage and voltage; Service entry conductor materials; Service type as being overhead orunderground; and Location of main and distribution panels. The home inspector shall report any observed aluminum branch circuit wiring. The homeinspector shall report on presence or absence of smoke detectors, and operate their test function, if accessible, except when detectors are part of acentral system. The home inspector is not required to: Insert any tool, probe, or testing device inside the panels; Test or operate any over currentdevice except ground fault circuit interrupters; Dismantle any electrical device or control other than to remove the covers of the main and auxiliarydistribution panels; or Observe: Low voltage systems; Security system devices, heat detectors, or carbon monoxide detectors; Telephone, security,cable TV, intercoms, or other ancillary wiring that is not a part of the primary electrical distribution system; or Built-in vacuum equipment.

Note: GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets help reduce the risk of electrical shock. GFCI's detect a change in current between the "hot" and"neutral" wires and "trip" the circuit, shutting off power to the circuit.

Please note, depending on the location or type of installation of pot-lights (e.g. attic space with insulation covering pot-lights), pot-lightshave to be certified to meet these conditions. Typically a standard home inspection cannot verify the product due to finish or insulationcoverage. In these instances, further evaluation by a licensed electrical contractor is recommended.

Please ensure when installing light bulbs (or for existing light bulbs), the light bulbs meet the rating specified by the manufacturer of thelight fixture.

Ensure all panels and sub-panels are properly labelled to help ensure safety/proper use. Ensure all outlets and switches have a properplate cover installed to help ensure safety.

Carbon Monoxide:

- Have a qualified technician install and regularly inspect all fuel burning appliances.

- Regularly inspect fireplaces and chimneys to insure proper ventilation.

- Never use a gas or charcoal barbecue indoors.

- Never start a car or gas powered machinery in a closed garage.

- Install carbon monoxide detectors in your home (install carbon monoxide detectors on each level of a house where sleeping occurs, and in as manylocations as necessary to insure the carbon monoxide alarm is audible in every bedroom when the doors are closed.

- Check with your local town office and manufacturer specifications for installation/location rules.

Ontario Fire Code: "When are CO alarms required to be installed within a house?"

If the house contains a fuel burning appliance, fireplace or an attached garage, a CO alarm is required to be installed adjacent to each sleeping areain the house.

For optimum protection, it is recommended that additional CO alarm(s) be installed in other levels and/or areas of the home that are in proximity to aCO source, subject to the distance limits provided in the product’s instruction manual.

[Div. B, 2.16.2.1.]

Ontario Fire Code: "What does “adjacent to each sleeping area” mean in terms of installation location?"

In general, this phrase means the hallway serving or area outside the sleeping area. For instance, a CO alarm must be installed in the hallwayadjacent to multiple bedrooms in a house or apartment.

However, there may be situations where “adjacent to each sleeping area” refers to the area around the bed, within the bedroom or sleeping areaitself.

[Div. B, 2.16.2.1.]

Smoke Detectors:

- Insure smoke detectors are installed per local policies, and based on manufacturer specifications (e.g. replace detectors older than 8 years).

- Test all smoke detectors upon moving in and monthly thereafter.

- The Ontario Fire Code requires all homes to have properly maintained and operating smoke alarms on every level and outside all sleepingareas.

- For maximum protection, install one in every room. To help ensure safety, ensure smoke detectors are "hard wired" with a batterybackup.

- Consult with your local fire department for additional safety recommendations including fire safety, fire escape plans/egress, etc.

I Inspect Three60


Electrical System Maintenance:

- An example of warning signs that tell you there may be a problem with the wiring includes: flickering lights; breakers that always trip; fuses thatalways blow; a burning smell coming from appliances or in rooms, and discoloured wall outlets.

- Electrical currents generate waste heat. Over time that heat can cause the conductor to expand and contract. Eventually it will loosen theconnection, which can cause an "arc". This creates a risk of an electrical fire.

- Counterfeit electrical products can also cause electrical fires. In many cases, the only way to know that they are counterfeit is to send them to a lab.

- Overloaded circuits are also at risk.

- When purchasing a home (e.g. older than 15 years old), source a licensed electrical contractor to check out the electrical system to ensure thesystem is up to code and all connections are "tight".

- It is recommended to have the electrical system in your home evaluated by a licensed electrical contractor every 4 years. Be safe!

Electrical installations in the Attic are not accessible due to insulation cover.

Please note, electrical defects are considered a safety hazard until repaired. Items recommended for repair should be further evaluatedand repaired or replaced by qualified, licensed and insured electrical contractors.

Preventative Maintenance Note - Supply Hoses: It is recommended to replace rubber, plastic and vinyl supply hoses with an alternate product(e.g. braided steel hoses) to help reduce the risk of leaking. For example, washer rubber supply hoses should not pressurized when not in use, andreplaced every 5 years. Plastic and vinyl hoses are sometimes used to supply water to sinks, humidifiers and refrigerators. Consult a qualifiedplumber.

Preventative Maintenance Note - Shower and Sink Fixtures: It is recommended to ensure shower and sink fixtures are properly sealed to helpreduce the risk of water intrusion and microbial activity. Monitor caulking and seals regularly.

Preventative Maintenance Note - PEX Plumbing: Some Pex products have been know to have issues, including corrosion/leaking at fittings (e.g.Kitec, Zurn). It is recommended to have the Pex system monitored regularly by a qualified plumber.

Limited Scope Note: Shut-off valves including the main water meter shut-off, water supply shut-offs (e.g. supply shut-offs to the exterior faucets,sink faucets and toilets), main gas meter shut-off and gas supply shut-offs, are not tested during the inspection due to possibility of leaking anddamage as a result of testing these items. It is recommended to have these systems tested with the Seller prior to "closing" or "taking possession ofthe property".

Potential Risk Note: Shower faucets with a hose attachment that can sit in standing water (e.g. tub or shower base) can contribute to contaminationto the public supply system, if there is a reverse pressure. It is recommended that these be removed or properly installed.

Potential Risk Note: Gas lines and connections can leak at any time (e.g. loose gas line, poor fitting, movement). It is recommended to have thegas lines and gas burning appliances assessed and serviced on a regular basis, by qualified, licensed and insured technicians (e.g. gas technician,HVAC technician).

Items recommended for repair or replacement should be further evaluated and repaired or replaced by qualified, licensed and insuredplumbers/technicians.

The plumbing in the home was inspected and reported on with the above information. While the inspector makes every effort to find all areas ofconcern, some areas can go unnoticed. Washing machine drain line for example cannot be checked for leaks or the ability to handle the volumeduring drain cycle. Older homes with galvanized supply lines or cast iron drain lines can be obstructed and barely working during an inspection butthen fails under heavy use. If the water is turned off or not used for periods of time (like a vacant home waiting for closing) rust or deposits within thepipes can further clog the piping system. Please be aware that the inspector has your best interest in mind. Any repair items mentioned in this reportshould be considered before purchase.
