Report Summary:

Inspector Comments/Recommendations: Two story duplex in mostly good overall shape, but various repairs needed, see report for details.

Scope of Inspection Survey: Integrity Home Inspections, Inc. strives to provide the most complete and comprehensive inspection survey available today. Our findings, however, are limited to only those areas readily accessible and visible to the inspector during the inspection survey. Integrity Home Inspections performs our inspections according to the State of Oregon Standards of Practice. It is the client's responsibility to read the entire Inspection Report and contact the inspector for clarification of any and all questions.

Limitations of Liability: INTEGRITY HOME INSPECTIONS, INC. LIMITS IT'S LIABILITY TO THE FEE PAID. The lack of mention of specific problems does not mean that such problems do not exist. It means that by using normal visual techniques, none was discovered at the time. This is not a code of compliance report. The inspection survey report does not include lifting carpet, moving furniture, or removal or dismantling of any systems throughout the structure. Only readily accessible and visible areas will be inspected. Integrity Home Inspections, Inc. makes no warranties either expressed or implied of the safety, condition, value serviceability, or any other aspect of the structure components inspected in this or any other report. We Recommend that re-inspections be performed after repairs have been completed; there is a nominal charge and the client is required to schedule re-inspections with integrity. This is not a home warranty - your real estate professional has information concerning quality home warranties which you can purchase. This report does no include environmental testing of hazardous material identification, such as but not limited to asbestos, lead, radon gas, heating oil tank leaks, etc. THIS REPORT IS INTENDED ONLY FOR THE USE OF THE PERSON PURCHASING THE HOME INSPECTION SERVICES. NO OTHER PERSON, INCLUDING A PURCHASER OF THE INSPECTED PROPERTY WHO DID NOT PURCHASE THE HOME INSPECTION SERVICES, MAY RELY UPON ANY REPRESENTATION MADE IN THE REPORT.
