Significant IssuesSignificant Issues = Items or discoveries indicate that these systems or components may cost significant money tocorrect now or in the near future, or items that require immediate attention to prevent additional damage or eliminatesafety hazards.

1. Roof

1.5 Asphalt Composition ShingleThis asphalt shingle roof may be near the end of it's useful life as indicated by generally loss of shingle dexterity,loss of aggregate, some noted shingle damage, and noted replaced shingles. The typical life expectancy of asphaltshingle roofs in this climate is approximately 20 years, please budget accordingly. Please further consult a licensedroofing contractor for roof replacement options and costs.

2. Attic

2.2 Roof SheathingI noted signs of excessive moisture in the attic as indicated by organic growth build-up on the sheathing.Contributing may be poorly vented bathroom fans (see section 2.6) and/or inadequately attic ventilation (see section2.3). Further consult an attic remediation specialist and/or a roofing contractor for options and costs to correct.

Repair & Maintenance SummaryRepair & Maintenance Issues = Items or discoveries indicate that these systems or components do not function asintended and/or maintenance is required in the near term. Further investigation by a specialist and/or subsequentobservation may be required.

1. Roof

1.0 Roof Structure ExteriorThe roof terminates and the fascia board is left exposed in an area directly over the front porch. I would recommendflashing and/or other means to protect the trim from the elements. These conditions are conducive to wooddestroying organisms.

2. Attic

2.3 Roof Structure VentilationRoof ventilation is provided by gable vents and soffit vents. Roof ventilation may be insufficient as indicated byorganic growth build-up on the roof sheathing. Roof vents or ridge vent(s) were not installed (typical for modern roofinstallations). A minimum of 1 square foot of attic ventilation for every 300 square feet of attic floor space isrecommended. Please further consult a roofing contractor or options and costs to improve attic ventilation.

2.4 Attic ElectricalThis light-can electrical connections are made outside the junction box. Recommend correction by a qualifiedcontractor.

2.5 Attic Thermal EnvelopeI would recommend insulating the attic access hatch.

2.6 Venting Systems (Kitchens, Baths and Laundry)Both bathroom ventilation fan discharges through the roof vent passing through several sections of joined ventilationpiping. I would recommend replacing the vent piping with an insulated single section of piping and discharge throughdedicated vent connectors. Leaking ventilation piping can cause excessive moisture conditions within the attic.

3. Exterior

3.3 General Grounds(2) I would recommend removing this large standing dead tree due to it's proximity to the house structure.

3.5 Porch(1) This decking under the front porch is in direct contact with the soil. This condition is conducive to wooddestroying organisms.

4. Wall Exteriors

4.2 Exterior Wall PenetrationsI would recommend sealing this opening created by the gas main line through the garage wall.

4.3 Wood SidingA loose siding board is noted to the right of the garage doors.



6. Electrical

6.8 Service Panel WiringThis connection is suspect as an undersized wire may have been used for connection to the neutral bus. I wouldrecommend inspection/correction by a licensed electrician.

6.15 GFCI/AFCI Electrical Receptacles(1) GFCI outlets in the garage and both bathrooms were not operational when tested (no power).

(2) Limited ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection of home electrical receptacles was provided in the homeat the time of inspection. Although GFCI protection may not have been required at the time the home was built, theInspector recommends that electrical receptacles located in basements, crawlspaces, garages, the home exterior,and interior receptacles located within 6 feet of a plumbing fixture be provided with ground fault circuit interrupter(GFCI) protection for improved electrical safety.

6.18 Visible Branch WiringThe electrical feed for the furnace should be housed in approved electrical conduit.

7. Garage

7.0 Vehicle Doors1. The right hand garage door (facing from outside) binds when closing and does not fully close

automatically. Adjustment/repairs required.2. Neither door has a photo-senor installed for additional safety, installation recommended.

7.1 Conventional DoorsThe garage door to the living space should be self closing. I would recommend the installation of self-closing hingesor other similar mechanism.

8. Interior

8.4 Doors(1) This bedroom door does not latch.

(2) The dining area sliding door lock is loose.

(3)1. The front door needs new weather-stripping.2. The dead--bolt requires a latching plate.

9. Plumbing

9.4 Gas Water Heater(1)

1. Water heaters shall be anchored or strapped to resist horizontal displacement due to earthquake motion.Strappings shall be at points within the upper one-third and lower one-third of its vertical dimensions. At thelower point, a distance of not less than four (4) inches (102 mm) shall be maintained from the controls tothe strapping.

2. A surge tank is recommended.



10. Heating

10.1 FurnaceThis joint in the exhaust plenum inside the furnace cabinet is leaking. I would recommend repairs and generalservicing by a heating contractor.

11. Bathrooms

11.10 Toilet1. The upstairs toilet is loose on it's pedestal, requiring adjustment to avoid a future leak.2. I would recommend caulking the base of both toilets at the floor.

11.11 ShowerThe downstairs shower control valve does not deliver hot water and has limited motion. I would recommendadjustment by a qualified contractor.

11.12 SinkI would recommend caulking the back-splash(s) on both bathroom sinks.

12. Kitchen and Built-in Appliances

12.10 RangeThe range was not fastened to the floor. A child standing on the open oven door could overturn the range. I wouldrecommends installation of an approved anti-tip device by a qualified contractor.

12.12 DishwasherWater emitted from the air-gap during testing of the dishwasher. I would recommend correction by a qualifiedcontractor.

12.14 SinkPlease note, the cold water was secured to the kitchen sink when tested.

Please note this section is not all-inclusive, please read the complete report.




Future Improvements

1. Roof

1.2 Roof FlashingNo drip edge flashing was installed at the time of the inspection. Lack of drip edge flashings may leave the edges ofroof sheathing and underlayment exposed to the deteriorating effects of weather, with damage from moisture suchas delamination and decay possible. I would recommend further consulting a roofing contractor for options and costto upgrade.

3. Exterior

3.5 Porch(2) I would recommend improving ledger connection (adding ledger lag screws) and adding joist hangers for thedecking joists and stair stringers.

1. RoofThe roof inspection portion of the General Home Inspection will not be as comprehensive as an inspection performed by a qualified roofing contractor.Because of variations in installation requirements of the huge number of different roof-covering materials installed over the years, the General HomeInspection does not include confirmation of proper installation. Home Inspectors are trained to identify common deficiencies and to recognizeconditions that require evaluation by a specialist. Inspection of the roof typically includes visual evaluation of the roof structure, roof-coveringmaterials, flashing, and roof penetrations like chimneys, mounting hardware for roof-mounted equipment, attic ventilation devices, ducts forevaporative coolers, and combustion and plumbing vents. The roof inspection does not include leak-testing and will not certify or warranty the roofagainst future leakage. Other limitations may apply and will be included in the comments as necessary.

A loose siding board is noted tothe right of the garage doors.



5. StructureThe General Home Inspection includes inspection of the home structural elements that were readily visible at the time of the inspection. This mayinclude the: foundation; walls; floor structure; and/or roof structure. Soils vary in their stability and ability to support the weight of a structure. Minorcracking is normal with some common foundation materials, is typically limited to the material surface, is not a structural concern, and may not becommented on. Cracking related to soil/foundation movement indicates the potential for present or future structural concerns and will be commentedon to the best of the inspector's ability.

Much of the home structure is hidden behind exterior and interior roof, floor, wall, and ceiling coverings, or is buried underground. Because theGeneral Home Inspection is limited to visual and non-invasive methods, this report may not identify all structural deficiencies. Identification of portionsof the wall structure not directly visible requires logical assumptions on the part of the Inspector that are based on the Inspectors past experience andknowledge of common building practices.

Upon observing indications that structural problems may exist that are not readily visible, or the evaluation of which lies beyond the Inspector'sexpertise, the inspector may recommend evaluation or testing by a specialist that may include invasive measures, which would require homeownerpermission.

6. ElectricalOver the years, many different types and brands of electrical components have been installed in homes. Electrical components and standards havechanged and continue to change. Homes electrical systems are not required to be updated to meet newly enacted electrical codes or standards. Fulland accurate inspection of electrical systems requires contractor-level experience. For this reason, full inspection of home electrical systems liesbeyond the scope of the General Home Inspection.

The General Home Inspection is limited to identifying common electrical requirements and deficiencies. Conditions indicating the need for a morecomprehensive inspection will be referred to a qualified electrical contractor.Inspection of the home electrical system typically includes visualinspection of the following:service drop: conductors, weatherhead, and service mast; electric meter exterior; service panel and sub-panels; serviceand equipment grounding; system and component bonding; and visible branch wiring: receptacles (representative number), switches, lighting
