4 Page 3 of 25 Lots and Grounds Our exterior evaluation is visual in nature and is based on our experience and understanding of common building methods and materials. Our review does not take into consideration the normal wear associated with virtually all properties. Exterior surfaces should be kept well painted, stained or sealed to prevent deterioration. Grading & adjacent surfaces should be maintained and pitched away from the foundation to reduce the chances of water infiltration. 1. Driveway: Asphalt Cracking and surface deterioration observed, recommend regular maintenance and repairs to prolong the useful life of the surface Walks: Stone, Brick Steps: Wood Deck: Wood Loose and uneven planks observed in sun deck area. Corrections are needed to ensure safety. Deck sags in this area and may require additional bracing. Support bracing has deteriorated and has separated at connection points allowing deck to shift. Rusty Galvanized hangers observed; recommend further review by a qualified contractor for repairs as needed. 6. Lot/Grade Minor slope Timer Brand Orbit Appears functional Zones Timed 1 through 9 Zones 1-4 (front yard) had very low water flow and 5-9 (back yard) did not respond when tested.

Door Bell: Hard wired Entry Doors: Metal, French Tiles pulled loose under French doors; recommend repairs. Exterior doors at rear of home have significant rot at bottom corners; replacement needed Windows: Thermo pane Window Screens: Vinyl mesh Exterior Lighting: Corner Flood Lights, Surface mount Ceiling fan at screen porch defective; repairs needed Exterior Electric Outlets: 110 VAC GFCI Electric Meter Exterior Right Hose Bibs: Gate

6 Page 5 of 25 Structure Our exterior evaluation is visual in nature and is based on our experience and understanding of common building methods and materials. Our review does not take into consideration the normal wear associated with virtually all properties. Exterior surfaces should be kept well painted, stained or sealed to prevent deterioration. Grading & adjacent surfaces should be maintained and pitched away from the foundation to reduce the chances of water infiltration Structure Type: Wood frame Foundation: Poured slab Differential Movement: No movement or displacement noted Bearing Walls: Frame Floor/Slab: Poured slab Roof Our evaluation of the roof is to determine if surface areas are missing and/or damaged and therefore subject to possible leaking. Portions of the roof, including underlayment, decking and some flashing are hidden from view and cannot be evaluated by our visual inspection; therefore, our review is not a guarantee against roof leaks or a certification. Some areas are not visible when we are unable to mount the roof due to weather conditions, height, pitch, etc. Areas most vulnerable to leaks are low slope areas, areas pitched toward walls, through-roof projections (chimneys, vents, skylights, etc.) roof slopes that change pitch or direction, and intersecting roof/wall lines. Flashing and shingle defects can cause hidden leaks and deterioration and should be immediately addressed. We advise qualified contractor estimates and review of the full roof system when defects are reported. Factors such as shingle quality, weather, ventilation, and installation methods can affect wear rate. As maintenance can be needed at any time, roofs should be professionally inspected annually. Main Roof Surface 1. Method of Inspection: On roof 2. Unable to Inspect: 40% Material: Asphalt shingle Roofing materials show extensive wear and deterioration and may be at the end of their useful life. A licensed roofer should be consulted for further review prior to closing for repairs/replacement as required. Many insurance companies inspect roofs prior to agreeing to provide coverage. We recommend that you arrange any such inspection prior to closing to help assure a smooth transition between old and new insurers. 4. Type: Gable Approximate Age: 15 years 6. Flashing: Galvanized, Lead Valleys: Fiberglass shingle Plumbing Vents: PVC

7 Page 6 of 25 Attic Our evaluation of the attic is limited to lighting, personal storage and accessibility. If an attic is heavily insulated, the inspector will have a difficult time accessing and reviewing ceiling joists, electrical wiring, plumbing, ducting, etc. Water stains around roof penetrations such as chimneys, plumbing, and vents are very common. It is usually impractical to determine if these stains are active unless they are leaking at the time of inspection thus when stains are present further monitoring is advised. Viewing during a rainstorm would increase the chances of determining whether leaks exist or the current status of staining. Older roofs are, of course, more prone to water infiltration but new roofs can develop leaks as well. Regular monitoring and maintenance of all roofs is advised. We suggest checking roof surfaces each spring and fall and after each severe storm. Increasing insulation in the attic is one of the best ways to improve the energy efficiency of a home and to reduce the costs of heating and cooling. Most homes we view can benefit from additional insulation. The Dept. of Energy web site ( can help you to determine recommended upgrades and the payback period for insulation improvements in your geographical area. Main Attic 1. Method of Inspection: In the attic 2. Unable to Inspect: 20% Roof Framing: 2x6 Rafter, 2x4 Truss 4. Sheathing: Plywood Moisture stains and deterioration observed around chimney stains observed at front right and left side of decking. A qualified roofing contractor is recommended to make repairs as needed to ensure roof is leak free Ventilation: Ridge Vents, Gable Vents Insulation: Batts Insulation Depth: 3" Recommend additional insulation be installed. Attic Fan: Thermostat controlled Inoperative at time of inspection; repairs needed. Wiring/Lighting: 110 VAC lighting circuit Improperly terminated wiring observed; recommend having a electrician make corrections. 10. Moisture Penetration: Ongoing water penetration noted. Moisture damage present in roof decking above garage; damaged and buckled. Recommend having a license roofer make needed repairs.

8 Page 7 of 25 Garage/Carport Our garage/carport evaluation is visual in nature and is based on our experience and understanding of common building methods and materials. Our review does not take into consideration the normal wear associated with virtually all properties. Exterior surfaces should be kept well painted, stained or sealed to prevent deterioration. Garage floors should not be covered with carpet, cardboard, wood or other combustible materials and, of course, flammable products should be properly stored. It is recommended all garage door openers be equipped with a regularly tested safety reverse device to reduce chances of injury. Attached garages should be separated from the house by a steel or solid wood door, and common walls should have a fully sealed fire resistant covering such as drywall to protect against fume entry and to slow the migration of smoke or fire from entering the house in the event of a garage fire. Mounting a self-closer on the door between the garage and the house is an additional suggested safety upgrade. We suggest you keep attic hatches closed, repair any holes or damage that exist or occur, and avoid creating openings between the home and garage. It is especially important to keep garage wall and ceiling areas directly beneath living space intact. Side Garage 1. Type of Structure: Attached Car Spaces: 2 2. Garage Doors: Metal Door Operation: Mechanized 4. Door Opener: Genie Slide connection to door damaged on right door; repairs needed. Fire Door: Wood 6. Fire Barrier Drywall Ceiling: Drywall Stains observed on ceiling. An elevated level of moisture was detected using an electronic moisture meter. A qualified contractor is needed for further review and to perform necessary corrections. Stains observed on ceiling. Peeling drywall tape seams observed, appears to be primarily a cosmetic concern. Suggest repairs as needed. Walls: Paneled The inspector probed stains with a moisture detector, which showed no moisture present at time of inspection. Client is advised to consult seller to determine the source of staining and verify that corrections have been made Electrical: 110 VAC Non-GFCI circuit -recommend GFCI circuit be installed Floor/Slab Concrete Windows: Single Pane Fog and condensation was noted in the double glazed insulated window panes at family room. This indicates a broken seal which will reduce visibility and the insulating capability of this window. To restore visibility and regain the insulating capability, replacement of this window pane is required. Electrical Our electrical inspection meets the ASHI standards of practice and is done by sampling visibly accessible wiring and fixtures. Determining the actual capacity of the system requires load calculations, which are not within the scope of this report. Underground circuits and concealed components of the system are not inspected. While age is one factor, most homes have electrical issues created by amateur electricians. We do not move belongings and do not examine every fixture, outlet, wiring run, etc., nor do we remove insulation, or wall coverings. Covers are not removed, with the exception of the cover of the main electrical panel, when this can be done safely and without risking damage to finish. Much of the wiring in the home is not visible and not reviewed. Once the current occupant's belongings have been removed, it's a good idea to check all outlets with a tester and to look inside cabinets, closets and other obstructed areas

9 Page 8 of 25 Electrical (Continued) before moving in your own belongings. We use a standard electrical tester to check a sample of outlets. While the tester is generally reliable, it can be fooled by certain improper wiring practices, which we cannot detect during a general home inspection. Because electrical defects are safety concerns, we advise the use of a qualified licensed electrician for cost estimates, repairs and upgrades, prior to close. 1. Service Size Amps: 200 Volts: VAC 2.

Yes No Laundry Room/Area The supply hoses to the washer are not disconnected during the inspection, nor are the valves operated. These can leak at any time and should be considered a part of normal maintenance. If the washer and dryer are present, they are not moved to prevent floor damage and the review of the area behind the washer/dryer is limited. It is beyond the scope of the inspection to inspect the washer and dryer. If these appliances are included in the sale of the property, we suggest consulting the sellers as to proper operation prior to close. We suggest that you clean exhaust pipes upon occupancy and then regularly to enhance safety/performance. Water hoses that discharge into laundry tubs can cause contamination by creating a "cross connection" if they discharge below the tub rim. We suggest you keep these elevated above the flood rim of the tub. Adjacent to garage Laundry Room/Area 1. Ceiling: Acoustic Spray 2. Walls: Paneled Floor: Ceramic tile 4. Windows: Thermo pane Fog and condensation was noted in the double glazed insulated window panes at family room. This indicates a broken seal which will reduce visibility and the insulating capability of this window. To restore visibility and regain the insulating capability, replacement of this window pane is required. 6. Electrical: 110 VAC HVAC Source:

This was a visible inspection of this area only. No Dryer was present at the time of inspection; therefore, no test was performed. This was a visible inspection of this area only. Washer Drain: Wall mounted drain Dryer Vent: Metal flex Plumbing Our focus in the plumbing portion of the inspection is directed at identifying visible water damage and/or problems. We may not always mention common faults such as stuck stoppers or dripping faucets. If considered important, you should check these items independently. Shut-off valves and angle stops under the kitchen or bathroom sinks and toilets are not turned or tested during the inspection due to the possibility of leaking. All shut-off valves or angle stops should be turned regularly to ensure free movement in case of emergency. The water supply system was tested for its ability to deliver functional water pressure to installed plumbing fixtures and the condition of connected piping that was visible. Our plumbing inspection also consists of checking for functional drainage at all fixtures. We suggest you obtain the maintenance history for the home's plumbing and obtain receipts for any recent work or for anything for which a warranty may apply. 1. Service Line: PVC 2. Main Water Shutoff: Main Shut Off at Well Water Source Well How Verified Visual Inspection 4. Water Pressure 50 psi's Water supply system is on a well system, verified by visually locating well.

TPRV and Drain Tube: Copper 2 Water Temperature 118 degrees Air Conditioning Our evaluation of AC systems is both visual and functional provided power is supplied to the unit. Identifying or testing for the presence of asbestos products, or other potentially hazardous materials is not within the scope of this report. Judging the adequacy of the cooling efficiency of air conditioning is a subjective evaluation, therefore, we only note a poor condition if, in the inspector's opinion, the adequacy seems less than normal. We urge you to evaluate these systems prior to closing. We are not allowed to install gauges on the cooling system to perform a detailed evaluation due to concerns with refrigerants. This requires a special license and would cost much more than the fees charged for a General Home Inspection. This type of visual inspection does not determine the proper tonnage of A/C equipment needed or if the air conditioning equipment is properly sized for the dwelling or matched by brand or capacity. It is not within the scope of a General Home Inspection to determine unit size, SEER rating or if the evaporator and condenser coil are matched properly on the AC system. If a detailed evaluation is desired an HVAC contractor should be consulted prior to close. Information can be obtained from licensed heating and air conditioning contractors if a more comprehensive inspection is desired. A detailed evaluation of the cooling capacity is beyond the scope of this report. Air conditioners can be damaged if operated in temperatures below 60 degrees or immediately after a cold night. Additionally, some units can be damaged if operated when the breaker or fuses have not been on for at least 12 hours. We do not test units in cold weather nor do we test units that have no power at the time of inspection. Air conditioners should be kept clean and free of debris. Dirty air conditioners and those with restricted air flow because of fin damage, vegetation, etc. can wear out quickly. Winter covers can accelerate corrosion and should not be used unless approved by the manufacturer. The client is encouraged to consult their agent concerning home warranty options as air conditioners can fail at any time and are expensive to repair or replace. We suggest obtaining the maintenance history of air conditioning units and inquiring of the sellers/occupants if any areas of the home do not cool well or are not supplied with air conditioning. You should obtain warranty paperwork, if applicable, and request receipts for any recent repairs. DISMANTLING AND/OR EXTENSIVE INSPECTION OF INTERNAL COMPONENTS OF ANY APPLIANCE IS NOT WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS INSPECTION. Exterior Rear AC System 1. A/C System Operation: Functional electric heat pump is present. The heat pump was operated in the cooling mode only. A heat pump is basically a compressor-cycle air 2. An conditioning system that can operate in reverse. As long as the unit is functioning properly in either the heating or the cooling mode, it is an indication that the major components (compressor, fans, coils) are operational, with the exception of the reversing valve. This unit was tested for standard operating functions start up and shut down. Heat pump was tested using normal operating controls and appeared to operate properly at time of inspection. As with all mechanical equipment, the unit may fail at anytime without warning. Inspectors cannot determine future failures Individual heating elements are not tested and should be tested by a qualified HVAC contractor if further review is desired. Adequate airflow is important to the efficiency of these units: the filter should be kept clean as with air conditioners. Electric heat strips provide emergency heat and provided heat at time of inspection. The air conditioner was activated to check the operation of the motor and the compressor, both of which appear to be in serviceable condition. As a detailed review of the cooling capacity of this unit is beyond the scope of this inspection, we make no warranty as to the system's adequacy Condensate Removal: PVC Exterior Unit: Pad mounted Manufacturer: Carrier Model Number: 38YCC Serial Number: 2205YE Area Served: 1st floor Approximate Age: 6 years Fuel Type: 220 VAC Temperature Differential: 20 degree We recommend cleaning/replacing the furnace/ac filter on a regular basis to optimize the unit's operating efficiency and life expectancy. We recommend that the client commence an annual maintenance, cleaning, and parts replacement program with the local utility company or qualified heating contractor in order to keep the heating/cooling equipment in optimum and safe working order.

If a detailed inspection is 29. Efficiency desired, a licensed heating contractor should be consulted prior to closing to ensure proper operation of this unit. Kitchen Appliance inspection is beyond the scope of the American Society of Home Inspectors Standards of Practice but, as a courtesy to our clients, we perform a visual and operational inspection of all built-in appliances. The appliances listed in this report are operated, if accessible and power is supplied. Cooking systems are checked for burner operation but not for calibration, timers, special features or cleaning cycles. Built-in dishwashers are run through a full normal wash cycle to determine if the system is free of leaks and excessive corrosion. Please double-check appliance operation just before closing and re-check for secure cabinets, counters and appliances. Upon occupancy, the client should secure any freestanding oven so it cannot tilt forward when weight is applied to the door. (Most ovens come with directions on how to do this.) Individuals have been injured when sitting on or standing on these doors. Clients are advised to purchase a home protection plan because appliances, including new appliances, can fail at any time, including immediately after the inspection. Older appliances (five years or older), of course, are more prone to failure. 1st Floor Kitchen Counter Tops: Formica Sink: Stainless Steel Plumbing/Fixtures: Chrome Sprayer leaks.

Suspected Asbestos: No Bathroom Our focus in bathrooms is directed at identifying visible water damage and/or problems. We may not always mention common faults such as stuck stoppers or dripping faucets. If considered important, you should check these items independently. Shut-off valves and angle stops under kitchen or bathroom sinks and toilets are not turned or tested during the inspection due to the possibility of causing a leak. All shut-off valves or angle stops should be turned regularly by the homeowner to ensure free movement in case of emergency. Bathrooms require regular maintenance to prevent the possibility of water damage and maintenance should be performed without delay. Since leaks can occur at any time, plumbing should be checked just before closing and then regularly during occupancy. We advise that all floors, tile edges and tub/shower walls be caulked and sealed to prevent moisture penetration. When found soft, you should have checked for leaks and hidden damage. All leaks should be repaired and missing/damaged grouting and caulk should be replaced at once to help prevent future/further damage. Even tile that appears to be in good shape can take on water, so we suggest that you apply a sealant to tiled surfaces upon occupancy. If sluggish or noisy drains are noted, the drain waste vent system should be checked for blockage, damage or other restriction before close. Operating an exterior vented exhaust fan helps to reduce the chances of mold growth and harmful condensation.

Damper: Metal Hearth: Flush mounted Bedroom Our bedroom review is visual and evaluated with similar aged homes in mind. Inspections are limited to visible and/or accessible areas. Bedroom windows should be kept in good repair in the event they are needed for an emergency exit. We suggest making sure that they always operate freely (without use of force or a key or tool) and place furniture so as to keep windows accessible for emergency use. Older homes may have windows that do not meet current size and height safety standards for emergency exit. Keeping them accessible and in good operating condition enhances their safety. Providing an escape ladder is a recommended safety enhancement for all upper level bedrooms. Rooms used for sleeping should have functional exits to both the interior and exterior of the home. Personal belongings and furniture restrict access to receptacles, windows, walls, and flooring. These areas should be reviewed during your final walk through to reveal hidden or concealed damage.
