2 2216 Tamie Lane San Jose /13/ of 7 SCOPE OF INSPECTION. IMPORTANT INFORMATION This is a report of an inspection for wood destroying pests and organisms of a structure. This inspection was of only the visible and accessible areas of the structure. This inspection and report does not reveal building code compliance or non-compliance. For information about code compliance, a company that makes structural home inspections should be engaged. We have not inspected areas under furnishings, appliances, storage or floor coverings nor did we inspect inside finished walls or ceilings. Inspection of these areas is not practical. If inspection of any of these areas is requested, we would perform that inspection for an additional charge. Water stains at subflooring can and do occur for any number of reasons during the history of a structure. Water stains in the subarea will only be mentioned if they appear to be recent in nature or indicative of damage. We did not inspect electrical, heating or mechanical systems or did we inspect the plumbing systems except as may be specifically noted below. Inspection of these systems is beyond the scope of this inspection report. THE ETERIOR SURFACE OF THE ROOF WAS NOT INSPECTED. IF YOU WANT THE WATER TIGHTNESS OF THE ROOF DETERMINED, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A ROOFING CONTRACTOR WHO IS LICENSED BY THE CONTRACTORS STATE LICENSE BOARD. NOTICE: REPORTS ON THIS STRUCTURE PREPARED BY VARIOUS REGISTERED COMPANIES SHOULD LIST THE SAME FINDINGS (I.E. TERMITE INFESTATIONS, TERMITE DAMAGE, FUNGUS DAMAGE, ETC). HOWEVER, RECOMMENDATIONS TO CORRECT THESE FINDINGS MAY VARY FROM COMPANY TO COMPANY. YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO SEEK OPINION FROM ANOTHER COMPANY. WE GUARANTEE TREATMENTS DONE BY THIS COMPANY FOR THREE YEARS FROM THE COMPLETION. FUMIGATIONS ARE GUARANTEED FOR THREE YEARS FROM THE DATE OF THE FUMIGATION. WE CANNOT GUARANTEE WORK DONE BY THE OWNERS OR THE OWNERS' AGENT. WE MAKE NO GUARANTEE AGAINST FUTURE INFECTIONS/INFESTATIONS, ADVERSE CONDITIONS/DAMAGE OR CONDITIONS/DAMAGE PRESENT BUT NOT EVIDENT AT THE TIME OF OUR INSPECTION. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO RETRACT BIDS AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO RECEIPT OF A SIGNED WORK AUTHORIZATION CONTRACT. THIS COMPANY WILL REINSPECT WORK PERFORMED BY OTHERS FOR A REINSPECTION FEE OF $ OPEN WALL AND OPEN FLOOR INSPECTIONS ARE REQUIRED IF A CERTIFICATION OF THOSE AREAS IS DESIRED FROM THIS COMPANY. REINSPECTION WILL BE PERFORMED WITHIN FOUR MONTHS OF THE DATE OF THE ORIGINAL INSPECTION AND MAY REQUIRE AS LONG AS TEN DAYS TO BE MADE. THIS COMPANY DOES NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE WORKMANSHIP OF OTHERS OR WARRANT THEIR WORK. IF, DURING THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY REPAIRS OR REINSPECTIONS BY THIS COMPANY, ANY INFESTATIONS OR INFECTIONS ARE REVEALED THAT WERE NOT EVIDENT AT THE TIME OF OUR ORIGINAL INSPECTION, WE WOULD ISSUE A SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT WITH FINDINGS, RECOMMENDATIONS AND ADDITIONAL COSTS FOR CORRECTIONS. This company guarantees treatments applied by this company only, for a period of three years. This guarantee applies to the entire structure for the control of drywood termites and/or subterranean termites on complete treatments of the structure only. Should termite reinfestation occur within this period, this company will retreat at no charge; however, this firm cannot be held responsible for termite damage that has occurred in the enclosed and inaccessible areas as it would be impossible to determine how much damage was concealed prior to our treatment. THIS IS A SEPARATED REPORT WHICH IS DEFINED AS SECTION I/SECTION II CONDITIONS EVIDENT ON THE DATE OF INSPECTION. SECTION I CONTAINS ITEMS WHERE THERE IS EVIDENCE OF ACTIVE INFESTATION, INFECTION OR CONDITIONS THAT HAVE RESULTED IN OR FROM INFESTATION OR INFECTION.
