The home is occupied by seller/tenant with their personal belongings and furniture, which may limit the inspection in some areas. This inspection does not contain complete information as to the condition of systems or components in the home, but is a limited inspection based on visual observations made at the time of inspection. The inspection is performed according to the ASHI Standards of Practice. This inspection and the opinions offered in this report are rendered solely and exclusively for our client. Unless otherwise noted, the house exterior was observed from the ground level. A board by board search was not performed and is beyond the scope of this inspection. The inspection and report are NOT intended to be: an engineering report, a determination of any regulation building code
10:08 July 12, 2014 Page 22 of 31 Final Comments (Continued) compliance; guarantees or warranties of any kind; technically exhaustive, or to imply that every component was inspected, or that every possible defect was discovered. No disassembly of equipment, opening of walls, moving of furniture, appliances or stored items, or excavation was performed. Any opinions expressed regarding adequacy, capacity, or expected life of components are general estimates based on information about similar components and occasional wide variations are to be expected between such estimates and actual experience. Detection of concealed moisture intrusion, mold, and/or wood decay behind exterior cladding is beyond the scope of this home inspection. Chimney/flue inspection can be limited due to height, cap, etc. This inspection only covers the visible portion of the flue. Testing of all smoke detectors is beyond the scope of this inspection. If is recommended that the smoke detectors be tested and/or replaced per manufacturer's guidelines. The inspection of the roof is to determine if portions of the roof are damaged, missing, and/or deteriorating and subject to possible leaking. Portions of the roof including underlayment and decking are not visible and cannot be evaluated during the visual inspection. Therefore, the inspection is not a guarantee or certification that the roof will not leak now or in the future. It is very important that water drain and runoff away from the house and foundation to minimize the chance of water infiltration into the basement or crawlspace. The ground, walkways, patios, etc. should be a minimum of 4 inches and slope away from the house for the first six feet at least one inch per foot around the perimeter of the house. It is suggested that a qualified contractor perform annual maintenance on the heating and air conditioning, if applicable, system. The Summary pages are provided to allow the reader a brief overview of the report and is not encompassing. The entire Inspection Report, including the ASHI Standards of Practice and Inspection Agreement must be carefully read to fully assess the findings of the inspection. It is recommended that any deficiencies and components/systems related to these deficiencies noted in the report be evaluated/inspected and repaired as needed by licensed contractors/professionals PRIOR TO THE CLOSING OF ESCROW. Further evaluation prior to the close of escrow is recommended so a properly licensed contractor/professional can evaluate our concerns further and inspect the remainder of the system or component for additional concerns that may be outside our area of expertise or the scope of the inspection.
