Weather Conditions:
Clear
Built in 2004 (6 years)
1,800 sq. feet
A non-invasive, limited visual inspection of the above-mentioned property was performed, at clients' request. Enclosed is
our written report based on that inspection.
This report will give you information about the overall condition of this property. Our inspectors follow the Standards of
Practice set forth by the California Real Estate Inspection Association (CREIA), a copy of which is available upon request.
We will examine the readily accessible areas and systems of the home.
Cosmetic considerations are not within the scope of this report, since all properties have some degree of wear. There
may be many items that even the most thorough inspection cannot reveal, which you may consider significant to
ownership. Furthermore, owning any building involves some risk and while we can give an excellent overview of the
property, we cannot inspect what we cannot see.
We do not move furniture, stored personal effects or dismantle any part of the home in the course of our inspection. We
do not do an exhaustive technical evaluation of the property; such an inspection is available for an additional fee.
Your attention is directed to the INSPECTION AGREEMENT, a copy of which was provided; this letter makes it a part of
the inspection report. It more specifically delineates the scope of the inspection and the limit of liability of the inspector
and inspection company in performing this inspection. Please be sure to read and understand the scope of our
inspection.
We cannot make repairs nor refer contractors for repairs or maintenance on items which our report mentions, since we
abide by the Standards of Practice, Code of Ethics of CREIA and the California Business & Professions Code.
NOTE: The client is strongly advised to further investigate or contract with appropriate persons to further
investigate any and/all conditions/items in the inspection report not listed as (S) Serviceable, or are Inoperable,
Beyond the scope of a CREIA Inspection or which may have been disclosed by others or which you may be
concerned before the close of escrow or sooner if your residential purchase agreement has a contingency time
limit.
Any statements made in the body of the inspection report pertaining to right, left, front or rear are referenced to viewing
from the street and facing the dwelling.
We advise clients to obtain owners manuals and warranties for all equipment/appliances installed in the dwelling.
We advise clients to ask for any/all permits and inspection records with final signatures for any modifications or additions
that may have been made to the dwelling, and/or any known conditions that may have been inadvertently left out of
disclosure statements.
We advise having all exterior door locks rekeyed and the garage opener if present re programed after taking possession
of the home for security reasons.

EXTERIOR-STRUCTURE
100 EXTERIOR / STRUCTURE / SUB-STRUCTURE
Type of structure:
Single Family dwelling.
Number of stories:
Single story, with garage being approximately one story below main building floor level.
Inspection of the exterior and immediate surrounding areas is limited to visible and readily accessible areas, areas hidden
from view by vegetation, at or below grade level and/or behind walls or stored items can not be judged and are not part of
this inspection, taking into account typical wear for properties of this age and type (excluding cosmetic considerations).
Moisture intrusion through cracks or openings in the exterior siding, trim, windows and doors is a source of moisture
damage and deterioration. We recommend sealing all cracks and openings in and between the exterior siding and trim
materials, especially around doors and windows. Routine maintenance and painting may extend the service life and
minimize deterioration of the exterior surfaces.
101 Siding:
Engineered wood: S. Suggest trimming all trees and vegetation away from home at left
side of building.
102 Trim:
Wood:
•
•
Typical weathered conditions noted. Staining noted under eaves.
Deterioration noted where gutter (at rear) was noted to be leaking. We suggest
evaluation by, or referring to the report of, a Licensed Structural Pest Control
Operator for identification and any remediation deemed necessary by the pest
control company.
103 Window Frames:
S; Vinyl clad, dual pane windows noted. Double-paned windows reduce street noise and
improve efficiency of heating/cooling systems. The space between the panes is factory
sealed. If a seal is broken, air from the environment may enter the formerly sealed
space. This condition may cause condensation or fogging in the window(s), depending
on the climatic conditions. We cannot assure the seal on each and every window, but
we will note in the report the presence of visible condensation at the time of inspection.
Due to climatic conditions, nature of the components and cleanliness of the glass, it is
not possible to determine all failures. Any condensation or fogging that was present at
time of inspection will be noted in the appropriate section(s) of this report.
104 Electric Fixtures:
•
•
Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected for safety.
Inoperable light noted at back porch.
105 Gutters/Downspouts:
•
•
•
Evidence of leaking noted, resealing suggested. See #102
Debris noted in gutters should be removed to prevent clogging.
Suggest adding splash blocks or otherwise extending the termination point of
downspouts further away from foundation where necessary.
The water testing of gutters, downspouts and underground drain piping, where
present, is beyond the scope of this inspection. As part of regular maintenance,
•
Report: 01092310
Page 6
gutters should be inspected and debris in gutters should be removed to prevent
clogging.
106 Entry Door(s):
S
107 Bell/Chime:
S.
108a Chimney(s):
S; Located at right side of home.
Viewed from:
Chimney was viewed from ground only due to roofing pitch/concern for inspector safety.
Our inspection of the fireplace and chimney is limited to the readily visible portions only.
The inner reaches of a flue are relatively inaccessible. Our distant oblique view from the
top or bottom is not adequate to discover possible deficiencies or damage, even with a
strong light. For safe and efficient operation we recommend annual inspections by a
qualified fireplace professional. A qualified fireplace professional will clean the interior if
necessary, use specialized tools, testing procedures, mirrors and video cameras as
needed to evaluate the fireplace system. If the fireplace has not been inspected by a
qualified fireplace professional within the past year we recommend this be done prior to
use.
Chimney Conditions:
A spark arrester is installed as a safety feature. A rain cap is also installed.
109 Gas Meter(s):
NOTE: Location of main gas shut-off valve noted in above photo.
Report: 01092310

•
•
Propane tank located at right side of building
Ensure that all gas appliances (water heater(s), stove(s), heater(s), furnace(s)
etc.) purchased for this building are suitable for propane use (and not natural
gas). Currently no verification label exists for water heater to confirm that it is
suitable for propane use.
110 Foundation:
•
•
Concrete, raised construction.
The foundation was viewed from exterior and crawl space only, unable to view
and confirm current condition of interior subfloor due to wall-to-wall flooring.
Footing not fully visible due to vegetation, hardscape or soil height.
111 Foundation bolting:
Framing is bolted. Bolt frequency not verified.
112 Crawlspace access area(s):
Access located at garage. Fire-rated door noted.
113 Crawlspace Ventilation:
Ventilation appears to be adequate. Screens noted.
115 Crawlspace Conditions:
Evidence of prior water entry exist
•
•
116 Plumbing:
•
•
Evidence of prior water entry exist from the rear of property. We recommend
drainage control improvements to help keep the foundation/crawlspace area
dry. See also #206
The floor support framing was provided with fiberglass insulation. This helps to
save energy and seasonal heating costs. It should be noted that a full and
thorough visual inspection of the floor framing support system could not be
performed due to the installation of insulation.
Sink, tub and shower faucets were left running for this drain test. No evidence
of actively leaking plumbing where accessible.
(The sink noted in one of the bedroom closets is actively hooked up to the water
supply and drain line system. No toilet system has been established yet under
this closet/bathroom.)

up by neighbors), no fencing exists around this property.
•
204 Gate(s):
None.
205 Sprinklers:
None noted.
206 Lot Grade at Foundation:
•
•
This building is located in a hillside development. As geological evaluations are
beyond the scope of this inspection, client is advised to consult a licensed
geotechnical engineer if concerned by that fact.
Lot grade within six feet of structure is flat or slopes away from foundation of
this building. Due to slope at rear however, it may be prudent to install some
form of surface drain system along the rear of property so as to divert run-off
from the hill around the sides of this building.
Report: 01092310
Page 9
207 Sill plate/Weep
screed/Siding:
Lot grade is adequately below siding material at most areas around foundation. Keep
debris away from making contact with siding material at left of building.
208 Exterior Grounds Comments: Slope noted towards building at rear. Possible drainage improvements may be required
(depending on soil quality) in order to move the rainwater away from the foundation of
this building.
Report: 01092310

ROOF COVERING
Our roof inspection is to report on the type and condition of roofing materials, missing and/or damaged material, and
attachments (excluding antennas, solar systems, etc.) where visible. This does not constitute a warranty, guarantee, roof
certification or life expectancy evaluation of any kind. Roofs are not water tested for leaks. Condition of the roofing
underlayment material is not verified/inspected. For further evaluation and a roofing certification we recommend you
consult a qualified licensed roofing contractor, a number lenders may require a roofing certification. Building's that have
tile or wood shingle/shake materials and are going to be tented for termites should be re inspected for possible damage
caused by the extermination process before the close of escrow.
301 Type/material:
Sloped/ Composition shingle
Roof access:
Due to steep roofing pitch the inspector viewed the roof surface/components from the
ground and from a ladder at the roof edge. This is a limited visual examination.
302 Flashing:
S. Appears to be in satisfactory condition where visible.
303 Drains/Waste vents:
S Appear to be adequately sealed and flashed where visible.
304 Comments:
•
•
•
Suggest trimming all trees and vegetation away from roof.
Debris on roof should be periodically removed to prevent water from damming
and to extend roofing life. The debris reduces the flow of roof water runoff and
increases the potential for leakage.
Roof covering shows normal wear for its age and type, appears to be in
serviceable condition where visible.

607 Fire Door(s):
Self closer needs adjustment/replacement. Door will not consistently latch itself shut.
This compromises the fire barrier protection between the garage and habitable space.
608 Fire wall(s):
Gap noted around open fixture.
Gap noted around open fixture. Ensure that this fire wall surface stays sealed
so that there is an effective fire barrier between the garage and the habitable
indoor space.
A fire-rated wall (and in some cases -ceiling also) separating the garage from
habitable space must be made from 5/8 inch 'type X' drywall. Joints must be
sealed with drywall tape embedded in drywall compound. This structure is
designed to contain a fire originating in a garage for a limited time (20 minutes)
and offer home inhabitants more time to safely vacate the building in the event
of a fire.

720 Comments:
No safety pan/emergency drainage systems are required to be installed on one story
buildings in the event of hose leaks and washing machine flooding. Client may want to
consider installing a product called "Flood Stop". This is an automated valve shut-down
device, and will be useful as a prevention against possible washing machine flooding
and/or hose leaks.
Report: 01092310

MAJOR SYSTEMS
Our visual inspection of major systems is limited to the normal operating functions of items listed. Independent
evaluations including the adequacy/inadequacy of water flow (such as gallons per minute), buried/concealed piping or
water quality, electrical amperage/voltage adequacy and the testing of photoelectric cell operated fixtures are not within
the scope of this report. If such detailed information is required, we suggest contacting appropriate specialists. Areas
concealed from view by any means are excluded from this report/inspection. Any electrical repairs, modifications,
corrections, installations or periodic inspection and maintenance of systems or aluminum wiring should be provided by a
licensed and qualified electrician per California law.
MAIN ELECTRICAL SERVICE
801 Electrical:
The main electrical service is approximately 200 amps/240 volts.
Location:
Service entrance is underground, with the main panel located at right side of dwelling.
Sub panel(s):
None.
Overload protection:
Overload protection is provided by breakers. The accuracy of labels when present are
not verified.
Main shut off/disconnect:
•
•
Futures:
One future is provided for possible future expansion.
Conductors:
•
•
Predominate wiring material where visible is copper.
220 V aluminum strand wiring also noted. No solid 110 V aluminum branch
wiring noted.
Grounding Method:
•
•
Grounding method appears to be by Ufer clamp.
Grounding method not verified; grounding assembly not fully visible.
•
•
•
Abandoned or disconnected wiring is not properly terminated.
Unused opening in the panel is missing cover.
Loose terminals or breakers noted; (evidence of prior arcing noted at base of
unit). Complete review/correction by a licensed electrician is advised before the
close of escrow.
NOTE: Location of main electrical shut-off switch noted in above photo.
Main electrical disconnect noted as required.
Conditions:
Report: 01092310
Page 17
Arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) breakers
noted in main service panel. These
devices protect bedroom outlets from the
potential danger of arcing. AFCI breakers
were tested and are functioning as
intended. Manufacturers advise testing
these units monthly by pushing the yellow
"test" buttons to ensure that the breakers
will trip. Should the breakers fail to trip
when tested advise contracting a qualified
electrician to exchange unit(s) with new
AFCI breaker(s).
Ground fault circuit interrupter devices (GFCI) afford additional protection against electrical shock. GFCI protection is
typically found in newer homes in areas where electrical receptacles are located near sources of water. For your
information, we have indicated in the report those areas which may be appropriate for GFCI installation and whether or
not a device is in place. Upgrading unprotected plug outlets noted in the report is recommended for additional safety.
PLUMBING SUPPLY AND DRAIN
802 Plumbing:
Supply piping, where visible, is copper.
Location:
Water pressure:
•
•
NOTE: Location of main water shut-off valve noted in above photo.
Main water shutoff valve is located under the cover at left side of driveway.
•
S. Exterior water pressure in PSI* is 65. This is considered to be adequate.
Recommended water pressure for residential buildings is typically between 30
to 80 PSI* (*PSI: pounds per square inch).
Pressure regulator noted.
•
Comments:
Backflow prevention devices were noted on the outdoor hose bibs. These devices are
beneficial in that they prevent the possibility of contaminated water from "backing up"
and entering your potable water supply via a hose or a sprinkler system (especially when
spray heads are installed on the ends of hoses).
803 Drain/Waste:
Underground, concealed and/or buried piping is not inspected/tested. Drain cleanouts
and location(s) not verified. Having a drain service company video review the main drain
line to be sure it is unobstructed and unbroken before the close of escrow is always
recommended. ABS plastic where visible.
The visible areas only of the main water line, shutoff valve, water supply and drain lines, gas meter and piping are
examined to determine their current condition. Areas concealed from view by any means are excluded from this
report/inspection. Leakage, blockage or corrosion in underground or concealed piping cannot be detected by a visual
examination. A video inspection of drain/waste lines by an appropriate specialist is recommended if client is concerned by
this possibility. Older fixtures or components should be budgeted for replacement. Shutoff valves are not operated by the
Report: 01092310
Page 18
inspector as they may be prone to leakage if they have not been frequently operated. Private waste disposal system's are
not inspected, beyond the scope of this inspection.
SMOKE DETECTORS
804 Smoke Detectors:
Smoke detectors noted in hallway(s) and in all bedrooms of building.
The smoke detectors in this building were observed for presence only and were
not tested. Pushing the "test" button on the detector will only test the battery
and audio function of the unit and does not test the unit's ability to detect
smoke. The latter function can only be effectively tested through a simulated
smoke test. Such a test is beyond the scope of a home inspection and was not
performed. The
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)
recommends that all homeowners do the following: 1) Upon initial habitation of
a property all batteries in all smoke detectors should be exchanged
simultaneously for new ones. Manufacturers recommend that this process be
repeated twice a year. 2) All smoke detector/alarm batteries in your house
should be battery and audio tested once a month (by pushing the "test" button).
Most manufacturers advise that smoke detector units themselves be replaced
every 5~8 years since they become desensitized with age. 3) Every family
should also develop a fire escape plan and practice it at least twice a year. The
CPSC recommends these measures because working smoke alarms and a fire
escape plan will increase your protection in case of a fire.
Disconnected/missing smoke detector noted near kitchen. Correction
recommended.
•
•
•
If the home were to be constructed today, standards would require installation of detectors in each sleeping room and in
the hallway accessing each sleeping area. Multi story dwellings would require a detector on each level. Future
installation of additional detectors at any unprotected location is suggested for increased fire safety. We have listed the
present areas that a smoke detector is located. Units not tested by inspector. The built in test button when present only
verifies proper battery and horn function, but does not test smoke sensor. We suggest that the units be tested with real or
simulated smoke at move-in and that fresh batteries be installed as required and tested monthly as recommended by the
Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Combustion air provides oxygen for fuel-burning appliances.
Adequate
ventilation around all fuel-burning appliances is vital for their safe operation.
Comments:
Impact damage noted on unit.
Unit was started from an "off" condition for this inspection and appeared to be
taking longer than usual to heat up the water content. Despite being on for over
an hour, burners were still on when unit was shut down again and water was
still only luke-warm. Unit (and gas at main) were turned off when inspection was
completed.
Dent noted at top of unit; condition of interior structure not determined. Outer
burner cover is missing.
Paint around unit has been stripped off. The cause of this condition is unknown.
Currently no verification label exists for water heater to confirm that it is suitable
for propane use.
Suggest further review of this unit by licensed plumber before close of escrow.

•
•
•
805b Venting:
S.
The water temperature is not verified/tested. Water that is hotter than the manufacturers recommended setting is a
scald/safety hazard. The water temperature should never be set higher than the manufacturers recommended setting. We
recommend that the temperature setting be checked at move-in for safety.
FIREPLACE(S)
Report: 01092310
Page 20
806a Fireplace(s):
•
•
•
•
Located at living room/family room.
Solid fuel burning fireplace noted. Damper noted. Appears to be in satisfactory
condition.
Cracking and some deterioration noted in fireplace.
Since inner condition of flue vent was not fully visible and due to soot noted
when damper was tested, we recommend that this unit and chimney be
inspected/cleaned by a qualified chimney sweep professional prior to use.
ANCILLARY SYSTEMS
807 Comments:
Alarm system noted. This system is not part of a home inspection and was not
tested/inspected by your home inspector. Most alarm companies will, upon request,
conduct a free review of your alarm system along with any repair/servicing estimates.
Report: 01092310

Our inspection of major HVAC systems is limited to the normal operating functions of the items listed. Independent
evaluations including the adequacy/inadequacy of heating and cooling systems (such as cracked heat exchangers, air
conditioning pressure tests, coolant charge, line integrity, air balance, evaporator cooling coils.etc.) are not within the
scope of this report. Thermostats are not checked for calibration or timed functions. If such detailed information is
required, we suggest contacting appropriate HVAC specialists. Normal service and maintenance by a licensed HVAC
specialist is recommended by the HVAC equipment manufacturer on an annual basis.
DISMANTLING AND/OR EXTENSIVE INSPECTION OF INTERNAL COMPONENTS OF ANY APPLIANCE,
INCLUDING HEATERS AND HEAT EXCHANGERS, IS BEYOND THE SCOPE OF THIS REPORT. IN A NUMBER OF
AREAS THE LOCAL UTILITY COMPANY MAY CONDUCT SUCH AN INSPECTION UPON REQUEST. MOST
MANUFACTURES ADVISE ANNUAL SERVICING BY A LICENSED QUALIFIED HVAC SPECIALIST.
HEATING SYSTEMS
A. 810 Heating:
LP gas unit (conversion kit label noted) forced air unit. Due to the inaccessibility
of many of the components of this unit, our review is limited. We recommend
that a licensed HVAC specialist further review the unit before the close of
escrow if a more detailed analysis of the unit is required.
Since carbon monoxide (CO) is one of the products of combustion, carbon
monoxide detectors are recommended in all buildings that use gas heating
units, as a safety precaution against potential heat exchanger failure.

review of the cooling capacity of these units is beyond the scope of this
inspection, we make no warranty as to its adequacy.
Advise clearing away debris from around base of unit. The pad under the unit
should be kept elevated 3" above the soil or hardscape to prevent contact with
soil or standing water (causing rust or deterioration to the unit).
THERMOSTAT CONTROL(S)
890: Thermostat #1:
S; Located at hallway.
As of October 1, 2005, when changes to the heating and air conditioning system are made, they will be subject to the
2005 energy protocols which include further testing to verify that the system is up to current standards. We recommend
that you review your home warranty policy regarding replacement components of the heat/air system because you may
be responsible for additional costs if a component is required to be upgraded due to the new 2005 energy protocols now
in effect. It is beyond our ability to determine whether this system currently meets the 2005 energy protocols, therefore,
we exclude this from our inspection and defer this to the appropriate trade specialists.

KITCHEN
Inspection of kitchen components is limited to built-in gas or electric appliances and plumbing systems, if power is
supplied. These items are tested under normal operating conditions. Extensive evaluations, such as calibration/operation
of timers, clocks, heat settings, thermostat accuracy, self cleaning and temperature probes on cooking appliances are not
within the scope of this report. Stored personal effects will restrict viewing cabinet interiors and should be checked at
your walk-through before the close of escrow.
Note: Due to the inaccessibility of the dishwasher components, we can do no more than operate under normal
operating procedures, cleaning and drying adequacy not verified. Dishwashers can fail at any time due to their
complexity. Our review is to determine if the system is free of leaks and excessive corrosion.
Shutoff valves and angle stops under kitchen or bathroom sinks and toilets are not turned or tested during the inspection
due to the possibility of leaking. We suggest all shutoff valves or angle stops be turned regularly to ensure free
movement in case of emergency.

INTERIOR ROOMS
Our interior review is to determine functionality of accessible doors, windows and electrical outlets, visible water stains
and other related conditions. Minor items, such as torn screens, cracked window panes and loose hardware can occur at
any time. Furnishings and stored personal effects are not moved during the inspection. Closet and storage areas should
be reviewed at your walk-through before the close of escrow after furnishings and stored personal effects have been
removed for any hidden damage. New paint and flooring can remove or conceal evidence of any past conditions that may
have been present prior to the work being done. We recommend inquiring about any past conditions that may no longer
be visible.

ATTIC AREA & ROOF FRAMING
The visible areas of the attic and roof framing were examined to determine their current condition and visible water stains.
Areas concealed from view by any means are excluded from this report. Insulation is not moved during the inspection.
Attic framing members/components and other multiple items are tested by examining a representative sampling as
opposed to specific functionality of every single item. The accessible permanently installed equipment or components are
checked for basic operation. Thermostatically operated attic vent fans are excluded from the inspection.
1751 Hatch(es):
Located at hallway ceiling.
1752 Accessibility:
Not all areas of the attic were fully accessible. The only area in the attic safely accessible
was the service deck area at furnace unit and the boarding leading to that unit. Access to
other attic areas was limited by insulation covering framing members, ducting materials
and/or lack of vertical clearance. Comments reflect readily visible areas from this/these
vantage point(s) only.
1753a Sheathing:
S; OSB (Oriented Strand Board) Radiant Barrier material.
1753b Framing:
S; Pre-manufactured truss construction with some standard framing additions.
1754 Evidence of leaking:
No evidence of leaking where visible.
1755 Insulation:
Blown-in, loose-fill insulation noted. Where visible, thickness of insulation material is
approximately 12+ inches. Unable to view area beneath insulation.
1756 Ventilation:
Appears to be adequate. Vents located at eaves and gables.
1757 Exhaust Vents:

BEYOND THE SCOPE
1900 WHEN IT'S BEYOND THE SCOPE
CONCEALED AREAS:
If areas of the home are inaccessible or concealed from the inspectors view, then an
inspection of that area did not take place.
1) Request that any information about any hidden problems be revealed to you about
these inaccessible or hidden areas from the seller prior to the close of escrow
2) Return to the property prior to the close of escrow and perform a walk-through
inspection of your own after the owner's belongings have been removed
3) If your inspection or information reveals hidden damage or concerns contact a
qualified specialist or your inspector for a return visit.
PERMITS/BUILDING CODE
VIOLATIONS:
If you are concerned about code violations or building permit information you should:
1) Contract with a company to research permit information available at the appropriate
building and safety office.
2) If you have additional concerns with regard to code violations you may contract for a
code compliance survey of the property. A typical home inspection is not such a service.
GEOLOGICAL STABILITY:
Soil condition or stability is not determined during this home inspection. Should you
decide to obtain a geological report of the site conditions you might contact a geological
inspection firm through your real estate agent or a non profit association of geotechnical
engineers for referral.
STRUCTURAL STABILITY OR
ENGINEERING ANALYSIS:
Engineering analysis of a building's structure is performed only by a licensed structural
engineer with the use of measurements, calculations, or other scientific evaluation.
Engineering is beyond the scope of a typical home inspection. To receive an inspection
and report on the structure by an engineer, ask your real estate agent or a non-profit
association of structural engineers for referral.
SEWER BLOCKAGE:
Check with the seller for information about the history of the sewer or private waste
disposal system. Having a drain service company video review and service the main
drain line to be sure it is open and flowing before the close of escrow is recommended
on all homes.
RADIO CONTROLLED DEVICES: Numerous devices in homes that are operated with remote controls are not within the
scope of this inspection. For information about these devices we first suggest that you
obtain a list of all the remote controls from the seller. (The operation of the overhead
garage door automatic opener will be tested using the permanent control button provided
in the house or garage.) Many radio controlled devices have changeable codes which
you may want to consider altering for your use or safety. You may wish to contact the
installer or manufacturer for additional information and evaluation.
REINSPECTION AND REPAIRS:
Should a re-inspection be requested a fee may be applied for this additional service.
Re-inspections are only performed on items not accessible at the time of original
inspection or that were unable to be inspected due to utilities not turned on. Should
repairs be necessary we suggest they be performed by appropriate persons and that
work complies with applicable Law, including governmental permit, inspection, and
approval requirements. Buyer should obtain from seller receipts for Repairs performed
by others, a written statement indicating the date of Repairs performed by Seller and
provide Copies of receipts and statements of seller prior to final verification of condition.
(Ref: Residential Purchase Agreement Form RPA-CA, page 4 item 10.)
MOLD, MILDEW, FUNGUS AND
MICROBIAL ORGANISMS:
Mold, mildew, fungus and other microbial organisms commonly occur in areas that show
evidence of or have the potential for leaking, moisture intrusion and/or inadequate
ventilation. The identification of the organisms is beyond the scope of the inspector. Any
area or item exhibiting such conditions can be a health hazard to some people. If
concerned about this possibility, we recommend further investigation be performed by a
Certified Industrial Hygienist to determine if there exists an ongoing climate for
Report: 01092310
Page 34
incubation or microbial contamination and that steps be taken to eliminate this climate.
PRODUCT RECALLS, SAFETY
ALERTS & HOME WARRANTY
SERVICES:
Product recalls and consumer product safety alerts are added almost daily. If client is
concerned about appliances or other items installed in the home that may be on such
lists, client may wish to visit the U.S. Consumer Protection Safety Commission (CPSC)
web site and sign up for their free product recall alert system at
https://www.cpsc.gov/cpsclist.aspx or visit www.recalls.com for further information. A
basic home inspection does not include the identification or research for appliances and
other items installed in the home that may be on the CPSC lists.
Client may also wish to consider purchasing a home warranty service so as to offset the
potential costs of repair to household items and systems that are included on the home
warranty service. This home inspection service is not a home warranty service and
diligently strives to reflect the condition of the property and its components on the day of
the inspection only. No guarantees are made for future performance on any of the
appliances or structures that were inspected.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS OR Environmental hazards, materials or conditions, including, lead, asbestos and radon and
MATERIALS:
not limited to, toxic, reactive, combustible, corrosive contaminates, wildfire and flood.
Homes built before 1979 may have products in them that contain some amounts of
asbestos or lead. Determining the presence of these products is beyond the scope of
this report. An environmental survey is not part of a home inspection, this service is
available by contracting with an appropriate specialist.

IMPORTANT: These notes are not the entire report and most of these items were regular maintenance items. The
complete report may include additional information of concern to you. It is recommended that you read the complete
report. The entire Inspection Report, including the Standards of Practice, Limitations and Scope of Inspection, and
Pre-Inspection Agreement must be carefully read in order to fully assess the findings of the inspection. These notes are
not intended to determine which items may need to be addressed per the contractual requirements of the sale of the
property. Any areas of uncertainty regarding the contract should be clarified by consulting an attorney or your real estate
agent.
It is strongly recommended that you have appropriate State licensed contractors evaluate each concern further and the
