INTRODUCTION: Inspection Details We appreciate the opportunity to conduct this inspection for you! Please carefully read your entire Inspection Report. Call us after you have reviewed your report, so we can go over any questions you may have. Remember, when the inspection is completed and the report is delivered, we are still available to you for any questions you may have, throughout the entire closing process. Properties being inspected do not "Pass" or "Fail. - The following report is based on an inspection of the visible portion of the structure; inspection may be limited by vegetation and possessions. Depending upon the age of the property, some items like GFCI outlets may not be installed; this report will focus on safety and function, not current code. This report identifies specific non-code, non-cosmetic concerns that the inspector feels may need further investigation or repair. For your safety and liability purposes, we recommend that licensed contractors evaluate and repair any critical concerns and defects. Note that this report is a snapshot in time. We recommend that you or your representative carry out a final walk-through inspection immediately before closing to check the condition of the property, using this report as a guide. Items denote serious, safety or items that require further investigation Items denote minor or maintenance items Items denote locations and shutoff valves 1.

Water staining at the southeast corner of front porch indicating past leaking. There has not been rain for sometime, recommend monitoring or further investigation Page 3 of 49
5. Door/Window There was no visible flashing above the windows and or doors. Windows and or doors without flashing require periodic maintenance of caulking material. Decay occurring at threshold north side. Recommend extent of damage is investigated further and repaired 6. Grading Foliage is touching the siding, recommend clearance is achieved as this is a conducive condition for wood destroying organisms and pests Grade slopes toward the house from north to south. Grade slopes toward the house from west east. Ideally 1st 6 feet should slope away when possible. 7. Electrical No power to outlet, recommend further investigation and correction.

1. Porch Porches Concrete porch/porches appeared in good condition Guardrail balusters/spindles are spaced further than the maximum 4 inches, this requirement is to prevent small children from fitting through guardrail. Guardrail should be installed at a height of no less than 36" to 42". Recommend conditions are corrected as a safety precaution. Guardrails lower than 36 inches encourage people to set on the guardrail Page 8 of 49
1. Stair Exterior Stairs Steps were not uniform height, normally there should be no more that a 3/8th inch variance between riser heights. Recommend using caution. Page 9 of 49
1. Roof Condition Roof Architectural Composition shingle. Walked on roof surface. Moss growth on the wood shake surface. There are also areas where shakes are split in the key/rain groove areas exposing felt paper. Strongly recommend these conditions be investigated further by licensed roofing contractor and corrected. Recommend following conditions are investigated further by licensed roofing contractor and conditions corrected as required. Granular Loss At least 2 layers of shingles present Page 10 of 49
2. Flashing Siding butted against shingles, flashing not visible Page 11 of 49
1. Attic Attic 1 2. Framing Framing appeared in good condition overall. There were no visible indications of decay. There is a whitish and or darkened coloration that possibly could be a fungal/mold growth. Conditions are generally a result of excessive moisture at some point or inadequate ventilation.

4. Wiring Type Breaker system present. Wiring sizes conform to breaker sizes overall. Smaller branch circuit wiring is copper. Neutral busbar double taps were not allowable after 2002. Double tapping and lugging can create hot spots on breakers and neutral bars because they are not tightened to the correct torque-- especially if two different size conductors are used. Conditions can result in the breaker tripping because of the loose connection [current exceeding the rating of the breaker]. Conditions can result in over heating and possible fire. Strongly recommend conditions are investigated further corrected as required by licensed electrical contractor. White neutral wires connected to circuit breakers should be black or red taped to designate they are hot, recommend further investigation and correction by licensed electrical contractor. Breaker(s) double tapped inside panel box (more than one electrical conductor attached). This condition may cause breaker tripping (overload, possible overheating and potential electrical fire. Recommend evaluation by licensed electrical contractor. This is typically easily corrected by a licensed electrical contractor. Page 36 of 49

4. Ventilation Inadequate ventilation. Normally there should be 1 square foot of venting for each 150 square feet of crawlspace surface area placed so that cross ventilation is achieved. Inadequate ventilation is a conducive condition for wood decay and mold growth, recommend conditions are corrected 5. Vapor Barrier Vapor barrier was mostly in place. Missing incomplete/vapor barrier, recommend 6 mil black plastic vapor barrier is installed with minimum 12 inch lap. This is a conducive condition for wood decay and mold growth 6.

Glossary Glossary Term Double Tap Expansion Tank GFCI TPR Valve Definition A double tap occurs when two conductors are connected under one screw inside a panelboard. Most circuit breakers do not support double tapping, although some manufacturers, such as like Cutler Hammer, make hardware specially designed for this purpose. Double tapping is a defect when it is used on incompatible devices. If the conductors come loose, they cause overheating and electrical arcing, and the risk of fire is also present. A double tap can be accommodated by installing a new circuit board compatible with double tapping. It is also possible to add another circuit breaker or install a tandem breaker to the existing breaker box. An expansion tank or expansion vessel is a small tank used to protect closed (not open to atmospheric pressure) water heating systems and domestic hot water systems from excessive pressure. The tank is partially filled with air, whose compressibility cushions shock caused by water hammer and absorbs excess water pressure caused by thermal expansion. A special device that is intended for the protection of personnel by de-energizing a circuit, capable of opening the circuit when even a small amount of current is flowing through the grounding system. The thermostat in a water heater shuts off the heating source when the set temperature is reached. If the thermostat fails, the water heater could have a continuous rise in temperature and pressure (from expansion of the water). The temperature and pressure could continue to rise until the pressure exceeds the pressure capacity of the tank (300 psi). If this should happen, the super-heated water would boil and expand with explosive force, and the tank would burst. The super-heated water turns to steam and turns the water heater into an unguided missile. To prevent these catastrophic failures, water heaters are required to be protected for both excess temperature and pressure. Usually, the means of protection is a combination temperature- and pressurerelief valve (variously abbreviated as T&P, TPV, TPR, etc.). Most of these devices are set to operate at a water temperature above 200 F and/or a pressure above 150 psi. Do not attempt to test the TPR valve yourself! Most water heating systems should be serviced once a year as a part of an annual preventive maintenance inspection by a professional heating and cooling contractor.
