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. Red Notes Denote serious, safety or items that require further investigation Blue notes denote minor or maintenance item Green note denote locations and shutoff valves 1.

Amendment to the inspection report Repair information: I fixed the leaking pipes in lower bath sink by replacing the seals. Tightened the set screws on the upper bath tub faucet. Fixed the upper bath to hall door so it positively latches. Discussed the outside wiring with an electrician and he said since the wires are all specified for outdoor use and underground installations and are all for low voltage outdoor lights there is no need encase them in conduit. The inspector is mistaken in this requirement. No house hold power is be exposed to the environment. Roof and gutters have been cleaned and roof treated.
