3. Exterior

3.6 Deck, Balcony, Bridge and Porch,(1) The back deck does not meet today's basic safety standards, specifically; the ledger board is not bolted to thehouse rim joist, hangers are not used to support load bearing joists at the ledger-board or at the mid-span supportbeam, the ledger board is partially attached to a cantilever bay window detail (not allowed), railing balusters exceedthe 4 inch maximum recommended spacing. I would recommend consulting a licensed decking contractor foroptions to improve the safety of the structure.

See American Wood Council's Prescriptive Residential Wood Deck Construction Guide for best practices here:http://www.awc.org/pdf/codes-standards/publications/dca/AWC-DCA62012-DeckGuide-1405.pdf

4. Wall Exteriors

4.4 Composite SidingOriginal hard-board horizontal lap siding is the siding on the front of the house. Fiber-cement siding has replacedthe siding for the remainder of the exterior. Hard-board siding produced from 1990 to 1996 of various manufacturers(including LP) have seen problems with susceptibility to water absorption and subsequent related problems anddamage. Several class action lawsuits have been settled. Your siding is more than likely a Louisiana Pacific (LP)siding, identified by a unique knot in the pattern. It is extremely important to keep this type of siding sealed withcaulk and paint to avoid problems (it appears to be so at the time of the inspection). Once damaged, replacement isgenerally the best option. Please further consult a licensed siding contractor to discuss options for your situation.

5. Structure

5.6 Crawl Space Rodent ActivityRodent activity was evident throughout the crawlspace. Insulation has been disturbed and has fallen. I wouldrecommend you retain a pest specialist to exterminate the rodents. The affected insulation needs to be replacedand the crawlspace cleaned up. Please consult a crawl space remediation specialist for options and costs. A ventscreen requires repair, this is a possible entry point for rodents.

Repair & Maintenance SummaryRepair & Maintenance Issues = Items or discoveries indicate that these systems or components do not function asintended and/or maintenance is required in the near term. Further investigation by a specialist and/or subsequentobservation may be required.

1. Roof

1.5 Chimney at RoofThe metal chimney cap and some of the roof vents are rusting and may fail soon (holes and leaks). I wouldrecommend repair or replacement by a licensed roofing contractor.

1.6 Asphalt Composition Shingle(2) A repair has been attempted in this area using many screws to penetrate the shingles from above. This is notideal and may eventually leak. I would recommend repairs by a licensed roofing contractor.

3. Exterior

3.3 General GroundsRecommend trimming this tree back away from the structure and chimney.

3.6 Deck, Balcony, Bridge and Porch,(2) Some rot was evident in a bench behind the deck. I would recommend replacing affected wood. This conditionis further conducive to wood destroying organisms.

4. Wall Exteriors

4.3 Exterior Wall MembraneA section of sheathing needs to be re-fastened in the soffit.

4.5 Fiber-cementRecommend caulking the few seams that have opened in the fiber-cement siding.

5. Structure

5.3 FoundationQuarter-span support beams are supported on 6 inch CMU's (solid cinder-blocks), no poured concrete footings wereevident. Consider adding poured concrete footings to best support the structure in accordance with modernbuilding practices.

5.4 Crawlspace(1) Crawlspace vents on the front of the house need to be cleared of mulch so that the vents can properly ventilate.

(2) Strapping to support ventilation ducting needs to be re-hung.



6. Electrical

6.14 Exterior Electrical ReceptaclesExterior outlets require repair or replacement. GFCI type exterior outlets are required. Please consult a licensedelectrician.

1. RoofThe roof inspection portion of the General Home Inspection will not be as comprehensive as an inspection performed by a qualified roofing contractor.Because of variations in installation requirements of the huge number of different roof-covering materials installed over the years, the General HomeInspection does not include confirmation of proper installation. Home Inspectors are trained to identify common deficiencies and to recognizeconditions that require evaluation by a specialist. Inspection of the roof typically includes visual evaluation of the roof structure, roof-coveringmaterials, flashing, and roof penetrations like chimneys, mounting hardware for roof-mounted equipment, attic ventilation devices, ducts forevaporative coolers, and combustion and plumbing vents. The roof inspection does not include leak-testing and will not certify or warranty the roofagainst future leakage. Other limitations may apply and will be included in the comments as necessary.

5. StructureThe General Home Inspection includes inspection of the home structural elements that were readily visible at the time of the inspection. This mayinclude the: foundation; walls; floor structure; and/or roof structure. Soils vary in their stability and ability to support the weight of a structure. Minorcracking is normal with some common foundation materials, is typically limited to the material surface, is not a structural concern, and may not becommented on. Cracking related to soil/foundation movement indicates the potential for present or future structural concerns and will be commentedon to the best of the inspector's ability.

Much of the home structure is hidden behind exterior and interior roof, floor, wall, and ceiling coverings, or is buried underground. Because theGeneral Home Inspection is limited to visual and non-invasive methods, this report may not identify all structural deficiencies. Identification of portionsof the wall structure not directly visible requires logical assumptions on the part of the Inspector that are based on the Inspectors past experience andknowledge of common building practices.

Upon observing indications that structural problems may exist that are not readily visible, or the evaluation of which lies beyond the Inspector'sexpertise, the inspector may recommend evaluation or testing by a specialist that may include invasive measures, which would require homeownerpermission.

6. ElectricalOver the years, many different types and brands of electrical components have been installed in homes. Electrical components and standards havechanged and continue to change. Homes electrical systems are not required to be updated to meet newly enacted electrical codes or standards. Fulland accurate inspection of electrical systems requires contractor-level experience. For this reason, full inspection of home electrical systems liesbeyond the scope of the General Home Inspection.

The General Home Inspection is limited to identifying common electrical requirements and deficiencies. Conditions indicating the need for a morecomprehensive inspection will be referred to a qualified electrical contractor.Inspection of the home electrical system typically includes visualinspection of the following:service drop: conductors, weatherhead, and service mast; electric meter exterior; service panel and sub-panels; serviceand equipment grounding; system and component bonding; and visible branch wiring: receptacles (representative number), switches, lighting
