1. Roof

1.0 Roof Structure Exterior(1) The asphalt roof on this home is in fair condition reflecting it's 20+ service year life (the roof appears to beoriginal to the house). Some repairs and replacement shingles are evident. Shingles are becoming less flexible withage and granular loss is evident on the surface of the shingle.

I would recommend budgeting for a replacement roof.

6. Electrical

6.9 Service Panel WiringNoted wiring (see photo) in main electrical panel is most likely the electrical supply line for the electrical panel in thedetached garage. The combined potential load on the main feeder line may exceed the rated capacity of the mainelectrical line from the meter (200 amps).

The detached garage and it's electrical panel in the workshop was not inspected.

Recommend further assessment of the additional electrical panel, the secondary electrical panel, its' power supplywiring, panel configuration, breaker protection, and wiring by a licensed electrician.

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

1.0 Roof Structure Exterior(3) Paneled plastic roofing over the deck is noted. This should be kept clear of debris. Please note, this material willgenerally not support the weight of a person.

1.2 Roof Flashing(1) No flashing appears to have been used in the area of transition from the asphalt roof to the flat roof at the eave.In periods of heavy rain, water has penetrated this area, causing some rot of the soffit detail and sheathing.Conditions are further conducive to wood destroying organisms.

Recommend repair by a licensed roofing contractor.

1.3 Roof Drainage System(1) Recommend continued periodic cleaning of the gutters.

(2) The discharge from the gutter downspout in back of house is un-managed. Water should be positively shedaway from the house, especially in this area with marginal grading for water shedding.

Recommending extending downspout 4 to 6 feet away from the house by means of extension to an area of gradeaway from the structure.

2. Attic

2.3 Roof Structure VentilationThe attic void is very small and well insulated. Ventilation is solely provided by gable vents. Some minor organicgrowth is evident in a few areas on the underside of the roof sheathing. Consider commissioning a licensed roofingcontractor to add some additional means of attic ventilation (roof vents, soffit vents, ridge vent or combinationthereof) when the roof is replaced.

3. Exterior

3.3 General Grounds(2) Trees need to be trimmed back 2 to 3 feet from the roof eaves around the entire perimeter of the sides and backof the house. Contact with the structure can cause physical damage and act as a means of entry for rodents,animals, and pests.

3.6 Deck, Balcony, Bridge and Porch,(1) Deck and deck stair railings do not meet current safety standards for height or method of construction.

Recommend consulting a licensed decking or general contractor for improvement and/or replacement options.

(2) Some rot was found in the handrail on the front deck by the kitchen.



Recommend removal and replacement of rotten rail.

(3) Typical deck construction is not designed to support the weight of a water filled hot-tub. No additional supportwas apparent.Recommend consulting a decking contractor for options to additionally support the deck in the area of the hot-tub.

3.7 Exterior StairsConsider improving/replacing front entry steps with more substantial system as this is the primary means to enterthe home.

3.8 Retaining wallsWooden boards used as flower bed partition in the front of the house under the decking are rotten and decaying.Recommend removal and replacement with a masonry product or treated lumber. This condition is furtherconducive to wood destroying organisms.

6. Electrical

6.21 Carbon Monoxide DetectorsNo carbon monoxide detectors were installed at the time of the inspection. Carbon monoxide is an odorless,colorless, tasteless, toxic gas that is a product of the combustion process. Combustion appliances such as gasfurnaces and heaters can introduce dangerously high levels of carbon monoxide onto the indoor air if combustioncomponents need adjustment. Carbon monoxide detectors monitor indoor air and sound an alarm if dangerouslyhigh levels of carbon monoxide are detected.

The Inspector recommends installation of a carbon monoxide detector in the hallway outside the sleeping areas by aqualified contractor.

7. Interior

7.3 LightingSeveral recessed lights in the kitchen were noted to not work. Several had the bulbs removed. Recommendreplacing the bulbs. Recommend further troubleshooting by a licensed electrician if required.

7.5 DoorsRigid foam insulation has been installed on the back of the furnace closet door. Unless fire rated, rigid foaminsulation is a fire hazard and should be covered or removed from a utility closet with combustion appliances.

7.6 Windows and SkylightsSeveral windows have slight fog or staining inside panes indicating broken seal. Recommend replacing the glass ata convenient time.

8. Plumbing

8.4 Propane Water Heater(2) The pressure relief line is not properly connected at the joints. I was unable to determine if the piping is rated forhigh temperature water.

Recommend repair and replacement if necessary by a licensed plumber.

(3) Recommend plumbing the drain line of the pan to the exterior to help prevent water damage to the home in theevent of a leak. Recommend repairs by a licensed plumber.



(4) The hot water heater is delivering water too hot to the plumbing system, measured at 133 deg F at the kitchensink. This poses a scalding risk. Recommend adjusting the hot water heater temperature to deliver 120 deg F atthe sink and showers, etc. A licensed plumber can make the adjustment.

9. Heating

9.1 FurnaceThe third heating element on the furnace failed to light and the furnace shut-down on a safety override two cyclesbefore the element eventually light (I let the unit sit and tried again 20 minutes later). No record of recent servicingwas posted, annual is recommended.

Recommend servicing and troubleshooting by a licensed heating contractor.

9.3 ThermostatThermostat display was dim and difficult to read. Some numbers are distorted.

Recommend troubleshoot/repair/replacement by a licensed heating contractor.

9.4 Filter conditionFilter was dirty and requires replacement.

11. Kitchen and Built-in Appliances

11.9 CabinetsKitchen cabinet door requires adjustment.

11.10 Kitchen AppliancesHot water dispenser mounted in the kitchen sink is loose and requires tightening.

11.11 RangeFront left burner of range would only light when back left burner lighted. The down-draft would only run when the leftside burners were running. The range/oven combination appears original to the house and has exceeded it'sexpected appliance life expectancy.

Recommend repair or replacement of range/oven by a licensed appliance technician.

12. Laundry Room

12.0 FloorsLaundry fan is not operational. Wall switch appears to have been removed. Fan removes moisture from the roomas a result of using the washer/dryer.

Recommend repair/replace by a licensed electrician.

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
