INSPECTION LIMITATIONS:Hazardous materials are beyond the scope of this Home Inspection report.

REMARKS:IMPORTANT NOTE FOR BUYER

It must be noted that an inspection only lasts for a few hours. This gives the inspector avery limited time to learn everything about the property being inspected. In order to fullyknow a property, a person needs to live there 24/7 for perhaps several years. Aninspector is not a psychic, thus does not know everything that ever occurred on thehome and property and likewise cannot predict future happenings.



Many variables affect a home and are not generally known when inspecting. Thefollowing list is just a few instances that may show up differently in the future.

1. Normal wear and tear on a home. Appliances, plumbing and electricaldo wear out and fail.Wood ages, paint fades, caulking may crack, metal will eventually rust. Plumbing may become plugged or leak. Roofing materials can and do fail.

2. Weather changes such as sun vs. rain and wind. Adverse weathermay show leaks that were not visible in the summer for example. Summer heatdries wood; thus seeing a different picture. It is not unusual to see small leaksin walls, windowsills and ceilings during a severe storm that was not evidentafter a fresh coat of paint, caulking or patch plaster.

3. Fresh paint, wall coverings, flooring; these enhance the appearance ofthe property but they may and often do conceal defects that were evident priorto the addition of the new items.

4. Expansive soil conditions are often present. This condition does affectfoundations, driveways, walls, masonry and plumbing.

5. Earthquakes, common in California may cause shifting of a home,water heater, furnace, paved areas and can even disconnect plumbing jointsand damage foundations. Wiring in walls has been known to pull away fromreceptacles and switches.

6. On occasion the sellers may air or deodorize a home to conceal issuesor odors, which may again make themselves known in a day or two.

7. Inspectors do not move furniture, appliances or other items the homeowner has placed throughout the house. Beds, desks, and other items can andsometimes do cover and conceal items and potential issues.

8. Although it is not a common occurrence, items which were in the homeat the time of inspection have been known be exchanged or removed prior tothe new owner taking possession. For this reason items such as dishwashers,water heaters, HVAC units etc. are documented in this report. This is done foryour protection as a buyer. Please note that items that were reported asoperating properly when inspected can be damaged when the home is stilloccupied prior to the buyer taking possession.

For these reasons an inspector can not be held responsible for items that were notvisible or apparent

PLEASE NOTE: If it is recommended a specialist review a condition, it is important the entire system beevaluated and this service be preformed before the close of escrow by a licensed professional.



PLEASE REMEMBER: Our service is established to help you identify anddocument most of the conditions of the property. The report is not intended to be an"all inclusive" list of every condition, but rather, to identify the major challenges thatwere visible on the day of the inspection.
