A non-invasive, limited visual inspection of the above-mentioned property was performed, at clients' request. Enclosed is our written report based on that inspection. This report will give you information about the overall condition of this property.

We will examine the readily accessible areas and systems of the home.

Cosmetic considerations are not within the scope of this report, since all properties have some degree of wear. There may be many items that even the most thorough inspection cannot reveal, which you may consider significant to ownership. Furthermore, owning any building involves some risk and while we can give an excellent overview of the property, we cannot inspect what we cannot see.

We do not move furniture, stored personal effects or dismantle any part of the home in the course of our inspection. We do not do an exhaustive technical evaluation of the property; such an inspection is available for an additional fee. Your attention is directed to the INSPECTION AGREEMENT, a copy of which was provided; this letter makes it a part of the inspection report. It more specifically delineates the scope of the inspection and the limit of liability of the inspector and inspection company in performing this inspection. Please be sure to read and understand the scope of our inspection.We cannot make repairs nor refer contractors for repairs or maintenance on items which our report mentions, since we abide by the California Business & Professions Code.

Inspection of the exterior and immediate surrounding areas is limited to visible and readily accessible areas, areas hidden from view by vegetation, at or below grade level and/or behind walls or stored items cannot be judged and are not part of this inspection, taking into account typical wear for properties of this age and type (excluding cosmetic considerations). Moisture intrusion through cracks or openings in the exterior siding, trim, windows and doors is a source of moisture damage and deterioration. We recommend sealing all cracks and openings in and between the exterior siding and trim materials, especially around doors and windows. Routine maintenance and painting may extend the service life and minimize deterioration of the exterior surfaces

The visible areas only of the main water line, shutoff valve, water supply and drain lines, gas meter and piping are examined todetermine their current condition. Areas concealed from view by any means are excluded from this report/inspection. Leakage, blockage or corrosion in underground or concealed piping cannot be detected by a visual examination. A video inspection of drain/waste lines by an appropriate specialist is recommended if client is concerned by this possibility. Older fixtures or components should be budgeted for replacement. Shutoff valves are not operated by the inspector as they may be prone to leakage if they have not been frequently operated. Private waste disposal system's are not inspected, beyond the scope of this inspection.

Comments:


Our roof inspection is to report on the type and condition of roofing materials, missing and/or damaged material, and attachments (excluding antennas, solar systems, etc.) where visible. This does not constitute a warranty, guarantee, roof certification or life expectancy evaluation of any kind. Roofs are not water tested for leaks. Condition of the roofing underlayment material is not verified/inspected. For further evaluation and a roofing certification we recommend you consult a qualified licensed roofing contractor, a number of lenders may require a roofing certification. Building's that have tile or wood shingle/shake materials and are going to be tested for termites should be re inspected for possible damage caused by the extermination process before the close of escrow.

When a door opener's safety reverse function fails to operate, the problem may be improper adjustment, or it may be something more serious and costly. With some openers, auto-reverse mechanisms may need replacement, not merely readjustment. With older door openers, many were never designed with automatic safety reverse. Upgrading these units is recommended for safety. Your garage door should also be balanced so that it will stay in place when the emergency release is unexpectedly crash to the floor causing injury. The inspector did not test this function. The U.S. Product Safety

5 IN CONDUCTORS: Unable to view inside panel appliances running in the home.

6 IN GROUND METHOD: Unable to view in wall.

Comments:


In older homes open grounds are quite commonly found, this is due to the original wiring systems not being upgraded to a three wire system or only selective areas being upgraded. The methods of grounding these receptacles vary greatly dependent on the period when they were installed or upgraded. When three prong receptacles with open grounds are identified and a two-wire system is present,(If this situation occurs a licensed electrical contractor needs to evaluate the whole house.)Ground fault circuit interrupter devices (GFCI) afford additional protection against electrical shock. GFCI protection is typically

found in newer homes in areas where electrical receptacles are located near sources of water. For your information, we have indicated in the report those areas which may be appropriate for GFCI installation and whether or not a device is in place. Upgrading unprotected plug outlets noted in the report is recommended for additional safety.

Our visual inspection of major systems is limited to the normal operating functions of items listed. Independent evaluations including the adequacy/inadequacy of water flow (such as gallons per minute), buried/concealed piping or water quality, electrical amperage/voltage adequacy and the testing of photoelectric cell operated fixtures are not within the scope of this report. If such detailed information is required, we suggest contacting appropriate specialists. Areas concealed from view by any means are excluded from this report/inspection. Any electrical repairs, modifications, corrections, installations or periodic inspection and maintenance of systems or aluminum wiring should be provided by a licensed and qualified electrician per California law.

WHEN IT'S BEYOND THE SCOPE CONCEALED AREAS: If areas of the home are inaccessible or concealed from the inspectors view, then

an inspection of that area did not take place. 1) Request that any information about any hidden problems be revealed to you about these inaccessible or hidden areas from the seller prior to the close of escrow 2)Return to the property prior to the close of escrow and perform a walk-through inspection of your own after the owner's belongings have been removed 3) If your inspection or information reveals hidden damage or concerns contact a qualified specialist or your inspector for a return visit.

PERMITS/BUILDING CODE If you are concerned about code violations or building permit information

VIOLATIONS: you should: 1) Contract with a company to research permit information available at the

appropriate building and safety office. ) If you have additional concerns with regard to code violations you may contract for a code compliance survey of the

property. A typical home inspection is not such a service.

GEOLOGICAL Soil condition or stability is not determined during this home inspection.

STABILITY: Should you decide to obtain a geological report of the site conditions you might

contact a geological inspection firm through your real estate agent or a nonprofit

association of geotechnical engineers for referral.

STRUCTURAL STABILITY OR Engineering analysis of a building's structure is performed only by a

ENGINEERING ANALYSIS: licensed structural engineer with the use of measurements, calculations,

or other scientific evaluation. Engineering is beyond the scope of a typical home

inspection. To receive an inspection and report on the structure by an engineer,

ask your real estate agent or a non-profit association of structural engineers for

referral.

SEWER BLOCKAGE: Check with the seller for information about the history of the sewer or private waste disposal system. Having a drain service company video review and service the main drain line to be sure it is open and flowing before the close of escrow is recommended on all homes.

RADIO CONTROLLED Numerous devices in homes that are operated with remote controls are not within

DEVICES: the scope of this inspection. For information about these devices we first suggest

that you obtain a list of all the remote controls from the seller. (The operation of

the overhead garage door automatic opener will be tested using the permanent

control button provided in the house or garage.) Many radio controlled devices

have changeable codes which you may want to consider altering for your use or

safety. You may wish to contact the installer or manufacturer for additional

information and evaluation.

REINSPECTION AND Re-inspection's are only performed on items not accessible at the time of original

REPAIRS: inspection or that were unable to be inspected due to utilities not turned on.

Should repairs be necessary we suggest they be performed by appropriate

persons and that work complies with applicable Law, including governmental

permit, inspection, and approval requirements. Buyer should obtain from seller

receipts for Repairs performed by others, a written statement indicating the date of

Repairs performed by Seller and provide Copies of receipts and statements of

seller prior to final verification of condition. (Ref: Residential Purchase Agreement

Form RPA-CA, page 4 item 10.)

MOLD, MILDEW, FUNGUS & Mold, mildew, fungus and other microbial organisms commonly occur in MICROBIAL ORGANISMS: areas that show evidence of or have the potential for leaking, moisture

intrusion and/or inadequate ventilation. The identification of the organisms is beyond the scope of the inspector. Any area or item exhibiting such conditions can be a health hazard to some people. If concerned about this possibility, we recommend further investigation be performed by a Certified Industrial Hygienist to determine if there exists an ongoing climate for incubation or microbial contamination and that steps be taken to eliminate this climate.
