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(2) I noted a wet area in in the soffit. A previous vent connector has been removed and blanked in this area andmay be leaking. Alternately, the hallway bathroom fan discharges into the soffit and may be the source of moisture.I would recommend the fan discharge through the roof via a vent connector. I would recommend furtherinvestigation and repairs by a licensed roofing contractor. These conditions are conducive to wood destroyingorganisms.(3) Wood boring beetle emergence holes and frass indicate an active beetle infestation of two exposed beam endsunder the front eave on the front of the home. I would recommend further evaluation and treatment by a pestspecialist.

1.3 Roof Drainage System(1) Gutter downspout on the back of the home does not adequately carry water away from the foundation. I wouldrecommend a downspout extension to move the water 4 to 6 feet from the foundation.(2) The back gutter is full of tree debris and requires cleaning.

1.5 Asphalt Composition ShingleLight moss growth is evident on a couple areas of the roof. Moss can penetrate joints in the shingles, damageshingles, and cause leaks. Periodic chemical treatment will help prolong the life of the roof.

2. Attic

2.3 Roof Structure VentilationThis vent grill is damaged.

3. Exterior

3.1 DrivewayTree roots have caused significant damage to the driveway.

3.3 General GroundsTrees need to be pruned back away from the house as shown in the photo.

3.4 Exterior TrimRight trim board on front of garage has developed rot due to inadequate clearance to grade. I would recommendreplacement and repair of damage area, repainting and sealing end-grain. These conditions are further conducive towood destroying organisms.

3.6 Exterior StairsA hand-rail is recommend for this section of stairs for improved safety.

3.7 Chimney Structure/Exterior



Chimney requires periodic cleaning to keep mortar in good condition.

4. Wall Exteriors

4.3 Exterior Wall MembraneExterior front door jamb requires caulking.

6. Electrical

6.8 Service Panel Cabinet, Ampacity, and CoverA blank is required to be installed in the void as a result of the removed breaker to prevent inadvertant access andelectrical hazard.

6.9 Service Panel WiringMultiple spare breakers are installed and should be labeled accordingly at the panel. These breakers areunnecessarily energized.

6.21 Carbon Monoxide DetectorsNo carbon monoxide detector was installed in the first floor. Carbon monoxide alarms must be located outside ofeach separate sleeping area, in the immediate vicinity of the bedroom and on each level of the residence. Install inaccordance with manufactures recommend guidance or hire a licensed contractor for proper installation.

Reference WAC 51-51-315: http://apps.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=51-51-0315

8. Interior

8.5 Doors(1) Front door dead-bolt lock actuator is installed upside down.

(2) Door to first floor living area has been temporarily installed. The latch does not cleanly latch.

(3) I would recommend installing floor mounted door guides for all sliding closet doors throughout the home toprevent inadvertant dislodging of the hanging doors.(4) Master bedroom requires an operational and graspable door knob for rapid egress during an emergency. I wouldfurther recommend removing the deadbolt.

9. Plumbing

9.1 Source of WaterPlease note, the main water cutoff is in first floor closet under the stairs.

9.4 Gas Water HeaterHot water temperature at the sink was measured at 127 deg F. I would recommend adjusting the hot-water heaterto deliver 120 deg F water to reduce the risk of scalding.

10. Heating

10.1 Furnace



Furnace is 2014 model. I did not note any recent service records. I would recommend servicing by a heatingcontractor and annually thereafter.

10.2 Fuel, Piping and SupportGas piping in garage is inadequately supported. Piping should be supported every 4 feet.

10.5 Fireplace1. Flue damper lever arm may be damaged (excess movement side-to-side). Damper was functional when

tested.2. Some of the metal liner at the edge of the chimney has previous rust damage, but otherwise appears to be

intact. Chimney rain-caps have been installed to prevent water from penetrating the chimney in the future.3. Soot in chimney appears heavy, I would recommend the chimney cleaned by a chimney sweep in the

future. A vent opening on the outside of the chimney is unusual, I would have this inspected by yourchimney professional when you have it swept.

11. Bathrooms

11.10 ToiletMaster bathroom toilet is slightly loose, recommend adjusting to minimize the chance of a leak developing.

12. Kitchen and Built-in Appliances

12.13 DishwasherDishwasher anti-siphon vent appears to be capped without vent holes. I would recommend verifying this is in factthe vent and then modifying the cap such that a vent path is established.

Please note this section is not all-inclusive, please read the complete report.




Future Improvements

1. Roof

1.0 Roof Structure Exterior(1) Exposed beams at gable roof ends would benefit from flashing to protect these from the weather. Beams areshowing signs of distress from long-term exposure to the weather.

1.2 Roof FlashingNo drip flashing is installed at the roof edge to protect the sheathing ends from moisture and subsequent rot.Consider adding drip edging in the future, please consult a roofing contractor for options and cost.

6. Electrical

6.6 Service Panel ManufacturerThis electrical panel is an older split panel style panel no longer manufactured. Consider upgrading to a modernsingle isolation breaker panel in the future.

6.16 GFCI/AFCI Electrical ReceptaclesNo ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection of home electrical receptacles was provided in the garage at thetime of inspection. Although GFCI protection may not have been required at the time the home was built, Irecommend that electrical receptacles located in basements, crawlspaces, garages, the home exterior, and interiorreceptacles located within 6 feet of a plumbing fixture be provided with ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)protection for improved electrical safety.

12. Kitchen and Built-in Appliances

12.14 Additional KitchenAppliances are in good working order, however older models. A home warranty that covers appliances would be agood investment.

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.

Exterior front door jamb requirescaulking.



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

The plumbing in the home was inspected and reported on with the above information. Washing machine drain line for example cannot be checked forleaks or the ability to handle the volume during drain cycle. Older homes with galvanized supply lines or cast iron drain lines can be obstructed andbarely working during an inspection but then fails under heavy use. If the water is turned off or not used for periods of time (like a vacant home waitingfor closing) rust or deposits within the pipes can further clog the piping system. Any repair items mentioned in this report should be considered beforepurchase. It is recommended that qualified contractors be used in your further inspection or repair issues as it relates to the comments in thisinspection report.

Hot water temperature at the sinkwas measured at 127 deg F. I wouldrecommend adjusting the hot-waterheater to deliver 120 deg F water toreduce the risk of scalding.



10. HeatingHeating system inspection will not be as comprehensive as that performed by a qualified heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systemcontractor. For example: identification of cracked heat exchangers requires a contractor evaluation. Report comments are limited to identification ofcommon requirements and deficiencies. Observed indications that further evaluation is needed will result in referral to a qualified HVAC contractor.The general home inspection does not include any type of heating system warranty or guaranty. Inspection of heating systems is limited to basicevaluation based on visual examination and operation using normal controls. Report comments are limited to identification of common requirementsand deficiencies. Observed indications that further evaluation is needed will be referred to a qualified heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC)contractor. Inspection of heating systems typically includes (limited) operation and visual inspection of: the heating appliance (confirmation ofadequate response to the call for heat); proper heating appliance location; proper or adequate heating system configuration; exterior cabinetcondition; fuel supply configuration and condition; combustion exhaust venting; heat distribution components; proper condensation discharge; andtemperature/pressure relief valve and discharge pipe (presence, condition, and configuration).

1. Flue damper lever arm may be damaged (excess movement side-to-side). Damper was functionalwhen tested.

2. Some of the metal liner at the edge of the chimney has previous rust damage, but otherwise appearsto be intact. Chimney rain-caps have been installed to prevent water from penetrating the chimney inthe future.

3. Soot in chimney appears heavy, I would recommend the chimney cleaned by a chimney sweep in thefuture. A vent opening on the outside of the chimney is unusual, I would have this inspected by yourchimney professional when you have it swept.
