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
1.3 Roof Drainage SystemA single downspout services the front of the roof. This may be insufficient during periods of heavy rain. Generallyspeaking, a down-spout is recommended every 35 to 40 feet of gutter. A second downspout drainpipe is installedat the front porch edge as shown.
Consider installing a second downspout.
1.6 Asphalt Composition ShingleOriginal Asphalt roof is in good condition. Monitor the shingles on the front porch roof, as they are more visiblywarn, perhaps from the concentration of heat and sun on this exposure.
3. Exterior
3.3 General GroundsShrubbery is too close to the house. Contact can cause incidental damage, moisture damage and provide a egresspath for insects and pests. Recommend trimming back the bushes back from the walls, 6 inches to 1 ft clearance isideal.
5. Structure
5.4 Crawlspace(1) A section of un-insulated ventilation ducting requires insulation. Condensation was noticeable.
(2) Unused insulated ducting in corner can become a haven for rodents. Recommend removing.
6. Electrical
6.12 Exterior Electrical ReceptaclesThe exterior outlet next to the septic tank panel was not functional. Recommend troubleshoot and repair by alicensed 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

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.

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.
