This part of the inspection covers the roof covering, flashings, gutters and downspouts, roof penetrations and vents, skylights, and the exterior of the chimney. The method used to view the roof is noted, since what can be seen from the ground differs from what can be seen on the surface.

• As described in the inspection contract, this is a visual inspection only. Roofing life expectancies vary depending on several factors such as material quality, roof slope, color, sun and weather exposure, ventilation, and workmanship. Any estimates of remaining life are approximations. This assessment of the roof does not preclude the possibility of leaks. Leaks can develop at any time and may depend on rain intensity, wind direction, ice build up, etc. The inspection of the roofing system was limited by (but not restricted to) the following conditions: The entire underside of the roof sheathing is not inspected for evidence of leakage and access to some under-roof areas may be partly or entirely blocked from observation. Evidence of prior leakage may be disguised by interior finishes. We do not inspect antennae, nor the interiors of flues or chimneys which are not readily accessible, nor other installed roof accessories.

The exterior of the home is generally in good condition. The lot drainage was good, taking surface water away from the building. The driveway and walkways appeared serviceable where visible at the time of the inspection.

This part of the inspection covers the exterior wall coverings and trim, eaves, soffits and fascia, entry doors and windows, walkways, driveways and patios, grading and drainage around the building, decks, porches and balconies, and exterior steps and railings. A representative number of windows and doors is examined rather than every one.

• As described in the inspection contract, this is a visual inspection only. The inspection of the exterior was limited by (but not restricted to) the following conditions: A representative sample of exterior components was inspected. Unless otherwise stated, inspection of exterior components like walls, windows, doors, is from ground level. Rain or snow can limit the exterior inspection and deep snow will obscure surface drainage problems as well as possible damage at the bottom of building walls and at foundations. Unless specifically noted in your report we do not inspect screening, shutters, awnings, or similar seasonal accessories, fences, recreational facilities, outbuildings, seawalls, break-walls, and docks. Unless specifically noted in your report we do not inspect geological, geotechnical, or hydrological conditions, nor do we address erosion control and earth stabilization measures. Please also refer to the inspection contract for a detailed explanation of the scope of this inspection.
• A representative sample of windows was operated during the inspection; not every window was tested. Furnishings and window treatments limited access at some locations.

The construction of the home appeared to be good quality where visible. Exterior wall construction is solid masonry. No major defects were observed in the accessible structural components of the house. The inspection did not discover evidence of substantial structural movement.

This part of the inspection covers the foundation, the floor, wall, ceiling and roof structure, and any basement or crawlspace, to the extent each is visible. Structural components behind finished surfaces are not examined, and any portion of the structure that could not be seen is noted.

• As described in the inspection contract, this is a visual inspection only. Assessing the complete structural integrity of a building is beyond the scope of a home inspection. When there are significant structural concerns about the building, an experienced foundation or structural repair contractor and/or a certified professional structural or civil engineer is recommended. Inspection of structural components were limited by (but not restricted to) the following conditions: Structural components concealed behind finished surfaces could not be inspected. Only a representative sampling of visible structural components were inspected. Furniture and/or storage restricted access to some structural components. Home inspections do not, unless specifically stated in your report, provide any engineering or architectural service, nor do they offer an opinion as to the adequacy of any structural system or component.
• The foundation footings and portions of the slab are below grade or beneath floor coverings and are not visible. Evaluation of the foundation is limited to visible and accessible components only.

Adequate heating capacity is provided by the system. The heating system is in generally good condition.

This part of the inspection covers the heating equipment, its distribution through ducts or radiators, venting and combustion air, and the thermostats and controls. The system is operated using its normal controls where conditions allow it to run safely.

• As described in the inspection contract, this is a visual inspection only. The inspection of the heating system is general and not technically exhaustive. A detailed evaluation of the furnace heat exchanger is beyond the scope of this inspection. The inspection was limited by (but not restricted to) the following conditions: While we do check for the presence of a heat source in habitable areas, the adequacy of heat level and heat distribution balance are not determined during a home inspection. (This work requires heat loss calculations and an extensive building survey that is normally performed when the initial heating capacity is selected.) The interiors of flues and chimneys are not inspected except where readily accessible. Furnace heat exchangers are not inspected though we may spot and call to your attention external signs indicating a concern. Unless explicitly stated in your report, electronic air filters, humidifiers, dehumidifiers and solar space heating equipment are not inspected/tested.

The capacity and configuration of the system should be sufficient for the home. The system shows no visible evidence of major defects.

This part of the inspection covers the cooling equipment, its distribution and condensate handling, and any whole-house fan. The system is operated using its normal controls where the outdoor temperature is high enough to do so without risking damage to the equipment.

• As described in the inspection contract, this is a visual inspection only. Air conditioning and Heat Pump systems, like most mechanical components, can fail at any time. The inspection of the cooling system was limited by (but not restricted to) the following conditions: Window mounted air conditioning units are not inspected. The adequacy of cooling supply or distribution is not determined. Unless specifically noted in your report, electronic air cleaners are not inspected.

The plumbing system is in generally good condition. The piping system within the home, for both supply and waste, is a good quality system. The water pressure supplied to the fixtures is reasonably good. A typical drop in flow was experienced when two fixtures were operated simultaneously.

This part of the inspection covers the main water supply and shut-off, the visible supply, drain, waste and vent piping, the water heating equipment, fixtures, faucets and toilets, fuel storage and distribution, and any sump or ejector pump. Piping concealed within walls, floors or the ground is not examined.

• As described in the inspection contract, this is a visual inspection only. The inspection of the plumbing system was limited by (but not restricted to) the following conditions: Portions of the plumbing system concealed by finishes and/or storage (below sinks, etc.), below the structure, and beneath the yard were not inspected. Water supply quality and quantity are not tested. The effect of lead content in solder and/or supply lines is beyond the scope of the inspection. Unless specifically stated in your report, we do not determine whether water supply and waste disposal systems are public or private. Unless specifically noted in your report, we do not inspect the following: clothes washing connections, wells, pumps, or water storage related equipment, water conditioning systems, solar water heating systems, fire and lawn sprinkler systems. We do not operate safety valves or shut-off valves. We do not inspect the interior of flues or chimneys that are not readily accessible.
• The main water shutoff valve was identified but not operated, as turning valves is beyond the scope of this inspection and aged valves can leak or fail when disturbed. All occupants should know the valve location for use in an emergency.
• The temperature and pressure relief (TPR) valve was not operated during this inspection, as older valves frequently fail to reseat and leak after testing. Recommend having the valve tested periodically by a licensed plumbing contractor as part of routine water heater service.

All visible wiring within the home is copper. This is a good quality electrical conductor. The distribution of electricity within the home is good. Generally speaking, the electrical system is in good order. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) devices have been provided in some areas of the home. These devices are extremely valuable, as they offer an extra level of shock protection. All GFCI’s that were tested responded properly. All outlets and light fixtures that were tested operated satisfactorily. The size of the electrical service is sufficient for typical single family needs.

This part of the inspection covers the service entrance and equipment, the main and any sub panels, service grounding and bonding, visible branch wiring, a representative number of receptacles and switches, ground-fault and arc-fault protection, lighting and ceiling fans, and smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. Wiring concealed within finished walls and ceilings is not examined.

• Branch circuit wiring concealed within walls, ceilings, and floors could not be inspected; only visible portions and a representative sampling of devices were evaluated.
• As described in the inspection contract, this is a visual inspection only. The inspection does not include low voltage systems, telephone wiring, intercoms, alarm systems, TV cable, timers or smoke detectors. The inspection of the electrical system was limited by (but not restricted to) the following conditions: Electrical components concealed behind finished surfaces could not be inspected. Only a representative sample of outlets and light fixtures were tested. Furniture and/or storage restricted access to some electrical components. We do not inspect remote control devices unless such are the only control device for equipment. Alarm systems and components, low-voltage wiring systems and components, and ancillary wiring systems and components which are not part of the primary electrical power distribution system are not inspected unless they are explicitly named in your report. We do not measure amperage, voltage, impedance as part of a home inspection.
• A representative number of accessible receptacles were tested; receptacles blocked by furniture, stored items, or appliances were not tested. Recommend testing the remaining receptacles once the home is vacant.

Type

Masonry wood-burning

Chimney type

Masonry, clay liner

This part of the inspection covers the readily accessible and visible portions of the fireplace or stove, the damper, the hearth and surround, and the visible portion of the flue. The full length of a flue cannot be viewed without specialist equipment, so this is not a substitute for a chimney-specific evaluation.

• The adequacy of the fireplace draw cannot be determined during a visual inspection.
• The fireplace was not operated at the time of inspection because the pilot was off or fuel/utilities were unavailable. Operation, draft, and burner performance were not evaluated. Recommend having the unit demonstrated or serviced prior to closing.

Most old homes have relatively low levels of insulation. The down side, of course, is that heating and/or cooling costs are higher. The up side is that these homes tend to be fairly well ventilated. Their natural ability to allow infiltration of outside air actually improves indoor air quality. Improving insulation levels will reduce energy costs; however, the potential benefit should be carefully weighed against the cost of improvements.

This part of the inspection covers the attic access, the insulation and ventilation of unfinished spaces, and the visible framing and sheathing. The type of insulation and its approximate depth are recorded, and any area that could not be entered safely is noted.

• The type and levels of exterior wall insulation type were spot checked only.
• As described in the inspection contract, this is a visual inspection only. The inspection of insulation and ventilation was limited by (but not restricted to) the following conditions: In inspecting insulation we do not disturb vapor barriers. Insulation/ventilation type and levels in concealed areas are not determined. No destructive tests are performed. Any estimates of insulation R values or depths are rough average values. We do not determine indoor air quality. Potentially hazardous materials such as Asbestos and Urea Formaldehyde Foam Insulation (UFFI) are not positively identified. To do so requires a special inspection and laboratory analysis.

The floors of the home are relatively level and walls are relatively plumb. The kitchen cabinetry was of above average quality. The windows have, for the most part, been maintained well.

This part of the inspection covers the walls, ceilings and floors, interior doors, a representative number of windows opened and closed, stairs and railings, and countertops and cabinets. Furnishings and stored belongings are not moved, so surfaces behind them are not examined.

• Minor cosmetic conditions such as scuffs, small nail holes, and typical paint wear are common in occupied homes and are not individually itemized in this report unless they indicate an underlying problem.
• Recent renovations and/or interior painting concealed historical evidence.

This is a convenience search, not a guarantee. Using the equipment names and model numbers recorded at the inspection, we searched the Consumer Product Safety Commission's public recall database on the date of this report. The products searched are listed below. Searches of this kind are sensitive to typographical errors, to how a manufacturer described its own product, and to whether the database could be reached at the time. A recall can exist even when a search returns nothing, and a result that appears may not apply to your equipment. Recalls are also issued continually, so a search made today says nothing about tomorrow. Your inspector offers these results in a best effort to inform you. Verify anything that matters — and check again over time — directly at https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls

All appliances tested responded satisfactorily. The kitchen and laundry areas were well organized. Most of the major appliances were newer units. The appliances were in generally good condition.
