a technically exhaustive inspection of the structure, its systems, or its components and may not reveal all deficiencies;
an inspection to verify compliance with any building codes;
an inspection to verify compliance with manufacturer’s installation instructions for any system or component and DOES NOT
imply insurability or warrantability of the structure or its components.
Conditions may be present in your home that did not violate building codes or common practices in effect when the home was
constructed but are considered hazardous by today’s standards. Such conditions that were part of the home prior to the
adoption of any current codes prohibiting them may not be required to be updated to meet current code requirements.
However, if it can be reasonably determined that they are present at the time of the inspection, the potential for injury or
property loss from these conditions is significant enough to require inspectors to report them as Deficient (D). Examples of
such hazardous conditions include:
malfunctioning, improperly installed or missing ground fault circuit protection (GFCI) devices and arc-fault devices;
ordinary glass in locations where modern construction techniques call for safety glass;
malfunctioning or lack of fire safety features such as, smoke alarms, fire-rated doors in certain locations, and functional
emergency escape and rescue openings in bedrooms;
malfunctioning carbon monoxide alarms;
excessive spacing between balusters on stairways and porches;
improperly installed appliances;
improperly installed or defective safety devices;
lack of electrical bonding and grounding; and
lack of bonding on gas piping, including corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST).
Please Note: items identified as Deficient (D) in an inspection report DO NOT obligate any party to make repairs or take other
actions. The decision to correct a hazard or any deficiency identified in an inspection report is left up to the parties to the
contract for the sale or purchase of the home.
This property inspection report may include an inspection agreement (contract), addenda, and other information related to
property conditions.
Mold/Mildew investigations are NOT included with this report; it is beyond the scope of this inspection at the present time. Any
reference of water intrusion is recommended that a professional investigation be obtained.
NOTICE: THIS REPORT IS PAID FOR BY AND PREPARED FOR THE CLIENT NAMED ABOVE.
THIS REPORT IS NOT VALID WITHOUT THE SIGNED SERVICE AGREEMENT AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE.

Notice: Life expectancy of the roofing material is not covered by this property inspection report. If any
concerns exist about the roof covering life expectancy or potential for future problems, a roofing specialist
should be consulted. The Inspector cannot offer an opinion or warranty as to whether the roof has leaked in
the past, leaks now, or may be subject to future leaks, either expressed or implied. The inspection of this
roof may show it to be functioning as intended or in need of minor repairs. This inspection does not
determine the insurability of the roof.
You are strongly encouraged to have your Insurance Company physically inspect the roof, prior to closing,
to fully evaluate the insurability of the roof.
