General Property Overview: Overall Findings Pre-Purchase Inspections
Informational, Please Read:
All homes need periodic repairs and maintenance every year, both expected and unexpected. We recommend you budget for these items, in addition to elective repairs and immediate repairs Be sure to read the entire report to identify potentially expensive future repairs, safety issues, and upgrades. The report is intended to give you an idea of the overall condition and types of repairs needed, rather than a comprehensive list of all defects in your home You may notice additional defects that have not been addressed during the inspection or re ected in the inspection report once you move in.
It is not uncommon for systems to fail between the inspection, purchase and move in, especially in a vacant house. On your nal walkthrough, be sure to run all the appliances again and check to make sure the HVAC is operating adequately. Look for new leaks in the ceilings upstairs, below all baths, under sinks and along interior and exterior wall lines Test all the plumbing xtures again to verify no leaks have started and all drains are still operational since the inspection.
Home Warranty Recommended:
We recommend purchasing a one year warranty based on the age of some of the mechanical systems and the likelihood for future repairs or replacements If systems are in need of repair at this time of inspection or are very old, we strongly recommend service before settlement/purchase to help prevent the warranty company from calling it a pre-existing condition and denying coverage

Fatal Shock Hazard Warning: Inspecting electrical components and systems risks death by electrocution as well as serious burns or other injuries to the inspector or to others. Do not attempt these tasks unless you are properly trained and equipped.
Electrical System is a "LIMITED VISUAL AND NON-INVASIVE INSPECTION of the SYSTEMS of the structure that are REASONABLY ACCESSIBLE." Features are operated with normal controls. The general wiring, switches, outlets and xtures are randomly checked in accessible areas Wiring in the main box is inspected by removing cover if accessible and safe for inspector to remove. While some observations may be code related, this inspection does not determine if the system complies with code The inspection does not determine electrical capacity, determine over current capacity for any item including appliances or compare circuit breaker capacity to installed appliance rating. Also excluded are interior or exterior low voltage wiring landscape lighting or any lighting outside the footprint of the building is not inspected. Light bulbs are not removed or changed during an inspection. It is common for homes to have extra wall switches that serve no purpose, these switches may be for future upgrades such as ceiling fans or they may be connected to a switched wall receptacle typically used to plug in a lamp. The current home owner is the best person to ask regarding wall switches and there purpose This inspection does not certify or warrant the system to be free of risk of re, electrocution, personal injury or death. Any recommendations about electrical throughout this report should be immediately further evaluated before the end of your inspection contingency period and the close of escrow by a quali ed licensed professional electrician.
A representative number of (outlets) receptacles and switches are tested at time of inspection, occupied homes limit testing of many receptacles and switches because personal items and or furnishings are blocking or concealing them. You may nd a (outlet) receptacle or switch that is inoperative or damaged when storage and furnishings have been removed when you move in. In the event you nd a defective or damaged switch or receptacle you should contact a quali ed licensed electrical professional immediately for repair or replacing Fixtures, Switches and Receptacle Information: Switches and xtures were tested for serviceability. A representative number of receptacles throughout the home were tested with a polarity tester to con rm proper wiring. No wiring de ciencies were reported by the tester unless otherwise noted in this report.

All Terms and Limitations: Plumbing Inspection Terms and Limitations
Plumbing Inspection Description: PLUMBING SYSTEM is a "LIMITED VISUAL AND NON-INVASIVE INSPECTION of the SYSTEMS of the home that are REASONABLY ACCESSIBLE." While some plumbing observation may be code related, this inspection does not determine if the system complies with code Main water supply shut o valve and any other valves such as angle stop valves by toilets and under sinks are not turned on or o by inspector or tested although we will mention if we observe corrosion or potential leak issues with these valves Plumbing supply and waste lines are inspected only where they are accessible and visible while operating accessible xtures and drains Performance of the water ow can vary during di erent times of the day and performance of the drain during actual usage is undetermined
Be Advised: It is recommended to have any underground drain/sewer lines examined by sewer camera inspection (Additional Inspection Service) to visually inspect the condition of the pipes and identify any blockages, root intrusions or breaks A sewer main line inspection is not included in the scope of this general home inspection and is speci cally excluded unless you ordered this additional inspection. Determining if a building is connected to city sewer or a septic tank is speci cally excluded from this general home inspection and will not be commented on
Limitations:Evaluation of plumbing is limited to what is able to be viewed. Although we identify certain types of plumbing material, we are not able to see all enclosed plumbing supply pipes
The following plumbing components are speci cally excluded from this general inspection: inaccessible supply or waste lines such as vertical runs in walls, underground pipes in a slab foundation or a inaccessible crawl space, the interior of pipes for mineral or corrosive clogging, water hammering, solar equipment or water temperature, and the condition of shower pans or if a shower will leak when used No water testing of any type is performed The gas system is not tested for leaks and any underground or hidden gas lines are speci cally excluded from this report. Gas Seismic valves are not evaluated for correct size or connection, or function Determining the operation of sewer ejection systems is excluded from this inspection and it should be examined by a quali ed licensed specialist.
All Terms and Limitations: HVAC System Inspection Terms and Limitations
Heating and Cooling System: HVAC SYSTEM Is a "LIMITED VISUAL AND NON-INVASIVE INSPECTION of the SYSTEMS of the structure that are REASONABLY ACCESSIBLE " (HVAC) is short for Heating Ventilation And Air Conditioning Observations may be code related, this inspection does not determine if the system complies with code Weather permitting the systems is operated with normal controls (Thermostat). In order not to damage the system, the air conditioners are not activated if the out door temperatures below 65 degrees the day before inspection Gas furnaces are not checked for carbon monoxide leakage or re risks. There are carbon monoxide and re detection devices, which can be purchased and installed, which we strongly recommend Air ducts and registers are randomly checked for air ow, Heat exchangers are speci cally excluded from the inspection as they are visually obstructed by design of the system and a complete inspection requires special tools and disassembly, which is beyond the scope of this inspection The following items are outside the scope of the inspection; balance of the air ow, capacity or velocity of the air ow, humidi ers, air duct cleanliness, the ability of the system to heat or cool evenly, the presence of toxic or hazardous material or asbestos, system refrigerant levels, cooling or heating capacity to determine if its su cient size for the building Window AC units are not built in and are not inspected or commented
Informational: The average e cient life of a residential heating and cooling system that has been properly maintained is 15 years After 15 years the unit will still operate, but it's operating e ciency slowly dwindles When the system is between 15-20 years of age the system can lose up to 40% of its e ciency.
NOTE: The air conditioning side of system typical serviceable life expectancy is 15-20 years, the heating side of system typical serviceable life expectancy is 20-30 yrs These conditions may vary from home to home because of deferred maintenance of systems which is common in most homes HVAC systems require annual service by a quali ed licensed HVAC professional.
Be Advised: (Example) If your property was inspected in the summer months and the AC was working at the time of inspection however the furnace had de ciencies and you were recommended to have HVAC system further evaluated (Or Vice-Versa) I recommend you have the entire system further evaluated immediately by a quali ed licensed professional before the end of your inspection contingency period and the close of escrow

We recommend that you test your own water supply in the laundry room, both hot and cold, prior to nal close of escrow, since this component is excluded from our inspections
NOTE: Recommend that the lint vent be cleaned annually to avoid buildup of lint and potential re hazard.
General Info: We recommend to replace your old rubber washing lines. Replacement of washer hoses is probably one of our leading recommendations to reduce the potential for loss We recommend the stainless steel braided lines As rubber ages, it loses its exibility After being subjected to water hammer over and over for many years, the rubber washing machine hose is eventually going to fail, with potential for heavy water damage Here are a few suggestions to lower the risk of your washing machine hoses suddenly bursting
1 Turn o the water supply when not in use Washing machine manufacturers actually tell you to do this in their installation instructions.
2 Replace your old rubber hoses regularly At least very ve years
3 Install an emergency shuto kit You can purchase an emergency shuto kit, such as the type sold by Floodstop, which will almost surely prevent any type of catastrophic leak These devices come with a water sensor, so if a leak is detected, an alarm goes o and the water supply valves automatically close These kits are battery powered, and according to the web site, can be installed in about 10 minutes
4 Install stainless steel braided hoses This is the simple advice that we usually give during home inspections Stainless steel braided hoses are much more resistant to bursting, and they're fairly inexpensive. You can buy a pair on Amazon for under $17 Link below

All Terms and Limitations: Bathroom Terms and Limitations
Informational: The BATHROOM SYSTEM is a "LIMITED VISUAL AND NON-INVASIVE INSPECTION of the SYSTEMS of the structure that are REASONABLY ACCESSIBLE." Bathrooms are inspected in a cursory fashion, however each accessible xture is operated to test its function and visually inspected to determine its current condition Determining whether shower pans, tub/shower surrounds are watertight or have any hidden rot or other damage is beyond the scope of this inspection and is speci cally excluded It is very important to maintain all grouting and caulking in the bath areas. Minor grout or caulking imperfections can allow water to get into the wall or oor areas and cause damage. Proper ongoing maintenance is always required whenever there is contact of water with various materials Determining if toilets or shower heads are in compliance with current water conservation laws is outside the scope of this home inspection
All Terms and Limitations: Water Heater Inspection and Limitations
Water heater information and limitations: The Water heater(s) was visually inspected in order to ensure proper installation and that no leaks, rust, or corrosion were present. The temperature of the water was also checked to ensure the water heater was functioning properly The recommended temperature for a water heater is at least 120 degrees F to kill microbes and no higher than 130 degrees F to prevent scalding. Any defects are noted below.
Evaluation of and determining the adequacy or completeness of the following items are not included in this inspection: water recirculation pumps; solar water heating systems; Energy Smart or energy saver controls; catch pan drains Any comments made regarding these items are as a courtesy only Note that the inspector does not provide an estimate of remaining life on water heaters, does not determine if water heaters are appropriately sized, or perform any evaluations that require a pilot light to be lit or a shut-o valve to be operated

All Terms and Limitations: Smoke Detector/Carbon Monoxide Detector Inspection Terms
Smoke detectors were tested and found in working condition at time of inspection unless otherwise noted below
Beginning July 1, 2014, California Senate Bill 745 requires that all solely battery-operated smoke alarms and combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarms installed in California must contain a non-replaceable, non-removable (Lithium) battery that is capable of powering the smoke alarm for a minimum of 10 years. The requirement does not apply to any alarms that are hard-wired
NOTE: The NFPA states - Smoke detectors/alarms should be located inside each bedroom, outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement On levels without bedrooms, install alarms in the living room (or den or family room) or near the stairway to the upper level, or in both locations.
Carbon monoxide detectors/Alarm were tested and found in working condition at time of inspection unless otherwise noted below.
NOTE: At a minimum, industry experts recommend a CO alarm be installed on each level of the home -- ideally on any level with fuel burning appliances and outside of sleeping areas Additional CO alarms are recommended 5-20 feet from sources of CO such as a furnace, water heater or replace. Alarms can alert you to a problems only after smoke or carbon monoxide reach their sensors
Where to place them: Because carbon monoxide is slightly lighter than air and also because it may be found with warm, rising air, detectors should be placed on a wall at least 5 feet above the oor The detector may also be placed on the ceiling. Do not place the detector right next to or over a replace or ame-producing appliance. Choose locations free of obstructions, where the alarm will stay clean and protected from adverse environmental conditions Do not place the unit in dead air spaces or next to a window or door.
All Terms and Limitations: Stairway Inspection Terms and Limitations
Interior stairway inspected. Stairway checked for proper rise, tread, hand railing, and baluster separation. We found this component to be serviceable at time of inspection unless otherwise noted in report

LAWN IRRIGATION SYSTEMS EXCLUDED FROM GENERAL HOME INSPECTION
Exterior Grounds Note: Lawn irrigation systems and components are outside the scope of this general home inspection and are not tested or operated and are speci cally excluded from this inspection. If you have questions or concerns regarding the operation of this system it is recommended to contact a quali ed licensed contractor for further evaluation.
All Terms and Limitations OCCUPIED/FURNISHED HOME
661 Loran Way Scott Woodburn FOCUS Inspection Authority Page 17 of 139
LIMITATIONS
Informational Limitations: If your home is occupied or furnished during the time of inspection, it can limit the inspectors visual inspection in regards to oors, walls, windows or doors due to storage and furnishings as well as closet's and cupboards Floors and walls may have damage that is concealed to inspector because home is occupied Exterior walls can have the same visible limitations caused by storage commonly found at a occupied home. The garage is commonly lled with excessive storage so walls and oors are typically covered and can not be seen by inspector. You may nd issues with walls, oors or cabinets when the home is emptied. Recommend contacting a professional right away to further evaluate any material defects found.
When an ITEM is NOT ACCESSIBLE = This item was NOT accessible and therefore NOT inspected The inspector makes no representations of whether or not such an item was functioning as intended or not. The INSPECTOR is not responsible for items that can not be examined. An example of why something would not be accessible would be blockage by furniture or personal items, locked or concealment. If critical to the home purchase decision, we recommend subsequent follow-up by a licensed and quali ed tradesperson or a re-inspection by the Home Inspector (Re-Inspection fee applies) prior to closing when the property is vacant and more visible
If a Component is OBSTRUCTED FROM VIEW: = This item was obstructed from view and therefore NOT inspected. The inspector makes no representations of whether or not such an item was present or present and functioning as intended or not The INSPECTOR is not responsible for items that can not be examined because it was obstructed from view
This can occur more so in an occupied home then one that is vacant. Many times, moving boxes, displaced personal items and general disorder that accompanies a move can conceal, hide and prevent an INSPECTOR from discovering defects in attics, garages, cabinets and closets. A less obvious example of why something would be obstructed from view would be in the attic due to insulation or other coverings or restricted access due to low head space for safe passage

General: Inspection Method
Drone
Roo ng System Comments: The ROOFING SYSTEM is a "LIMITED VISUAL AND NON-INVASIVE INSPECTION of the SYSTEMS of the structure that are REASONABLY ACCESSIBLE." It has been inspected at a time when it was not raining. Since one of the purposes of the roof is to repel water this could not be observed and veri ed as occurring in all cases Therefore the roof has not been tested under wet conditions and how it performs in these conditions is unknown
NOTE: This visual roof inspection is not intended as a warranty or an estimate on the remaining life of the roof; and portions of the roof may not be visible due to solar panel array if present at time of inspection No warranty is made that roof system will not leak when it is under a wet condition.
RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE: Roo ng requires periodic maintenance where pipe stacks penetrate roof top and where metal ashings are present between walls and roof as well as where chimneys penetrate roof Over time the sun dries out the sealant and causes it to crack creating open seams which can allow moisture intrusion into structure. In addition, roof tiles can crack, become loose or slide overtime due to wind, debris or maintenance walks Checking the condition of these areas on a annual basis is recommended and especially after high wind storms
Coverings: Material
Concrete, Tile
How old is my Roof ? is the most commonly asked question.
The inspector or roo ng professional can only guess the age of the roof at best, unfortunately roo ng materials do not come with data tags indicating the age or date of installation
The most accurate way is to nd out the date of the roo ng permit if there is one, but not all jurisdictions require building permits for roof replacement and sometimes the homeowner has the roof replaced without a permit Or ask for disclosure from the seller or current owner if they know when the roof was installed.
Coverings: Ceramic/Clay/Concrete Roof Tiles
Information Only: Ceramic/Concrete roof tiles are a perfect option for low slope and pitched roofs. Highly durable, roof tiles have the lowest life cycle cost and they stand the test of time more than any other roo ng material
Excellent re resistance properties make clay/concrete roof tiles a very popular choice In general, a cared for and well maintained tile roof can last 50 years, although there are buildings in Europe whose tile roofs have lasted for centuries Tile roofs exceed all other types of roo ng materials for longevity
Roof Slope and Pitch: Roof Slope and Pitch
INFORMATIONAL: Please note that, according to the International Standards of Practice for Performing a General Home Inspection, the inspector is not required to measure the slope of the roof. Therefore, the information provided in this section is courtesy only.
Both pitch and slope indicate the incline of a roof, expressed as a proportion of the vertical to the horizontal. Picture provided
The slope of a roof a ects how roof systems are installed, including dictating which type of roof-covering material can be applied, Therefore, understanding the slope of a roof may be valuable information for the home owner or perspective buyer.
Penetrations/Plumbing Vents: General Photos
661 Loran Way Scott Woodburn FOCUS Inspection Authority Page 20 of 139
Penetrations/Plumbing Vents: Roof Penetrations/Plumbing Vent Pipes
Roof Penetrations, such as Furnace, Plumbing Vents and Stove Vents, were inspected by drone close up and appeared to be serviceable at time of inspection unless otherwise noted below.
Plumbing Vent Pipes: The plumbing vent, also known as a vent stack, helps regulate the air pressure in your plumbing system. Just as drain pipes remove water and waste from your home, the plumbing vent pipe also known as a plumbing air vent removes gas and odors It also allows fresh air into the plumbing system to help water ow smoothly through the drain pipes. However, no water runs through the plumbing vent pipe. It is a vertical pipe attached to a drain line and runs through the roof of your home The vent stack is the pipe leading to the main roof vent. It channels the exhaust gases to the vent and helps maintain proper atmospheric pressure in the waste system. Vent pipes were inspected and found in serviceable condition at time of inspection unless otherwise noted below
Flashings: Material
Aluminum
Roof Flashing Information & Limitations : LMT - Visible portions of the ashings were inspected looking for signi cant de ciencies (drip edge, sidewall, headwall, counter, step, etc - as applicable). Typically most areas of ashings are not visible as they are covered by the roof covering material and/or the wall cladding (as applicable), and these areas are excluded from this inspection. Therefore functionality has to be determined by looking for moisture intrusion on ceilings where the ashing was presumed to be in place, or on the roof decking from within the attic (as accessible) No reportable conditions were observed at visible portions, at the time of inspection, unless otherwise noted in this report.

661 Loran Way Scott Woodburn FOCUS Inspection Authority Page 21 of 139
Chimneys: General Photos
Chimneys: Chimney Above Roof & Cap/Rain Covering
The Inspector observed the condition of the visible portions of the chimney that extended above the roof at the time of inspection. Inspection of this portion of the chimney includes evaluation of the following: chimney exterior; cap; spark arrestor; visible ue; cricket; and location on the roof
All appeared to be in serviceable condition at time of inspection unless otherwise noted below.
Skylights: Skylight Present
One or more skylights were present in the residence All appeared to be serviceable at time of inspection unless otherwise noted.
Solar Panels: Solar Panels Present
Inspection and operation of solar panels is outside of the scope of practice for our home inspector. These panels are usually inspected and/or replaced, and at times maintained by a solar panel company upon request as it is a specialty install and the panels carry their own warranty separate from other roof coverings. Observations on this item may be provided by the inspector if an irregularity in the panels are noticed Maintenance of Solar Panels - The dustier your area, the more frequent inspection is recommended This ensures that dirt, grime, bird droppings and debris do not block the sun from e cient absorption by the panels

GENERAL ROOF LIMITATIONS
661 Loran Way Scott Woodburn FOCUS Inspection Authority Page 22 of 139
Roof limitations: The following items or areas are not included in this inspection: areas that could not be traversed or viewed clearly due to lack of access; solar roo ng components. Any comments made regarding these items are made as a courtesy only Note that the inspector does not provide an estimate of remaining life on the roof surface material, nor guarantee that leaks have not occurred in the roof surface, skylights or roof penetrations in the past. Regarding roof leaks, only active leaks, visible evidence of possible sources of leaks, and evidence of past leaks observed during the inspection are reported on as part of this inspection. The inspector does not guarantee or warrant that leaks will not occur in the future. Complete access to all roof and attic spaces during all seasons and during prolonged periods of all types of weather conditions (e g high wind and rain, melting snow) would be needed to do so Occupants should monitor the condition of roo ng materials in the future For older roofs, recommend that a professional inspect the roof surface, ashings, appurtenances, etc. annually and maintain/repair as might be required. If needed, the roofer should enter attic space(s). Regarding the roof drainage system, unless the inspection was conducted during and after prolonged periods of heavy rain, the inspector was unable to determine if gutters, downspouts and extensions perform adequately or are leak-free.
This is a visual-only inspection of the roof-covering materials It does not include an inspection of the entire system. There are components of the roof that are not visible or accessible at all, including the underlayment, decking, fastening, ashing, age, shingle quality, manufacturer installation recommendations, etc.

General: Exterior Terms
Exterior information: The exterior of a home requires constant general maintenance and cleaning An inspection is visual and non-evasive only and therefore not every square inch can been seen or inspected. It is up to the home owner to keep up on regular maintenance Some maintenance items include but are not limited to caulking/sealing of siding, trim, windows, and doors, keeping gutters cleaned, washing the home, proper draining of downspouts etc.. When it comes to caulking/sealing, this is something that should be monitored and repaired or replaced as necessary There are many areas of the home that require caulk/sealant Caulk/sealant will dry out overtime due to constant temperature changes in the weather. If not properly maintained these are areas that can let water into the home and begin to deteriorate the structure While there could be areas listed in your report that need caulked or sealed, be advised that it might not be every area of the home that needs it. Some maintenance items can be done DIY and others might need to be done by quali ed contractors
The exterior of your home is slowly deteriorating and aging The sun, wind, rain and temperatures are constantly a ecting it. Your job is to monitor the buildings exterior for its condition and weathertightness.
Check the condition of all exterior materials and look for developing patterns of damage or deterioration
During a heavy rainstorm (without lightning), grab an umbrella and go outside Walk around your house and look around at the roof and property A rainstorm is the perfect time to see how the roof, downspouts and grading are performing. Observe the drainage patterns of your entire property, as well as the property of your neighbor. The ground around your house should slope away from all sides Downspouts, surface gutters and drains should be directing water away from the foundation.
Siding, Flashing & Trim: Siding Material
Stucco, Wood Trim, Wood, Brick
The wall siding and/or wall cladding were inspected looking for signi cant damage, presence of proper ashings, and potential water entry points, etc. No reportable de ciencies were visibly present at the time of inspection unless otherwise noted in this report.
Siding, Flashing & Trim: Wood Siding and/or Trim Information
Wood Siding and Trim Information : FYI - Wood siding or wood trim was present on this home, and wood components require diligent maintenance including caulking and sealing/painting as a part of routine maintenance to prevent water related damage. No de ciencies were found unless otherwise noted below.
Siding, Flashing & Trim: Stucco Siding Information
Your home has a Stucco Exterior Cladding: Stucco or Portland Cement Plaster, is a low-cost, strong, and durable nish. It can be used in a wide variety of climates. It is versatile and can be applied to concrete, concrete masonry, brick, wood frame, or steel frame It is re resistant and color retentive The stucco plaster is usually applied as a twoor three-part coating directly onto masonry, or over wood or metal lath to a wood frame structure. It does require maintenance watch, especially with contraction and expansion of new home applications We inspected for excessive cracking or chipping of the stucco between 1/16-1/8" width as well as any sign of spalling of the cladding. We found that the stucco was in serviceable condition unless otherwise noted below.

Their are many reasons why gutters and downspouts are necessary for proper roof drainage If the soil around the foundation is soaked from roof drainage water, we can assume that at least some of that moisture will nd its way into the basement, crawl space or the concrete oor Some of this moisture will then be absorbed by the air in the home If this occurs in the winter time, we can assume that the warmed air in the home will absorb a great deal of moisture (warm air can absorb more moisture than cold air). If this moisture saturated air nds itself into some spaces with cold surfaces - and it will, then some of this moisture will condense against these cold surfaces This can happen at windows, attic plywood and inside exterior walls, etc.
A good gutter & downspout system helps to control the amount of water and moisture that gets into a structure. And that, in combination with various types of venting system, can prevent the damage from trapped moisture It is also important to keep the gutters and down spouts clear from debris which may not allow roof water from reaching drainage on the ground Buildings surrounded by large trees that may overhanging/touching the buildings roof should be trimmed back as this can lead to poor roof drainage

Gutters and Downspouts: Gutters & Downspouts Inspected
Gutters Information: The gutters were inspected looking for proper securement, debris in the channel, standing water, damage, etc. Leaking gutters can not be diagnosed if an active rain was not occurring at the time of inspection, and if leaks are noticed after taking ownership of the property, sealing or repairs may be needed at seams or endcaps No de ciencies were visibly present at the time of inspection unless otherwise noted in this report.
Downspouts Information: The downspouts were inspected to ensure they were diverting rainwater away from the structure. Testing for blockages in downspouts or drainpipes is beyond the scope of a home inspection, as is locating their termination point No de ciencies were present at visible portions at the time of inspection, unless otherwise noted in this report.
Recommend Maintaining Gutters: It is recommended to periodically clean debris from the guttering channels to prevent downspouts from clogging Clogs in downspouts can allow the gutters to over ow; damaging roof sheathing, fascia boards, and saturating grounds at the foundation.

Vegetation, Grading, & Drainage: Grading, Slope, Lot Drainage
Grading / Lot Drainage: The grading around the home was inspected to determine that it was designed to allow rainwater to adequately drain away from the structure. The soil is recommended to slope away from the home, with a 6 inch drop in elevation, in the rst 10 feet away from the structure (5% grade) When the 5% grade can not be achieved, swales or drains should be used as needed to properly divert rainwater runo . Any at or low areas around the home should be back lled and sloped away from the foundation, to prevent potential moisture in ltration into areas below grade No reportable de ciencies were observed at the time of inspection unless otherwise noted in this report.

Slab Foundation
SLAB ON GRADE LIMITATIONS
Concrete Slab Information and Limitations If Present: Building constructed on top of a concrete slab over earth, with no crawl space underneath Concrete is known to typically develop cracks due to expansion & contraction and or poor compaction of soil below, poor drainage adjacent to structure can also contribute to slab or foundation issues so it is expected some cracking would be found if the concrete were exposed to view by removing interior ooring. By the nature of slab construction the structure would be bolted to this concrete slab per the building standards at the time of construction. Bolting is typically not visible in slab construction as it is inside the wood frame walls that are covered with drywall and siding
A concrete slab is a common structural element of modern buildings. Horizontal slabs of steel reinforced concrete, typically between 4 and 20 inches (100 and 500 millimeters) thick, are most often used to construct oors in residential structures, while thinner slabs are also used for exterior driveways and walkways
NOTE: Full interior slab was not visible at the time of inspection due to tile, carpet or other oor coverings unless otherwise noted below.
NOTE: Conditions of any utilities within or under a slab-on-grade, such as water/gas plumbing or ductwork are not within the scope of a professional home inspection
Crawlspace RAISED FOUNDATION
LIMITATIONS
Raised Foundation Information and Limitations If present : The crawl space limited visual inspection: There are many obstacles present under a home with a raised foundation Some crawl space Access points were not built large enough for a person to enter which is common in older buildings over 50 years old, Minimum Access Opening Size is( 24" wide x 16" Tall) for the average size person to enter. Floor support beams in crawl space are some times lower than minimum requirement of (12" between bottom of beam and soil oor) making access under beams impossible. Also low hanging plumbing & low hanging electrical wires also prevent access in some areas ( this is typically a sign of poor installation of plumbing and wiring) Many times a large amount of debris is present under homes from prior repairs or remodeling that makes it unsafe for inspector, this debris should be removed, large water leaks and ponding water under home will also prevent the inspector from entering for safety reasons.

Modern standards call for at least 13 SEER rating for new install Read more on energy e cient air conditioning at Energy.gov.
How do I nd the SEER rating on my AC unit? (Seasonal Energy E ciency Ratio)
The manufacturer typically provides the number, and there are several ways to nd it: Look for the yellow and black rating sticker Found on the side of the condenser, it clearly states the system's SEER rating Look for an information sheet a xed to the front of the air handler, the interior unit.
Cooling Equipment: Multiple AC Units Installed in Home
Multiple AC Units Installed - Informational: Multiple units allow for an easier time balancing the desired temperature in your home Generally, one area of your home will be warmer or more di cult to cool than another In a two-story home, the upstairs area is often warmer, as warm air rises Having multiple AC units in your home can help balance out the temperature. However, it's also important to note that multiple units double your chances of a system failure and increase your overall cost of repairs over time
661 Loran Way Scott Woodburn FOCUS Inspection Authority Page 55 of 139 General:
General Photo & Video
Cool Temperature Readings: Extreme Temperature - No Temperatures Taken
Due to the outside and/or interior temperature being lower that 65*, the AC unit was not tested for cooling as this has the potential for damage to the unit. We recommend that the AC portion of your HVAC system be tested and serviced prior to extended use when temperatures are above 65*
De ciencies
8 2 1 Cooling Equipment INSULATION
MISSING OR DAMAGED
Missing or damaged lineset insulation on AC refrigerant line can cause energy loss and condensation. A typical residential AC unit has two copper lines that both exit the building exterior and run to the outside condenser unit. Only one of these copper pipes, the cold line, should be insulated This is called the “suction” pipe or line and is typically the larger of the two pipes

Recommendation
OLDER UNIT R-22 REFRIGERANT Maintenance Item
Suspect that your Air Conditioning System uses R-22 refrigerant. This can no longer be sold due to environmental hazards. Newer HVAC systems use R410-A that does not harm the environment
Recommend that you budget for replacement When this system stope working, it will be beyond economic repair. You can nd the refrigerant information in the data plate on the side of your condenser.
NOTE: On January 1, 2010, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) implemented a ban on the production and import of R22, except for continuing servicing needs of existing equipment. The EPA also banned the manufacture and installation of new R22 AC or heat pump systems.

Modern standards call for at least 13 SEER rating for new install Read more on energy e cient air conditioning at Energy.gov.
How do I nd the SEER rating on my AC unit? (Seasonal Energy E ciency Ratio)
The manufacturer typically provides the number, and there are several ways to nd it: Look for the yellow and black rating sticker Found on the side of the condenser, it clearly states the system's SEER rating Look for an information sheet a xed to the front of the air handler, the interior unit.
Cooling Equipment: Multiple AC Units Installed in Home
Multiple AC Units Installed - Informational: Multiple units allow for an easier time balancing the desired temperature in your home Generally, one area of your home will be warmer or more di cult to cool than another In a two-story home, the upstairs area is often warmer, as warm air rises Having multiple AC units in your home can help balance out the temperature. However, it's also important to note that multiple units double your chances of a system failure and increase your overall cost of repairs over time

Cool Temperature Readings: Extreme Temperature - No Temperatures Taken
Due to the outside and/or interior temperature being lower that 65*, the AC unit was not tested for cooling as this has the potential for damage to the unit. We recommend that the AC portion of your HVAC system be tested and serviced prior to extended use when temperatures are above 65*
De ciencies
9 2 1 Cooling Equipment INSULATION
MISSING OR DAMAGED
Missing or damaged lineset insulation on AC refrigerant line can cause energy loss and condensation. A typical residential AC unit has two copper lines that both exit the building exterior and run to the outside condenser unit. Only one of these copper pipes, the cold line, should be insulated This is called the “suction” pipe or line and is typically the larger of the two pipes
9 2 2 Cooling Equipment
661 Loran Way Scott Woodburn FOCUS Inspection Authority Page 60 of 139
Recommendation
OLDER UNIT R-22 REFRIGERANT Maintenance Item
Suspect that your Air Conditioning System uses R-22 refrigerant. This can no longer be sold due to environmental hazards. Newer HVAC systems use R410-A that does not harm the environment. Recommend that you budget for replacement When this system stope working, it will be beyond economic repair You can nd the refrigerant information in the data plate on the side of your condenser.
NOTE: On January 1, 2010, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) implemented a ban on the production and import of R22, except for continuing servicing needs of existing equipment. The EPA also banned the manufacture and installation of new R22 AC or heat pump systems
9 2 3 Cooling Equipment VEGETATION TOO CLOSE
Vegetation was too close to the compressor, which can limit heat dissipation and limit e ectiveness It is recommended to leave at least three feet of space between the AC unit and your plants Never put plants on top of your AC unit as well As a general, it's best to err on the side of caution when it comes to putting things near your air conditioner. Recommend cutting back vegetation to avoid overheating compressor.
9 2 4 Cooling Equipment PLASTIC PLATFORM DEFICIENCY
At time of inspection AC condenser was on a plastic platform. This is usually only for a temporary footing. Plastic platforms are inclined to shift and sink in wet soil a ecting the unit in maintaining level. Recommend concrete footing for more permanent stabilization.

Equipment: AFUE Rating
80
AFUE (Annual fuel utilization e ciency) is a metric used to measure furnace e ciency in converting fuel to energy. A higher AFUE rating means greater energy e ciency 90% or higher meets the Department of Energy's Energy Star program standard.
GENERAL INFORMATION:
To nd your current furnace AFUE rating – The rating should be on your furnace's faceplate If it's not, then look for the model or serial number of the furnace, which should be on the furnace or on the compressor outside. Use that model or serial number on the manufacturer's website to nd the furnace's AFUE rating
A standard e ciency furnace provides 80% annual fuel utilization e ciency (AFUE). In this type of furnace, 20% of the energy produced by natural gas is expelled as exhaust These days, 95% AFUE is a common rating among new gaspowered furnaces. So a 95% furnace is more e cient than an 80% furnace.
A 20 or 25 year old furnace may have an e ciency rating of about 60% Instead of warming your house, 40% of the heat generated through combustion of natural gas goes up the ue and out the chimney High e ciency furnaces of today on average have an e ciency rating of 90-95%

It is recommended to ush & service your water heater annually for optimal performance Water temperature should be set to at least 120 degrees F to kill microbes and no higher than 130 degrees F to prevent scalding. Here is a nice maintenance guide from Lowe's to help
Equipment: Water Temperature Tested
Informational: Water temperature at one or more locations in the home was tested 120°F is the temperature safety recommendation for home water heaters. Most experts agree that anything below 120° may create a risk for bacteria to develop inside the water heater from stagnant water, such as Legionella that causes legionnaires disease
Equipment: Conventional Tank Water Heater
Information Regarding Conventional (Tank) Water heater: The life expectancy of a conventional water heater depends on several factors, manufacturers warranty, maintenance of tank and usage A typical life expectancy of a conventional water heater is between 6-15 years. The inspector can not determine when a water heater will fail. The warranty of the unit can give you a time line of when you may expect to replace it and when it may have reached the end of its life expectancy. If the tank is leaking it would need immediate replacement. Recommend requesting service record of water heater from seller, if seller has no record or knowledge of servicing tank i recommend you have it serviced soon by a quali ed professional

Walls Information: The walls appeared to be in satisfactory condition at the time of inspection No de ciencies were observed at visible portions unless otherwise noted in this report.
Fire Wall Separation: Current standards require that walls adjacent to living areas in a garage are covered with 1/2" drywall for proper separation of garage to living space Homes built prior to 2006 (year dependent on local municipality) may not have this protection, but upgrades are recommended for safety.
Garage Ventilation: Currently, residential garages are not required to have ventilation under ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62.2. However, the EPA does recommend active ventilation to help get rid of toxic fumes and carbon monoxide. Even though it's not legally required, it's still a good idea to have some sort of ventilation in your garage Garage ventilation is a growing concern today among homeowners. Not ventilating your garage can be extremely dangerous. Your car exhaust releases many toxic fumes, and without proper ventilation, these fumes can get trapped within the walls of your garage creating a health hazard.
Another reason you may want to ventilate your garage is to control the buildup of heat. Because of the lack of air space in a garage, things can get extremely stu y We add the above comments to our report for your information only.

Information on Windows:
Single Pane/Glazed Window: Single-pane/glazed with clear glass allows the highest transfer of energy (i e heat loss or heat gain depending on local climate conditions) while permitting the highest daylight transmission. (this type of window is the least energy e cient)
Double Pane/Glazed Window: A typical clear, double-pane/glazed unit has two lites or pieces of glass with the inner and outer layers of glass both being clear and separated by an air gap Double glazing, compared to single glazing, cuts heat loss in half due to the insulating air space between the glass layers. In addition to reducing the heat ow, a double-glazed unit with clear glass will allow the transmission of high visible light and high solar heat gain
Triple Pane/Glazed Window: This window is suited for buildings located in very cold climates Both Low-E coatings in this product have high solar heat and visible light transmittance, which is ideal for passive solar design The use of three layers, however, results in lower solar heat gain relative to double glazing with high-solar-gain Low-E.

Pilot lights and replaces are not lit. Our insurance and standards of practice prevent our company from lighting any pilot lights or gas operated replaces.
NOTE: According to InterNACHI SOP for home inspectors, the scope of the inspection for a replace and chimney is limited to readily accessible and visible portions of the replace and chimney. The inspection is not all-inclusive or technically exhaustive The inspection involves a visual-only examination of the readily accessible portions of the chimney exterior, interior, accessible portions of the appliance, and the chimney connection.
It is recommended that all replaces, fuel-burning stoves, and chimneys be inspected by a certi ed chimney sweep prior to their rst use, and not less than annually.
NOTE: Be advised The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends a Level 2 Chimney Inspection by a quali ed licensed chimney professional with the transfer of real estate This extensive and invasive inspection may reveal concealed defects inside replace box, chimney ue etc This type of specialist inspection is outside the scope of this general home inspection and is speci cally excluded because home inspector is NOT a quali ed licensed chimney specialist contractor and does not posses the specialty tools/equipment needed to perform this type of inspection of chimney or replace.
Most home owners consider their replaces and chimneys to be indestructible parts of their home that require little or no maintenance While masonry work is generally as close to maintenance-free as you can get, replaces and chimneys are more than just works of masonry: they may be part of your homes heating system, which must e ectively exhaust fumes from your replace thru the chimney
Relatively minor but regular maintenance e orts can help your chimney operate safely for an inde nite period of time. In the U S , many people are poorly informed about the importance of basic chimney maintenance This lack of understanding causes a substantial number of preventable deaths and injuries each year.
Beyond the safety issue, neglect of chimneys leads to very expensive major repairs that would not be necessary if the chimney were properly maintained.
The three most serious problems that result from poorly maintained chimneys/ replaces are:
Carbon monoxide poisoning
Chimney res
Premature failure of the replace and chimney
It is beyond the scope of this home inspection to determine the condition of the chimney as this requires observing the inside of the ue for cracks, gaps between ue pieces etc. This is typically performed by a quali ed licensed chimney specialist using a video scope It is recommended to hire a chimney specialist for further inspection of chimney/ replace before the end of your inspection contingency period or before the close of escrow

Fireplace needs u lock or damper stop/C-clamp Due to the application of gas logs, the damper should have a C-clamp or damper stop to inhibit it from closing completely. Gas logs within a replace can emit carbon monoxide for up to one hour after use. This is the reason why a C-clamp or damper stop should be installed so that carbon monoxide buildup will not occur within the home after use a gas log replace Recommend correction

General: Fireplace Type/Style
Wood, Gas
Pilot lights and replaces are not lit. Our insurance and standards of practice prevent our company from lighting any pilot lights or gas operated replaces.
NOTE: According to InterNACHI SOP for home inspectors, the scope of the inspection for a replace and chimney is limited to readily accessible and visible portions of the replace and chimney. The inspection is not all-inclusive or technically exhaustive The inspection involves a visual-only examination of the readily accessible portions of the chimney exterior, interior, accessible portions of the appliance, and the chimney connection.
It is recommended that all replaces, fuel-burning stoves, and chimneys be inspected by a certi ed chimney sweep prior to their rst use, and not less than annually.
NOTE: Be advised The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends a Level 2 Chimney Inspection by a quali ed licensed chimney professional with the transfer of real estate This extensive and invasive inspection may reveal concealed defects inside replace box, chimney ue etc This type of specialist inspection is outside the scope of this general home inspection and is speci cally excluded because home inspector is NOT a quali ed licensed chimney specialist contractor and does not posses the specialty tools/equipment needed to perform this type of inspection of chimney or replace.
Most home owners consider their replaces and chimneys to be indestructible parts of their home that require little or no maintenance While masonry work is generally as close to maintenance-free as you can get, replaces and chimneys are more than just works of masonry: they may be part of your homes heating system, which must e ectively exhaust fumes from your replace thru the chimney
Relatively minor but regular maintenance e orts can help your chimney operate safely for an inde nite period of time. In the U S , many people are poorly informed about the importance of basic chimney maintenance This lack of understanding causes a substantial number of preventable deaths and injuries each year.
Beyond the safety issue, neglect of chimneys leads to very expensive major repairs that would not be necessary if the chimney were properly maintained.
The three most serious problems that result from poorly maintained chimneys/ replaces are:
Carbon monoxide poisoning
Chimney res
Premature failure of the replace and chimney
It is beyond the scope of this home inspection to determine the condition of the chimney as this requires observing the inside of the ue for cracks, gaps between ue pieces etc. This is typically performed by a quali ed licensed chimney specialist using a video scope It is recommended to hire a chimney specialist for further inspection of chimney/ replace before the end of your inspection contingency period or before the close of escrow

The replace lintel or lintel bar is a horizontal beam that runs across the length of the replace and supports the chimney The hearth extension is the non-combustible material in front of and at the sides of the replace opening Hearth and hearth extensions are designed to prevent sparks from leaving the replace and igniting nearby combustibles These components were inspected and found to be serviceable at time of inspection unless otherwise noted below.
Damper Doors: Damper Door Inspection Terms
Inspected this component and found it serviceable at the time of inspection unless otherwise noted below
Dampers are made to seal the chimney when res aren't being run, so that the cold air stays out and your home stays warm. Dampers send smoke away. Before your re gets going, be sure to open the damper, so that all of the smoke escapes through the chimney Dampers generally are pull to open and push to close Much like a dresser drawer, Pull to open the drawer, push to close the drawer

General: Thermal Camera General Information
Your inspector performed a gas leak check and limited thermal camera walkthrough inspection upon completion of your home inspection. If a gas leak was detected at any of the gas appliances or main, it will be noted below. Although thermal imaging goes beyond the SOP for a general home inspection, using a visual thermal imaging scan may help your inspector detect small anomalies related to heat, whether they be too hot or too cold, such as:
Plumbing leaks or clogs — Using infrared imaging, inspectors might be able to spot the location of a clog or leak before the homeowner or plumber knocks holes in walls to nd it.
Water damage — The thermal imaging scan should reveal a temperature di erence between wet and dry areas in a home’s walls, ceilings, and oors This is because moisture adds thermal mass to an area, causing it to hold onto heat longer than its drier surroundings. Suspected plumbing leaks, moisture intrusion or water damage will also be veri ed by a moisture meter to determine accuracy of the scan. A thermal imaging device is not a moisture meter. A thermal imaging camera will detect the heat from excess moisture in an area, but your inspector will con rm those results using a non-penetrating moisture meter
Missing or damaged insulation — Since insulation’s role is to insulate heat in the home, a thermal scan should show any spots where the material is missing or no longer doing its job.
Electrical issues — An infrared scan can help locate hotspots indicating overloaded circuits, old circuit breakers, electrical faults, and overheated electrical equipment
IMPORTANT LIMITATION NOTE: It should be noted that thermal imaging may not reveal all potential anomalies related to the limited thermal scan performed, and DOES NOT allow your inspector to “see through walls ” That’s because even though thermal imaging technology feels like something out of a futuristic sci- movie, it’s important to remember that thermal imaging is not the same as x-ray vision It’s a visual, surface-level inspection that simply translates heat into the visible spectrum Thermal imaging helps us to get an idea of unseen issues; however, the only issues that may show up are ones that relate to heat discrepancies. It should be noted, that a thermal imaging scan isn’t a catch-all and shouldn’t be treated as such.

General: Rodent/Pest/WDO
Due to Age of Structure Further Evaluation Recommended
Inspecting for, and reporting on the presence of WDO activity (wood destroying organisms) including but not limited to; termites, powder post beetles, carpenter ants, carpenter bees, etc is beyond the scope of a home inspection, is excluded by our Standards of Practice, and is excluded from this inspection. It is highly recommended that you have a WDO-Termite inspection prior to the end of your inspection contingency period Any comments made in this report in regards to any such activity was done as a courtesy only, should not be viewed as an all-inclusive listing of activity, and requires further evaluation by a licensed pest control company.
Rodent / Pest Concerns: Rodent/Pest Information
Inspecting for pests, rodents, termites, etc. is outside the scope of a home inspection. A thorough inspection was not performed in order to determine their presence and/or or any damage done by them We are not quali ed or licensed pest inspectors, therefore hiring an actual professional pest inspection company is advised. However, as a courtesy, any evidence or damage caused by mice, squirrels, wood destroying organisms, etc. is listed below.
Odors Present: Odors Information
If any odors are noticed in the home I will include them in this section with recommendations made as needed If no additional information is included in this report in respect to odors, then no discernible odors were present or noticed in the home at the time of inspection
Fungal Growth, Microbial Growth/Mold Information: Fungal Growth and Mold Information
In accordance with the standards of practice reporting on the presence of mold is excluded from a home inspection. If I see obvious signs of fungal or microbial growth, I will recommend further evaluation and testing as a courtesy, but these individual references should not be construed as an all-inclusive listing of areas of fungal growth present. Furthermore, the removal of personal belongings or any remodeling or repairs that may take place in the future may reveal fungal growth or mold that was not visible at the time of inspection. If mold is a concern, you are advised to have a mold inspection and indoor air quality testing conducted by a certi ed mold inspector or industrial hygienist prior to the end of your inspection contingency period.

Evidence of microbial or fungal growth (potential mold) observed in the following noted areas. Recommend further evaluation by a quali ed professional
Noted area had noticeable indication of potential microbial growth due to previous moisture or leak. At times, these areas are prone to microbial growth. Although our moisture meter showed that the area was dry at time of inspection, we recommend that further evaluation be made and remediation of the a ected area be done. Please NOTE: We are NOT able to determine type of mold without taking test swabs for laboratory evaluation. This would provide you with the TYPE of mold or fungus that has been discovered. Therefore, we recommend further evaluation of this area and appropriate corrective measures. We also recommend disclosure of corrections made of the areas of potential moisture intrusion prior to corrective measures to assure that further moisture intrusion is no longer a threat.
Microbial growth testing may help to assist you in further evaluating the extent of potential repairs that may be needed in these areas As noted in our general information, we do o er further mold testing and also pair with 3West Environmental for Mold Testing on extensive cases. We can also o er referrals or recommendations for Mold Remediation Companies as needed. Some areas of noted microbial growth may be candidate for a simple (DIY) local application of of a mold cleaning agent, such as Benefect Botanical Decon 30 or Multipurpose Vinegar We DO NOT recommend Bleach for cleaning mold If you need further information, please let us know.
