RE: 2406 Happy Lane

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Smith:

At your request, a visual inspection of the above referenced property was conducted on . This inspection report reflectsthe visual conditions of the property at the time of the inspection only. Hidden or concealed defects cannot be included inthis report. No warranty is either expressed or implied. This report is not an insurance policy, nor a warranty service.

An earnest effort was made on your behalf to discover all visible defects, however, in the event of an oversight, maximumliability is limited to the fee paid. The following is an opinion report, expressed as a result of the inspection. Please taketime to review limitations contained in the inspection agreement.

NOTE: We highly recommend the entire report be read, not just this summary. There may be other factors orconditions in the body of the report which may affect your conclusions or decisions.

REPORT SUMMARY

Overall, the home was constructed in a workmanlike manner, consistent with the local building trades and codes in effectat the time of construction, and has had average maintenance over the years. However, in accordance with prevailinglocal real estate purchase agreements, the following items should be considered:

Items reported as "Deficient" in accordance with the Texas Real Estate Commission Standards of Practice;

I. STRUCTURAL SYSTEMSFoundations - GradingA. Foundations GENERAL INDICATIONS OF FOUNDATION MOVEMENT- Brick veneer fractures, sheet rock fracture(s) inthe interior walls and/or ceilings of the structure, and. possible misalignment and/or out of square doorframes. DEFICIENCIES OTHER THAN FOUNDATION MOVEMENT- A corner pop was noted in a rear foundationcorner. Corner pop is the cracking, chipping and/or flaking off of corner areas of the concrete slab due to thenormal pressures imposed on the slab by the weight of the structure and general soil movements. These do notnormally present a structural support problem but can be location(s) of undetected insect entry. The item(s) which are listed above are indications structural movement occurred at some point in time. Ifthis is a concern, we recommend you consult with a reputable foundation company or a properly licensed Structural Engineer for further evaluation.

Roof - AtticGUTTERING OBSERVATIONS- Gutter(s) are filled with debris. (Leaves, sticks, and/or aggregate.) Debris mayhave restricted full viewing at some areas.

Structure ComponentsE. Walls (Interior & Exterior) INTERIOR WALL OBSERVATIONS- The following type of sheetrock fracture(s) were present; Smallfractures were observed over doorways and around windows in some areas. These appear to be typical typefractures commonly found around wall openings and may be an indication that a slight structural movement mayhave occurred at some point in time. Larger fractures and wrinkled tape were observed in the downstairs

Page 2

master bedroom and bathroom areas and upstairs area on same east end of structure. These aredeficiencies which are related to structural performance because they are indications structural movement hasoccurred at some point in time. Moisture Stains observed in the following locations. Moisture stains observed on the lower section of wallin the master bedroom closet. This may indicate surface water or water from a plumbing leak has entered thestructure. No moisture present at time of inspection. EXTERIOR WALL OBSERVATIONS- The caulking needs attention in some areas. All gaps around trim andwindows should be sealed to prevent moisture from entering the structure. GENERAL INDICATIONS of FOUNDATION/STRUCTURAL MOVEMENT- Step cracks and/or brick fracturesare present in the exterior brick veneer on sides of structure. These type cracks may be influenced from slightmovements in the structure and foundation over the life of the dwelling.

F. Ceilings & Floors CEILING OBSERVATIONS- Typical fracture(s) and/or holes are present in ceiling surfaces. These arecommonly found in most homes and is an indication that slight structural movement may have occurred at sometime. Larger fractures were observed in the upstairs areas. These may be human error or deficiencies notedas related to structural performance because they are indications structural movement has occurred at some pointin time. There is a noticeable tape seam crack running all or part of the length of the garage ceiling. Sheetrockappears to have dropped down from ceiling rafters at center and needs to be reattached. This is a commonoccurrence in wide garages, particularly when the attic space above has been used for storage. The additionalweight of stored items and a "bounce" effect which can occur while walking in the attic are generally the cause ofthese cracks. These can indicate structural movement has occurred but normally do not indicate any structuralproblems. Moisture stains or damage were observed in the master bathroom over shower. This is an indication of aprevious plumbing leak at upstairs bathroom. No moisture present at time of inspection.

FLOOR OBSERVATIONS-VINYL/VINYL TILE: Tears were present in the vinyl floor covering in laundry room. CERAMIC TILE: Cracked or chipped ceramic tiles were observed in front entry area. CARPET: Carpets were stained in a few areas. Carpet is damaged in master bedroom at bathroom doorentrance.

G. Doors (Interior & Exterior) INTERIOR DOOR OBSERVATIONS- Interior doors(s) are slightly misaligned in the upstairs bathroom andbedroom. This may be an indication structural movement may have occurred at some point in time. Interior doors were binding against their frames in the following locations; The master bathroom closetdoor and laundry room door bind against upper jamb. This may be an indication of previous structuralmovement. Door(s) observed not latching properly in upstairs bathroom and master bedroom, This appears to be dueto malfunctioning door hardware. EXTERIOR DOOR OBSERVATIONS- Weather-strip observed damaged or door is in need of adjustment atlaundry door to garage. (See light - air or moisture coming through.), A hollow core door is improperly installed at laundry door to garage. Although this may have beenacceptable when this home was constructed, current building regulation require solid or metal door at exteriorlocation.

J. Fireplace/Chimney The damper failed to operate. Door would not open and close at time of inspection. A large amount of creosote and ash observed in unit. Cleaning / service and furhter evaluation by a qualifiedchimney sweep is recommended before use.

Water Heating EquipmentComments Problems noted- The electrical wiring is spliced or improperly connected to the water heater.

V. APPLIANCESAppliancesD. Ranges, Cooktops, and Ovens Right rear burner(s) failed to operate during this inspection. With the oven thermostat set at 350 degrees the oven shut down temperature was 250 degrees. This isoutside an acceptable range of 350 degrees (+/-20 degrees). Contact a qualified appliance technician to furtherevaluate.

G. Mechanical Exhaust Vents and Bathroom Heaters The upstairs unit(s) failed to operate.

VI. OPTIONAL SYSTEMSSprinklersA. Lawn and Garden Sprinkler Systems TIMER AND SUBPANEL OBSERVATIONS- Note: Locations of spray stations or zones are not labeled incontrol box. Ask sellers for details/layout of stations.

DRAINS/VALVES/SKIMMER: Skimmer on deep end has small crack at inside edge. POOL LIGHTS AND GFCI PROTECTION: The pool GFCI receptacle was not located. WIRING/GROUNDING: Deficiencies present. Ground/bonding wire was not connected at main pool pump. Pump motor wiring conduit is not properly connected, wiring exposed.

Items which may not be "Deficient" in accordance with the Texas Real Estate Commission Standards of Practice, butwhich we consider possible safety hazards due to their present condition, or they do not appear to meet current codes orgenerally accepted construction practices/procedures. or the equipment may be obsolete are;

I. STRUCTURAL SYSTEMSStructure ComponentsJ. Fireplace/Chimney Note: The fireplace chimney above the roof is more than 30" wide. Current proper construction procedures

Page 5

state a "cricket" should be installed on the uphill side of the chimney to divert water run-off around the chimney.Moisture and wet debris building up behind a chimney can accelerate the deterioration of the roof and flashingmaterials in this area. This is an upgrade which could be best accomplished at the time of replacing the currentroof surface.

II. ELECTRICAL SYSTEMSElectrical CommentsA. Service Entrance and Panels The main electrical service panel and circuit breakers for this structure are Federal-Pacific ElectricCompany "Stab-Lok" products. Federal-Pacific equipment was the most popular brand of electrical controlequipment installed in structures in the 1960's thru the early 1980's. Most of this equipment is still in use today.This brand equipment is no longer manufactured and is considered obsolete. There is wide spread informationavailable which questions the reliability of this circuit breaker equipment. If this is a concern, we recommend youcontact a licensed electrician for further evaluation.Wiring Type Aluminum wiring is present on 110 volt circuits. Aluminum branch circuit wiring was found in the electricalpanel. A random sampling of accessible receptacle(s) and switch(es) found that, no problems were observedduring this limited inspection. All electrical fixtures and wire connections must be approved for aluminum wiring. Iwould recommend contacting a licensed electrician to further evaluate.Comments: Smoke Detectors were chirping at time of inspection. This is an indication of a low battery or defectivedetector. Smoke detectors should be installed in all sleeping areas & levels of the structure. NOTE: Werecommend checking all smoke detectors again prior to sleeping in the dwelling. Smoke detectors should beinstalled on the ceilings at least 18" from the wall. (Smoke tends to mushroom upward turning outward toward thecenter of the ceiling. To Fire Fighters this is known as the mushroom effect which leaves a dead airspace 18" froma ceiling to wall corner.)

IV. PLUMBING SYSTEMSupplyComments: No anti-siphon protection observed on exterior hose bibs/faucets. This is a basic safety attachment to theend of faucets that will protect from a cross connection or back-flow of water into the house which is standardequipment on newer homes. Older homes would require these devices be added.

Each of these items may require further evaluation and repair by licensed tradespeople. Obtain competitive estimates forthese items. Other minor items are also noted in the following report and should receive eventual attention, but none ofthem affect the habitability of the house and their correction is typically considered the responsibility of the purchaser. Themajority are the result of normal wear and tear.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND: No house is perfect. Keep things in perspective in regards to the age and value of theproperty. Don't kill your deal over things which don't matter. Assessment and prioritization of repair items issubjective. Only you, the client, can determine what observed conditions are acceptable. It is inappropriate todemand a Seller address deferred maintenance, conditions already listed on the Seller's Disclosure Statement, ornit picky items. Realize the Seller is under no obligation to repair anything mentioned in this report unlessspecifically stated so in your current contract.

This property inspection report may include an inspection agreement (contract), termite inspection report, and otherinformation related to property conditions. If any item or comment is unclear, you should ask the inspector to clarify thefindings. It is important you carefully read ALL of this information.

This inspection is subject to the rules (“Rules”) of the Texas Real Estate Commission (“TREC”), which can be found atwww.trec.state.tx.us.

The TREC Standards of Practice (Sections 535.227-535.231 of the Rules) are the minimum standards for inspections byTREC-licensed inspectors. An inspection addresses only those components and conditions that are present, visible, andaccessible at the time of the inspection. While there may be other parts, components or systems present, only those itemsspecifically noted as being inspected were inspected. The inspector is not required to move furnishings or stored items.The inspection report may address issues that are code-based or may refer to a particular code; however, this is NOT acode compliance inspection and does NOT verify compliance with manufacturer’s installation instructions. The inspectiondoes NOT imply insurability or any warranty of the structure or its components. Although some safety issues may beaddressed in this report, this inspection is NOT a safety/code inspection, and the inspector is NOT required to identify allpotential hazards.

In this report, the inspector will note which systems and components were Inspected (I), Not Inspected (NI), Not Present(NP), and/or Deficient (D). General deficiencies include inoperable systems or components, material distress, waterpenetration, damage, deterioration, missing parts, and unsuitable installation. Comments may be provided by the inspectorwhether or not an item is deemed deficient. The inspector is not required to prioritize or emphasize the importance of onedeficiency over another.

Some items reported as Deficient may be considered life-safety upgrades to the property. For more information, refer toTexas Real Estate Consumer Notice Concerning Recognized Hazards, form OP-I.

This property inspection is not an exhaustive inspection of the structure, systems, or components. The inspection may notreveal all deficiencies. A real estate inspection helps to reduce some of the risk involved in purchasing a home, but itcannot eliminate these risks, nor can the inspection anticipate future events or changes in performance due to changes inuse or occupancy. It is recommended you obtain as much information as is available about this property, including anysellers' disclosures, previous inspection reports, engineering reports, building/remodeling permits, and reports performedfor or by relocation companies, municipal inspection departments, lenders, insurers, and appraisers. You should alsoattempt to determine whether repairs, renovation, remodeling, additions, or other such activities have taken place at thisproperty. It is not the inspector’s responsibility to confirm information obtained from these sources is complete or accurateor this inspection is consistent with the opinions expressed in previous or future reports.

mailto:[email protected]

Items identified in the report do not obligate any party to make repairs or take other action, nor is the purchaserrequired to request the seller take any action. When a deficiency is reported, it is the client’s responsibility toobtain further evaluations and/or cost estimates from qualified service professionals. Any such follow-up shouldtake place prior to the expiration of any time limitations such as option periods. Evaluations by qualified tradesmen maylead to the discovery of additional deficiencies which may involve additional repair costs. Failure to address deficiencies orcomments noted in this report may lead to further damage of the structure or systems and add to the original repair costs.The inspector is not required to provide follow-up services to verify proper repairs have been made.

Property conditions change with time and use. For example, mechanical devices can fail at any time, plumbinggaskets and seals may crack if the appliance or plumbing fixture is not used often, roof leaks can occur at any timeregardless of the apparent condition of the roof, and the performance of the structure and the systems may change due tochanges in use or occupancy, effects of weather, etc. These changes or repairs made to the structure after the inspectionmay render information contained herein obsolete or invalid. This report is provided for the specific benefit of the clientnamed above and is based on observations at the time of the inspection. If you did not hire the inspector yourself, relianceon this report may provide incomplete or outdated information. Repairs, professional opinions or additional inspectionreports may affect the meaning of the information in this report.

þ ¨ ¨ þ A. Foundations CONCRETE SLAB ON GRADE- We were unable to see some areas of the foundation gray line (Minimum to 2" should bevisible) due to the following reasons; We were unable to see some areas of the foundation grayline (Minimum to 2" should be visible) due to a concrete patio, high or dense vegetation and/orhigh grade levels obstructing the inspectors view. (This can contribute to undetected insectentry and/or hide cracks in the slab)GENERAL INDICATIONS OF FOUNDATION MOVEMENT- Brick veneer fractures, sheetrock fracture(s) in the interior walls and/or ceilings of the structure, and possiblemisalignment and/or out of square door frames. DEFICIENCIES OTHER THAN FOUNDATION MOVEMENT- A corner pop was noted in arear foundation corner. Corner pop is the cracking, chipping and/or flaking off of cornerareas of the concrete slab due to the normal pressures imposed on the slab by theweight of the structure and general soil movements. These do not normally present astructural support problem but can be location(s) of undetected insect entry. Be sure toadvise you pest control professional of the presence and location(s) of large corner pop(s). Various conditions and adverse factors are able to affect structures, with differential movementlikely to occur over time. The inspectors opinion is based on visual observations of accessibleand unobstructed areas of the structure at the time of the inspection. Future performance ofthe structure cannot be predicted or warranted. The item(s) which are listed above areindications structural movement occurred at some point in time. If this is a concern, werecommend you consult with a reputable foundation company or a properly licensed Structural Engineer for further evaluation.

þ ¨ ¨ þ C. Roof Covering Materials Type(s) of Roof Covering: Architectural composition shingles. Note: With regularmaintenance average life expectancy is between 20 -25 years under normalinstallation/conditions.Viewed From: The roof was observed by walking on the roof surface.Comments:ROOF COVERING OBSERVATIONS- The roof covering appears to have normal wear for its age. NOTE: Due to high roof damage claims, some insurance companies now require agents toview the roof covering condition. At their option, they may: 1. Accept the covering material in its current condition. 2. Require replacement in order for them to insure the roof.3. Exclude the roof covering and any consequential damage resulting from waterpenetration.The inspector's opinion may or may not coincide with the insurance agent's opinion. Theinspection report may help the agent in his evaluation process. The inspector will notaccept liability for any roof being rejected by an insurance company as we are looking atfunction in its current condition. The agent is looking to minimize risk. The life expectancygiven is the best estimate of the inspector, assuming proper maintenance. The actual lifeof the roofing materials used can be influenced by external sources like; weatherextremes, conditions caused by trees and vegetation and mechanical damage. ROOF JACKS, FLASHING, & COUNTER FLASHING OBSERVATIONS- No problemswere observed during this inspection period. GUTTERING OBSERVATIONS- Gutter(s) are filled with debris. (Leaves, sticks,and/or aggregate.) Debris may have restricted full viewing at some areas.

bedroom and bathroom areas and upstairs area on same east end of structure.These are deficiencies which are related to structural performance because they areindications structural movement has occurred at some point in time. Moisture Stains observed in the following locations. Moisture stains observed onthe lower section of wall in the master bedroom closet. This may indicate surfacewater or water from a plumbing leak has entered the structure. No moisture presentat time of inspection. EXTERIOR WALL OBSERVATIONS- EXTERIOR WALLS ARE CONSTRUCTED OF THE FOLLOWING MATERIALS: Brickand/or stone veneer and wood or wood like product over wood framing. Soffits, eave(s)and/or trim are low maintenance aluminum and/or vinyl trim. The caulking needsattention in some areas. All gaps around trim and windows should be sealed toprevent moisture from entering the structure. GENERAL INDICATIONS of FOUNDATION/STRUCTURAL MOVEMENT- Step cracksand/or brick fractures are present in the exterior brick veneer on sides of structure.These type cracks may be influenced from slight movements in the structure andfoundation over the life of the dwelling.

þ ¨ ¨ þ F. Ceilings & Floors - Comments:CEILING COVERING(S): Blown acoustic ceiling covering. CEILING OBSERVATIONS- Typical fracture(s) and/or holes are present in ceiling surfaces. These are commonlyfound in most homes and is an indication that slight structural movement may haveoccurred at some time. Larger fractures were observed in the upstairs areas. Thesemay be human error or deficiencies noted as related to structural performancebecause they are indications structural movement has occurred at some point intime. There is a noticeable tape seam crack running all or part of the length of the garageceiling. Sheetrock appears to have dropped down from ceiling rafters at center andneeds to be reattached. This is a common occurrence in wide garages, particularlywhen the attic space above has been used for storage. The additional weight ofstored items and a "bounce" effect which can occur while walking in the attic aregenerally the cause of these cracks. These can indicate structural movement hasoccurred but normally do not indicate any structural problems.

Thisbrand equipment is no longer manufactured and is considered obsolete. There is



Page 19 of 36REI 7A-1 (10/2008)

wide spread information available which questions the reliability of this circuitbreaker equipment. If this is a concern, we recommend you contact a licensedelectrician for further evaluation. Two or more circuits are improperly connected to a single pole breaker. All doubletaps should be remedied. The main circuit breakers controlling the electrical supply to the main panels islarger than the manufacturer's stated maximum amperage of 150 amps. A licensed electrician should be contacted to further evaluate the electrical system.
