Grounds Survey Findings:

If present, vegetation, grading, drainage, driveways, patioground surfaces, walkways and retaining walls, stoops, steps,non-abutting decks, visible components of grounds electricalsystems and watering systems, and other general conditionswere observed. The inspector is not required to test groundslighting systems or watering systems.Significant visible deficiencies or potential concerns, if any, arereported below.Grounds systems or components are indicated by type ordescribed in the components section.

The condition of exterior faucets is addressed in this section,though any observed leaks may be reported in the PlumbingSection.

[+] 0970.15: No deficiencies noted in this area at the timeof the inspection.

[Note] 0980.01: The grounds was inspected and reportedon with the enclosed information.Grading and drainage are probably the most significantaspects of a property, simply because of the direct andindirect damage that moisture can have on structures. Allstructures are dependent on the soil beneath them for

support, but soils may vary. For this reason, it isrecommended that proper drainage away from thefoundation be provided. This can be enhanced by roofs thathave gutters and downspouts that discharge into areadrains with catch basins that carry water away to hardsurfaces. It is recommended that tree limbs and vegetationbe kept trimmed back from roof and wall surfaces.Sprinkler systems are primarily an underground system, ourinspection is limited. It is recommended that you consultthe sellers as to the operation of the timer, and entiresystem, and all associated controls before the close ofescrow if the property is equip with a system.

Grounds Components & Applications:

The following is a list of components, systems, and applicationsnoted during the inspection. This is a very important part of theinspection report. Some components and some applicationsrequire additional maintenance and consideration. The surveyof some components is limited. Some component informationcontains disclosures.Where the general condition of a component or system isindicated, reference is to the visible and/or active componentsonly.

Exterior / Roof Survey Findings:

The roof, roof drainage systems, jacks, flashings, skylights,chimneys, other roof penetrations were observed within thelimits of accessibility. The method of observation, which issuggestive of the extent to which the roof and relatedcomponents were observed, is set forth in the componentssection.Wall cladding, flashing, trim, eaves and rake fascias (bargerafters), all doors, a representative number of windows, and allgarage doors were observed if present. Any garage dooroperators were tested for the ability to stop or reverse when

meeting normal hand resistance.If bedroom windows have security bars, they may be required tohave release mechanisms. The release mechanisms are nottested by the inspection company. It is strongly recommendedthat you have the owner or agent demonstrate the releasemechanism on each window.Significant visible deficiencies or potential concerns, if any, arereported below.Any visible deficiencies in abutting or attached decks may bereported in the STRUCTURE section rather than here.Visible signs of leaks or abnormal condensation (if any) onsurfaces are reported in this, and/or other pertinent, sections.Exterior systems or components are indicated by type or

described in the components section.

Noted at masterbathroom toilet area.See Photo(s) 1510.01.[E] 1530.06: Window cracked.Recommend repair of window. Outside pane of window iscracked. Noted at master bathroom shower area.See Photo(s) 1530.06.[Note] 1970.01: The exterior of the home was inspectedand reported on with the enclosed information.We do not comment on coating or cosmetic deficienciesand the wear and tear associated with the passage of time,which would be apparent to the average person. However,cracks in hard surfaces can imply the presence ofexpansive soils that can result in continuous movement, butthis could only be confirmed by a geological evaluation ofthe soil. It is important to maintain a property, includingpainting or sealing walkways, decks, and other hardsurfaces, and it is particularly important to keep the housewalls sealed, which provide the only barrier againstdeterioration. It is recommended that gaps and

penetrations around framing, plumbing, mechanical,electrical penetrations, windows, doors and thresholds be

checked and if necessary sealed for moisture and pestprotection. Therefore it is recommended to maintain theexterior of the home on a regular basis.Exterior wood features, such as roof eaves, fascias, beam,door jambs and trim, around windows will need periodiccaulking and painting to preserve and to prevent moistureinundation. Eaves,Soffits and fascias are viewed from theground, not all problems may be noticed. Tree limbs andvegetation should be trimmed back from roof and wallsurfaces.Hairline cracks in concrete and masonry are considerednormal due to concrete shrinkage. Gutters and subsurface

drains are not water tested for leakage or blockage.Recommend observing during heavy rains. Regularmaintenance of drainage systems is required to avoid waterproblems at roof and foundation.Wall insulation type and value is not verified.

[Note] 1970.03: Concrete Tile Roof

Concrete roof tile are brittle and walking on them cancrack or break the tile. Therefore, a limited inspection waspreformed. Hair line cracks and possibly broken tile may gounnoticed during this limited inspection. The inspector didinspect all components that were visible from certain

vantage points with a ladder and binoculars. The conditionof roof felt paper or membrane below roof tiles is unknownand cannot be inspected with out possible damage to theroof coverings. The material on most pitched roofs is notdesigned to be waterproof only water resistance. While theinspector makes every effort to find all areas of concern,some areas can go unnoticed. No guarantee or warranty ismade by this inspection whether the roof leaks at the time ofthe inspection or is subject to future leaking. There may beconcealed damage. Without fully viewing, it's almostimpossible to know whether there's a serious problem. Thesellers or the occupants of the residence will generally havethe most intimate knowledge of the roof and of its history.Therefore, it is recommended that you ask the sellers aboutit, and that you either include comprehensive roof coveragein you home insurance policy, or that you obtain a roofcertification from a licensed and insured roofing contractor.

Plumbing Survey Findings:

The hot water systems, visible sections of interior water supplyand distribution systems, including pipes, supports, andinsulation, and functional flow (if water was on) were observed.All water handling fixtures, faucets & valves, interior drainsystems including waste & vent systems, functional drainage (ifwater was on) and sump pumps (if installed) were observed.(Drains to clothes washers, roofs, floors, and decks were nottested.)If present, interior and exterior fuel storage & distributionsystems were observed.

The inspector did inspect for visible evidence of leaks and crossconnections.The clothes dryer venting system was also visibly examined, ifaccessible, though not tested (unless so stated).Significant visible deficiencies or potential concerns, if any, arereported below.Visible plumbing systems or components are indicated by typeor described in the components section.


[Note] 4989.01: The plumbing in the home was inspected

and reported on with the enclosed information.The condition of waste and drain pipes is usually directlyrelated to their age. However, as significant portions ofdrainpipes are concealed, your inspector can only infer theircondition by observing the draw at drains. Nonetheless,blockages will occur in the life of any system, but blockagesin drainpipes, and particularly in main drainpipes.Therefore, it is recommended that a video inspection of themain sewer line be performed by a licensed qualifiedcontractor, and be used in your further inspection or repairissues. The seller should also be asked if there have beenany problems relating to the entire plumbing and drainagesystems.Because the main water shutoff are not operated duringinspections, we suggest verification of working condition bemade by the seller prior to close of escrow. Gas Applianceson property. It is recommend that the that a Gas, LPG orfuel supplier perform a "safety check" before takingpossession of the property. Water heaters, gas stoves, gasfire places, gas clothes dryers (if applicable), and A/Cheaters are examples of such appliances that should bechecked by the gas supplier or by a licensed contractorbefore the close of escrow.The supplier may use inspectiontools and/or methods not allowed by this inspectioncompany. Is is also recommended that a wrench, capable

of turning the main gas valve OFF in case of an emergency,be located near the gas meter. Carbon Monoxidedetectors, it is recommended to install a (CO) Carbon

Noted at the rear of the home.See Photo(s) 5120.05.[Note] 5919.01: The electrical system of the home wasinspected and reported on with the enclosed information.In the interests of safety, your inspector(s) will regard everyelectrical deficiency and recommended upgrade as a latenthazard that should be serviced as soon as possible, andthat the entire system be evaluated and certified as safe byan electrician. While the inspector makes every effort tofind all areas of concern, some areas can go unnoticed.Outlets were not removed and the inspection was onlyvisual. Any outlet not accessible (behind the refrigerator forexample) was not inspected or accessible. Therefore, is isessential that any recommendations that your inspector(s)may make for service or upgrades should be completedbefore the close of escrow, because an electrician couldreveal additional deficiencies or recommend some upgradefor which we disclaim any responsibility.Recommend testing GFI(s) on a regular basis.

[Note] 6889.01: The bathroom areas of the home wasinspected and reported on with the enclosed information.Bathrooms are high-use areas containing many elementssubject to ongoing wear and periodic malfunction,particularly fixtures and other elements associated with theplumbing system. Water flow and drainage evaluations arelimited to a visual assessment of functional flow andfunctional drainage. The function and water tightness offixture overflows or other internal fixture componentsgenerally cannot be inspected. Anticipate the possibility ofleakage or other concerns developing with normalusage/aging or as concealed conditions are discovered withmaintenance work or upon removal of carpeting, tile,shower enclosures, etc. Normal usage cannot be simulatedduring a standard home inspection. The water tightness ofall surfaces exposed to water must be maintained on aregular basis by caulking, grouting, or other means to theshowers, tubs, toilets, cabinets and baseboards, etc., formoisture protection. Showers and tub enclosures are highleakage, high maintenance areas. Leaks in these area canoccur at any time. It is recommend to regularly monitorthese areas for leaks.Due to the potential hazards associated with electriccomponents located in bathroom areas, any identifiedconcern should be addressed immediately. Ground-fault

If present,interior steps, stairways, balconies, railings, counters, and arepresentative number of cabinets & doors were observed.A representative number of windows (in terms of opening &locking mechanisms, and operation) were observed.If present, fire separation walls, ceilings, & doors between theattached garage and living space or other dwellings wereobserved.Smoke alarms (if present) were examined for visible conditionand location placement (in most cases there is no requirement

for the inspector to test these).Ceiling fans (if present) were observed (and tested if electricitywas on, and non-remote control switches were present).Laundry room venting system, if installed, was observed (andtested if electricity was on). For limits of inspection of centralvacuuming (if present), see inspection agreement.Intruder alarms and internal communication systems (if present)were not checked by the inspector.Significant visible deficiencies or potential concerns, if any, arereported below (however, any deficiencies in bathroom walls,ceilings, floors, or cabinets may be addressed under theBATHROOM section, and kitchen cabinets may be addressedunder the KITCHEN section).

Visible interior systems or components are indicated by type ordescribed in the components section.

The following is a message regarding mold from the UnitedStates Environmental Protection Agency.Molds produce tiny spores to reproduce. Mold spores waftthrough the indoor and outdoor air continually. When moldspores land on a damp spot indoors, they may begin growingand digesting whatever they are growing on in order to survive.There are molds that can grow on wood, paper, carpet, andfoods. When excessive moisture or water accumulates indoors,mold growth will often occur, particularly if the moisture problemremains undiscovered or un-addressed. There is no practicalway to eliminate all mold and mold spores in the indoorenvironment; the way to control indoor mold growth is to controlmoisture.http://www.epa.gov/mold/

The client is advised to consider all findings associated withmoisture, such as, but not limited to, stains, leaks, vapor barrierdefects, exhaust fan failures, etc., as conditions conducive to thegrowth of molds and other fungi, whether direct informationregarding mold is provided by the inspector or not.

[Note] 7965.01: The interior of the home was inspectedand reported on with the enclosed information.While the inspector makes every effort to find all areas of

concern, some areas can go unnoticed. The visualinspection did not involve moving furniture, area rugs orcarpets, empty closets or cabinets, areas behind wallcoverings, pictures, beds or under appliances or theevaluation of window treatments, or areas obstructed fromview. If furnishings or item mentioned above are presentduring the inspection, it is recommend to carefully check allareas on your walk through. The inspector(s) cannotascertain the conditions during a limited visual homeinspection.Your inspector may not comment on cosmetic deficienciessuch as the cracks that appear around windows and doors,or which follow the lines of framing members and the

seams of drywall and plasterboard. These cracks are aconsequence of, but not limited to, movement such ascommon settling and wood shrinkage and will oftenreappear if not repaired correctly. Such crack can bedisputed, and are therefore best evaluated by a specialist.Similarly, there are a number of environmental pollutantsthat can contaminate a home, such as asbestos, carbonmonoxide, radon gas, formaldehyde, urea-formaldehyde,lead based paints, and a variety of molds and fungi thatrequire specialized testing equipment, which is beyond ourexpertise and the scope of our service. Refer to appropriatecontractor(s) for an additional opinion(s) or corrections ifnecessary before the close of escrow. There are lessercontaminates, such as odors that are typically caused bymoisture penetrating concealed slabs, or those caused byhousehold pets, cigarette smoke that can permeate walls,carpets, heating and air conditioning ducts, and otherporous surfaces, which can be difficult to eradicate.However, inasmuch as the sense of smell adjusts rapidly,and the sensitivity to such odors is not uniform, it isrecommended that you make this determination for yourselfand particularly if your or any member of your family suffersfrom allergies or asthma, schedule whatever remedialservices may be deemed necessary before the close ofescrow.

Windows in sleeping rooms must meet certain requirementsfor emergency egress.It is recommended to test smoke alarm(s) on a monthly

Whentesting the smoke alarm(s), it is only testing the audiocomponents, be aware that the smoke alarm(s) may notfunction correctly in the event of smoke and/or fire. Theexisting smoke detector(s) were not tested today, but theyare only noted as to be present. Carbon Monoxidedetectors, it is recommended to install carbon monoxidedetectors for safety in appropriate areas in the home forearly leak detection of this potentially deadly gas forstructures with gas appliances for added safety.It is recommended to clean the laundry room exhaust fan(s)on a regular basis.

It is also recommended to clean the lint trap on the dryerbefore or after each use. Failure to do so could result in apotential fire. The dryer exhaust ducts should be cleanedwhen moving into the home and on a regular basis as anongoing maintenance item. Full inspection of the garagemay be limited due to storage / vehicles, recommend tocheck carefully on walk through if items in garage arepresent.Double pane window are present throughout this house.Although we do our best to locate bad seals in the windows,this is not always possible due to the varying temperatureand weather conditions We recommend review of thewindows again on the day of closing for evidence of

moisture between the panes of glass. Be advised due toweather conditions, temperature, cleanliness of thewindows, etc, it is extremely difficult to tell if dual-panewindow seals are intact. Unfortunately, this is not alwaysapparent, which is why your inspector does disclaim anevaluation of hermetic seals. Every effort was made toexamine each window for lost seals. Please view all thewindows again at different times of the day. Ceiling fan(s).We do not fully evaluate all speeds of the fan(s) or anyvariable brightness control for the light(s), only that they areresponding to the switch. If fan has a remote control device,it must be present at the time of the inspection to test thefan.

[+] 9905.10: Positive photoGood level of insulation in attic.See Photo(s) 9905.10.


[Note] 9909.01: The structure was inspected and reportedon with the enclosed information.

Due to typical design and accessibility constraints such asinsulation, storage, finished attic surfaces, roofing products,etc., many elements and areas, including major structuralcomponents, are often at least partially concealed fromview and cannot be inspected. Also, we do not move ordisturb any portion of the insulation, which may well obscurewater pipes, electrical conduits, junction boxes, exhaustfans, and other components. A standard home inspectiondoes not include an evaluation of the adequacy of the roofstructure to support any loads, the thermal value or energyefficiency of any insulation, the integrity of vapor retarders,or the operation of thermostatically controlled fans. Inevaluating the type and amount of insulation on the atticfloor, we use only generic terms and approximatemeasurements, and do not sample or test its compositionfor a specific identification.It is recommended that small cracks or voids in the concretefoundation stem walls should be filled and the exposedareas should be repainted.Joints between dissimilar materials, such as stucco to wood,stucco to metal flashings, stucco to window and doorframes, stucco weep screed and the concrete stem walletc., should be sealed and caulked for moisture and pestprotection.Access impaired, due to the finished areas of floor ( floor

covering, etc.) in the property, we are unable to evaluate thefloor slab system. The inspector(s) cannot ascertain thecondition during a limited visual home inspection. There
