Report SummaryReport Summary

The summary below consists of potentially significant findings. These findings can be a safetyhazard, a deficiency requiring a major expense to correct or items I would like to draw extra attentionto. The summary is not a complete listing of all the findings in the report, and reflects the opinion ofthe inspector. Please review all pages of the report as the summary alone does not explain all of theissues. All repairs should be done by a licensed & bonded tradesman or qualified professional. Irecommend obtaining a copy of all receipts, warranties and permits for the work done.ElectricalPage 5 Item: 1 Electrical Panel • Double tapped breaker(s) inside panel box (more than one

electrical conductor attached). This is not standard practice,and may cause overheating or even an electrical fire.Recommend evaluation by an electrician. Double tapping andlugging can create hot spots on breakers and neutral barsbecause they are not tightened to the correct torque--especially if two different size conductors are used. Becausethe hot [black] and neutral [white]wires are both currentcarrying conductors, the chance is then greater for potentialhot spots. If the double tap or lug becomes loose, it begins toarc. As it arcs it builds up carbon. Carbon is then resistanceand with more carbon buildup the more difficult it is for theconductor to make contact, thus increasing the current. Theend result can be the breaker tripping because of the looseconnection [current exceeding the rating of the breaker], orsigns of overheating such as discolored wires, melted wires,etc, or even fire.• Bushings missing from around branch wire(s) entering panelbox.• Breaker #6(unnamed) appears to be overheating and shouldbe replaced and circuit checked for proper wiring by alicensed electrician,

GroundsPage 12 Item: 8 Main Gas Valve

Condition• There is a gas smell present at the main valve. Werecommend contacting the gas utility company to repair.

Page 13 Item: 9 Plumbing • Corrosion is noted. Consult with a licensed plumbingcontractor to determine and correct the cause of the issue.

Page 14 Item: 11 Pressure Regulator • The pressure regulator is missing proper support. Moveswhen water is turned on and off.

Page 16 Item: 16 Fence Condition • Retaining walls are leaning.Exterior AreasPage 17 Item: 2 Window Condition • Deteriorated frame(s) at window(s)Garage7 Item: 10 Fire Door • Does Not Appear to be a Rated Fire Door

• No auto closure presentKitchenPage 48 Item: 23 Electrical • Reversed polarity, hot and neutral reversed and other terms

used for electric receptacles are usually easily corrected byminor wiring adjustments at the specified item. When theseconditions are noted in this report, a licensed electricianshould be consulted for repairs/replacement as needed toensure safety.

Definition

A double tap occurs when two conductors are connected under one screw inside a panelboard. Most circuit breakers do not support double tapping, although some manufacturers, such as like Cutler Hammer, make hardware specially designed for this purpose. Double tapping is a defect when it is used on incompatible devices. If the conductors come loose, they cause overheating and electrical arcing, and the risk of fire is also present. A double tap can be accommodated by installing a new circuit board compatible with double tapping. It is also possible to add another circuit breaker or install a tandem breaker to the existing breaker box.

INTRODUCTION: We appreciate the opportunity to conduct this inspection for you! Please carefully read your entireInspection Report. Call us after you have reviewed your report, so we can go over any questionsyou may have. Remember, when the inspection is completed and the report is delivered, we are stillavailable to you for any questions you may have, throughout the entire closing process. Properties being inspected do not "Pass" or "Fail.” - The following report is based on an inspectionof the visible portion of the structure; inspection may be limited by vegetation and possessions. Depending upon the age of the property, some items like GFCI outlets may not be installed; thisreport will focus on safety and function, not current code. This report identifies specific non-code,non-cosmetic concerns that the inspector feels may need further investigation or repair. For your safety and liability purposes, we recommend that licensed contractors evaluate and repairany critical concerns and defects. Note that this report is a snapshot in time. We recommend thatyou or your representative carry out a final walk-through inspection immediately before closing tocheck the condition of the property, using this report as a guide.

A/C The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning and cooling system (often referred to as HVAC) is theclimate control system for the structure. The goal of these systems is to keep the occupants at acomfortable level while maintaining indoor air quality, ventilation while keeping maintenance costs ata minimum. The HVAC system is usually powered by electricity and natural gas, but can also bepowered by other sources such as butane, oil, propane, solar panels, or wood. The inspector will usually test the heating and air conditioner using the thermostat or other controls.For a more thorough investigation of the system please contact a licensed HVAC service person.

GlossaryGlossary

Term Definition

ABS Acronym for acrylonitrile butadiene styrene; rigid black plasticpipe used only for drain lines.

Double Tap A double tap occurs when two conductors are connected underone screw inside a panelboard. Most circuit breakers do notsupport double tapping, although some manufacturers, such aslike Cutler Hammer, make hardware specially designed for thispurpose.

Double tapping is a defect when it is used on incompatibledevices. If the conductors come loose, they cause overheatingand electrical arcing, and the risk of fire is also present. A doubletap can be accommodated by installing a new circuit boardcompatible with double tapping. It is also possible to add anothercircuit breaker or install a tandem breaker to the existing breakerbox.

GFCI A special device that is intended for the protection of personnelby de-energizing a circuit, capable of opening the circuit wheneven a small amount of current is flowing through the groundingsystem.
