5. Structure

5.4 Crawlspace(1) There is a significant water leak in the general vicinity of the hall bathroom. The crawlspace on this side of thehome (east side) is submerged in one to two inches of water. Please note, the standing water prevented me fromfurther inspecting the east side of the crawlspace. I would recommend de-watering the crawlspace and furthercrawlspace remediation as required. Please further consult a crawlspace remediation contractor.

9. Plumbing

9.2 Water Supply and Distribution(1) As this is a manufactured home, plumbing is generally not accessible otherwise for inspection from below thehome. Indications are that home water distribution pipes may be Polybutylene. Polybutylene piping has been thesubject of a national class action lawsuit involving certain polybutylene plumbing systems and polybutylene yardservice lines installed between January 1, 1978 through July 31, 1995. The system may become weak and failwithout warning causing damage to the building structure and personal property. I would recommend furtherevaluation of your water distribution pipes by a licensed plumber familiar with manufactured homes.(2) There is a significant water leak in the general vicinity of the hall bathroom. I would recommend furtherinvestigation and repairs by a licensed plumber.

3. Exterior

3.3 General GroundsThis manufactured home has a plywood and framed skirt around it's perimeter. Clearance from the woodenstructure to grade is inadequate in most places, as the result of built-up mulch and soil. These conditions areconducive to wood destroying organisms.

3.5 Deck, Balcony, Bridge and Porch,(1) Decking on the two back decks and front entry is in fair condition. Some peeling paint remains after stripping ofmuch of the painted surfaces. Further preservation is recommended.(2) Please note, light-weight plastic roof structures have been built over the back decks. Generally speaking, thestructures are non-standard. The adequacy of the supporting structure is unknown. Please further consult adecking contractor for further assessment and possible improvements.(3) I would recommend replacing this deck board as rot has developed. These conditions are further conducive towood destroying organisms.

5. Structure

5.3 Foundation(1) One concrete pier has a cracked supporting masonry block. One foundation pier was not shimmed and non-loadbearing. Several foundation piers have too many layers of wood (only one 2X6 and one set of shims are allowed).

1. RoofThe roof inspection portion of the General Home Inspection will not be as comprehensive as an inspection performed by a qualified roofing contractor.Because of variations in installation requirements of the huge number of different roof-covering materials installed over the years, the General HomeInspection does not include confirmation of proper installation. Home Inspectors are trained to identify common deficiencies and to recognizeconditions that require evaluation by a specialist. Inspection of the roof typically includes visual evaluation of the roof structure, roof-coveringmaterials, flashing, and roof penetrations like chimneys, mounting hardware for roof-mounted equipment, attic ventilation devices, ducts forevaporative coolers, and combustion and plumbing vents. The roof inspection does not include leak-testing and will not certify or warranty the roofagainst future leakage. Other limitations may apply and will be included in the comments as necessary.

5. StructureThe General Home Inspection includes inspection of the home structural elements that were readily visible at the time of the inspection. This mayinclude the: foundation; walls; floor structure; and/or roof structure. Soils vary in their stability and ability to support the weight of a structure. Minorcracking is normal with some common foundation materials, is typically limited to the material surface, is not a structural concern, and may not becommented on. Cracking related to soil/foundation movement indicates the potential for present or future structural concerns and will be commentedon to the best of the inspector's ability.

Much of the home structure is hidden behind exterior and interior roof, floor, wall, and ceiling coverings, or is buried underground. Because theGeneral Home Inspection is limited to visual and non-invasive methods, this report may not identify all structural deficiencies. Identification of portionsof the wall structure not directly visible requires logical assumptions on the part of the Inspector that are based on the Inspectors past experience andknowledge of common building practices.

Upon observing indications that structural problems may exist that are not readily visible, or the evaluation of which lies beyond the Inspector'sexpertise, the inspector may recommend evaluation or testing by a specialist that may include invasive measures, which would require homeownerpermission.

6. ElectricalOver the years, many different types and brands of electrical components have been installed in homes. Electrical components and standards havechanged and continue to change. Homes electrical systems are not required to be updated to meet newly enacted electrical codes or standards. Fulland accurate inspection of electrical systems requires contractor-level experience. For this reason, full inspection of home electrical systems liesbeyond the scope of the General Home Inspection.

The General Home Inspection is limited to identifying common electrical requirements and deficiencies. Conditions indicating the need for a morecomprehensive inspection will be referred to a qualified electrical contractor.Inspection of the home electrical system typically includes visualinspection of the following:service drop: conductors, weatherhead, and service mast; electric meter exterior; service panel and sub-panels; serviceand equipment grounding; system and component bonding; and visible branch wiring: receptacles (representative number), switches, lighting
