Report OverviewHow to Read This Report

Observation Labels System and components are rated as follows:

SATISFACTORY - The component is performing to it's intended purpose at the time of inspection. It may show signs of normal wear and be in need of regular maintenance.

MARGINAL - The component will be in need of regular maintenance, repair or replacement in the near future.

POOR - The component will need repair or replacement in the immediate future.

SAFETY HAZARD - The components condition at the time of the inspection was unsafe and in need of prompt attention. The age of the home is taken into consideration when addressing safety hazards and components that were not considered safety hazards at the time of birth are recommend upgrades.

Further Evaluation Whenever further evaluation of a system or component is recommended, this further evaluation or should be done by at least one licensed professional and qualified contractor prior to closing as there is a chance of hidden costs or problems associated with the system or component in question.

What Your Home Inspection IsPurpose of a Home Inspection The purpose of a home inspection is to help reduce the risk that comes with the purchase of a house by providing a professional opinion about the overall condition of the structure. A home inspection is a limited visual inspection and it cannot eliminate this risk. Some homes present more risks than others, we cannot control this. We do however, try to help educate you about what we don t know during the inspection process. This is more difficult to convey in a report and one of many reasons why we recommend that you attend the inspection. A written report will not substitute for all the possible information that can be conveyed verbally by a shared visual observation of the conditions of the property.

Your Expectations The overall goal of a home inspection is to help insure that your expectations are appropriate with the house you are proposing to buy. To this end we assist with discovery by showing and documenting observations during the home inspection. This should not be mistaken for a technically exhaustive inspection designed to uncover every defect with a building. Such inspections are available but they are generally cost-prohibitive to most home buyers.

A Home Inspection is Visual and Not Destructive The descriptions and observations in this report are based on a visual inspection of the structure. We inspect the aspects of the structure that can be viewed without dismantling, damaging or disfiguring the structure and without moving furniture and interior furnishings. Areas that are concealed, hidden or inaccessible to view are not covered by this inspection. Some systems cannot be tested during this inspection as testing risks damaging the building. For example, overflow drains on bathtubs are generally not tested because if they were found to be leaking they could damage the finishes below. Our procedures involve non-invasive investigation and non-destructive testing which will limit the scope of the inspection.

This is Just Our Opinion Construction techniques and standards vary. There is no one way to build a house or install a system in a house. The observations in this report are the opinions of the home inspector. Other inspectors and contractors are likely to have some differing opinions. You are welcome to seek opinions from other professionals.

The Scope of This Inspection This inspection will include the following systems: exterior, roof, structure, drainage, foundation, attic, interior, plumbing, electrical and heating. The evaluation will be based on limited observations that are primarily visual and non-invasive. This inspection and report are not intended to be technically exhaustive. For more about the scope of a home inspection see: Washington State Home Inspection Standards at http://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=18.280.030




Report OverviewWhat Your Home Inspection Is Not

A Home Inspection is Not an Insurance Policy This report does not substitute for or serve as a warranty or guarantee of any kind. Home warranties can be purchased separately from insuring firms that provide this service.

This is Not an Inspection for Code Compliance This inspection and report are not intended for city / local code compliance. During the construction process structures are inspected for code compliance by municipal inspectors. Framing is open at this time and conditions can be fully viewed. Framing is not open during inspections of finished homes, and this limits the inspection. All houses fall out of code compliance shortly after they are built, as the codes continually change. National codes are augmented at least every three years for all of the varying disciplines. Municipalities can choose to adopt and phase in sections of the codes on their own timetables. There are generally no requirements to bring older homes into compliance unless substantial renovation is being done.

Items Not Included as Part of the Home Inspection There are items that are not required to be included as part of the home inspection. It is up to the inspectors discretion to inspect the following items. In the case that they are inspect, the observations will likely be given verbally to clients that are present. Included items are as follows, but not limited to; pools and spas, outbuildings or any other detached structure, washers/dryers, shutters and awnings, window AC units, central vacuum systems, alarm and intercom systems, sprinkler systems, and any item that is not a permanent attached component of the home.

In addition, subterranean systems, such as sewer lines, septic tanks, water delivery systems, and underground fuel storage tanks are not included as part of the home inspection.

Environmental Concerns The home inspection is not required to address environmental concerns such as wood destroying organisms (carpenter ants, moisture ants, subterranean termites, damp wood termites, beetles in the family Anobiidae, and wood decay fungi, known as wood rot, etc.), environmental hazards (mold, toxins, carcinogens, noise, and contaminants in soil, water or air, etc.), and hazardous substances (mold, asbestos, lead paint, water, soil, air quality, etc.)

Comments There were typical cracks in the foundation, some had been previously patched, no repairs are needed at this time. Note: Minor settlement and shrinkage cracks are common in poured concrete and do not need repair as long as they do not continue to grow. The best way to prevent on-going settlement is by controlling roof runoff and site drainage to promote dry soils around the foundation; wet soils do not bear weight well. This will also help to prevent basement moisture problems.
