Pushing the "Test" button only verifies that there is power at the detector - ethier a battery or hard wired to the house power - and not the operational workings of the detectors. the operational check is done by filling the sensor with smoke and is beyond the scope of this inspection. Batter operated smoke alarms should be routinely and the batteries change frequently.

The manufacturers have beeninvolved with and settled class action lawsuits alleging manufacturing defectswith this plumbing system containing plastic or metal insert fittings (includingcopper and brass). For further details about PB contact the ConsumerPlumbing Recovery center at 800-392-7591 or the web:http://www.pbpipe.com or http://www.polybutylene.comRecommend you research further this type of plumbing system and rely onthe evaluation and advice of a licensed plumbing contractor prior to the closeof escrow.

Water

1. Water MainGood Fair Poor N/A None

✓Location:• Polybutylene (PB) was a plastic manufactured between 1978 and mid-1995for use as piping in home plumbing systems.

Pipes made from polybutylene wereinstalled in up to 10 million homes in the Unites States during that period.Despite its strengths, production was ceased in mid-1996 after scores ofallegations surfaced claiming that polybutylene pipes were rupturing andcausing property damage. In the homes that still contain this material,homeowners must either pay to have the pipes replaced or risk a potentiallyexpensive plumbing failure.• Polybutylene (PB) plumbing observed at the time of inspection,Recommend having a licensed plumber evaluate for repair/replacement asneeded.
