Dear Richard Cummings,
RE: Report No. 2029, v.214517 Sedona Dr.Oklahoma City, OK73142
Here is your Inspection Report and again thank you for allowing me to do your inspection, I hope you find the report bothuseful and informative.
The purpose of the home inspection and subsequent report is to assist you in making an informed decision about yourpotential purchase. My primary focus is on significant deficiencies by paying particular attention to those components thatare expensive to fix, replace or that may present a safety issue.
During the course of the inspection, issues of lesser significance may be uncovered and they will be documented as well.However, please do not misinterpret this as an exhaustive list of all minor defects as that is not the intent of a homeinspection.
Components and/ or Systems listed in the "System or Component Description" section have been inspected and arefunctioning as intended. Deficiencies or concerns will be noted in the "Findings and Recommendations" section as willany component that may be functional but is clearly near the end of its life cycle.
It is especially important that you read the report in its entirety and contact me if you have questions or need any furtherclarification.
Sincerely,
Richard Cummingson behalf ofCornerstone Residential Inspections, LLC

SLOPED ROOF FLASHINGS \ Roof to sidewall - flashingsCondition: Siding not cut backAll siding should have a 2" clearance from the roof surface to prevent damage from water being wicked up into the loweredge.Location: West Side - RoofTask: Improvement AdvisedTime: For Future Consideration
SLOPED ROOF FLASHINGS \ Plumbing, flue or roof vent flashingsCondition: Flashing collarThe rubber collar of the plumbing vent flashing has collapsed. This will allow water to pond prematurely deteriorating thecollar eventually leading to a roof leak.Location: Rear - RoofTask: Repair RequiredTime: As Soon As Possible
SLOPED ROOF FLASHINGS \ Drip and rake edge flashingsCondition: Missing drip and rake flashingsThere is wood rot of a portion of the fascia trim on the Eastside. Metal drip and rake edge flashings are designed toprotect the roof decking, fascias, and soffits from water damage. Repair damaged areas and monitoring these areasannually for any additional signs of damage and add these flashings at the next re-roofing.Implication(s): Possible water damage to roof decking, fascias, and soffits.Location: All Sides - RoofTask: Repair and Monitoring AdvisedTime: Annually
Exterior
ROOF DRAINAGE \ DownspoutsCondition: Discharge too closeFor foundation protection, gutter runoff should discharge 6' from the building. This may be achieved through the use ofdownspout extensions. If the addition of extensions is not feasible then I recommend adding "splash blocks" under alldownspouts.

The large-diameter line (suction line) should beinsulated along its entire length. The insulation has two functions: The first, to prevent the suction line from sweating anddripping water inside the house and secondly, to prevent the suction line from heating up outdoors on its way to thecompressor. We are trying to remove heat from inside and carry it outside and so we don't want to collect more outdoorheat in the suction line before it goes into the compressor.Implication(s): Reduced system life expectancy | Increased cooling costs | Reduced comfortLocation: West Side - A/CTask: Repair or Replacement RequiredTime: As Soon As Possible

ATTACHED GARAGE \ Vehicle doors and operatorsCondition: Single torsion springA single spring on a double-wide door provides adequate counterbalance, however, the compression of a single springputs added stress on the center bearing and components opposite the spring. Over time, premature failure of the centerbearing, bracket, and end bearing plate can occur. Two spring systems even out this stress and extend the life of thecomponents. They also ease manual operation in the event of a power or opener failure, and can still provide liftingstrength should one spring break.Location: Garage - Double-wide Overhead Door

Findings and Recommendations
RECOMMENDATIONS \ General9. Condition: GFCI protected outlets (breakers) have been known to trip during electrical storms, therefore, it is notadvised to use a GFCI protected outlet for refrigerators, freezers, or sump pumps. In addition, GFCI protected outlets andbreakers have differing life expediencies depending on the manufacturer and should be routinely tested and replaced ifthe test fails.
