NI NP R Inspection Item

I. STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS
o o o A. Foundations (If all crawl space areas are not inspected, provide an explanation .)
Comments (An opinion on performance is mandatory.):
o Functioning as intended 0 Not functioning as intended
Type of Foundation :
Slab on Grade 0 Pier and Beam 0 Pier and Beam With Pilings 0 Unknown 0
Type of re-enforcement: Post-tension Cable 0 Rebar 0 Unknown 0
This inspector does not check or research the soil analysis, tests, etc. This is the
responsibility of the engineering design at the initial time of construction and varies
for different areas, even within the same community. Foundation footings vary in
depth usually from 24" to 32", depending on soil conditions, etc. This inspector
and this company will not be responsible for any foundation failures caused by soil
shifting or fault lines, etc. Water ponding around the foundation beam could cause
swelling and foundation problems, etc. Tree roots can extend as far as the ends of
the tree limbs.
Acceptance of present and future condition I performance I maintenance of
the property rests solely on the buyer.

NOTE: There is no solid concrete slab. This is designed with heavy, large beams
under the first floor level.

NOTE: I viewed the crawl space under the house which is protected by heavy duty
metal screen when I found an opening where the screen on rear access hole was
already loose.

Comment: Foundations move with varying soil and weather conditions - first a
long wet season causing the soil to swell, followed by a long dry season , causing
the soil to pull away from the foundation as much as 2" wide possibly causing
damage to the foundation or vice versa. Therefore, I recommend some means of
watering the soil adjacent to the foundation evenly throughout the year to prevent
foundation damage. Also, any large trees should be watered for the same reason ,
especially trees close to the foundation. In dry seasons, the tree roots extend
under the interior areas of the foundation in search of moisture. In dry seasons, the
edges of the house foundation beams dry out and can have edge fall. The center
under the slab is usually the dormant area of the slab. Recommend separate
sprinkler heads around the trees and around the perimeter of the foundation for
proper watering to achieve moisture stabilization . All small trees, (seedlings, etc.),
within 20' of the foundation should be removed to help prevent future foundation
problems.

o o o B. Grading & Drainage


Comments: (Includes Gutters, Downspouts, Landscaping, etc.) Drainage of the
back yard should drain around the house to the front yard either with proper
grading of the yard or via yard drains and piping system . Water ponding around the
foundation beam could cause swelling and foundation problems, etc.

D D D C. Roof Covering (If the roof is inaccessible, report the method used to inspect.)
Comments: This inspection does not provide any warranty on the roof.
This inspector makes every effort to inspect for roof leaks; however, a hard
wind blown rain is the only sure method of finding a roof leak. Some builders
do not install flashing under the overlay of shingles in the valleys which can
cause roof leaks. Skylights and fireplace chimneys are also prone to roof
leaking problems. It is recommended that the buyer inspect the underside of
the roof, including the valleys, etc. annually for possible roof leaks, especially
during a hard rainstorm. It is not always possible to detect roof leaks or water
stains during dry weather. This inspector will not be responsible for any roof
leaks that are not visible on the day of this inspection. Rubber roof jacks, (if
applicable), will most likely deteriorate between 5 to 10 years and crack at the
top of the roof jacks. Suggest an annual check of all roof jacks to prevent any
possible roof leaks.

Method used to inspect roof:


Walked on Roof 0 Viewed From Ground 0
Type of covering : Composition 0 Wood shingles D Tile D Flat roof D
Turbine vents: D Power vents: D Ridge vents: 0 Air Hocks: D

The slope of the roof was too steep/too high to walk on SAFELY.

D D D D. Roof Structure & Attic (If the attic is inaccessible, report the method used to
inspect.)
Comments: This inspector makes every effort to inspect the roof structure
very thoroughly; however, I am not a design engineer. Purlins, shall be sized
no less than the required size of the rafters that they support. Purl ins shall
be continuous and shall be supported by 2" by 4" struts installed to bearing
walls at a slope not less than 45 degrees from the horizontal. The struts,
(roof braces), shall be spaced not more than 4 feet on center and the
unbraced length of the struts shall not exceed 8 feet. Most of the time, the
load bearing walls, are not visible, because they are covered with insulation.
This inspector does not inspect the lower ends of all the roof braces s ince
most of the time they are covered with loose insulation.

The underside of the decking in the attic was thoroughly inspected while using a
portable light for any water stains from leaks, etc. except for the far corners, some
of the lower ends of the valleys, most of the soffit boards and areas with vaulted
ceilings.
Attic Accessible? Yes 0 (about 30%) No 0 (about 70%)
Presence of Insulation : Yes 0 No 0 Depth of Insulation(approx) 0-14 inches
Type of insulation : Blanket D Loose D Combination 0 (mostly loose)

1. The zero insulation is around the attic pull down door, especially on the right
side of the attic pull down door, as viewed when in the attic.

1. Some of the lower edges of the walls are damaged and warped on the east side
of the wall , basically about 4' to 6' below and to the left of the exterior light
fixture on the east wall.
2. There is a hole about 1" x 3", (located at the rear wall to the left of the rain
downspout). Rain water could easily enter through this hole into the crawl
space.
3. A large gap is located at the north end of the front brick wall and at the base of
the exterior stairs. This opening is from 1" to 1 Yz" wide. Rodents could enter
into the crawl space.

NOTE: All bathroom and other bedroom doors do have locks for the doors.

Exterior Doors
Comments: (Includes Garage Doors)
Recommend you change out the exterior door locks for the house with keyed locks,
both inside and outside, for your personal protection .

NOTE: None of the exterior doors have keyed locks, only thumb lock dead bolt
locks with keyed locks from the exterior side of the locks.

0 0 0 H. Windows
Comments: ( Includes Window Frames, etc.)This inspector does not check for
insulated windows. This inspector only calls for caulking of windows if there is
evidence of moisture penetration or possible moisture penetration. Moisture at the
inside, lower corners of the window sills and lower edges of the sheetrock can be
the result of condensation from single pane windows and/or rain moisture seepage
due to the lack of, or the drying out of the exterior caulking .

1. The lower edges of all five windows for the patios are less than 18" from the
floor. The lower edges of all windows range from 10" to 10 ~" above the main
living area . This could be a POTENTAl HAZARDOUS CONDITION, especially
for small children .
NOTE: These windows all have tempered glass, which lowers the risk to small
children ; however, the windows should be a minimum of 18" above the floor level.
2. The two master bedroom windows on the doors to the small patio are only
10 ~" above the floor level. This also could be a POTENTAl HAZARDOUS
CONDITION , especially for small children .
3. There are no window screens installed for any windows.

Comments: This inspector removes the electrical panel covers (if possible) and
visually checks for copper and/or aluminum wires, compares the sizes of the
wires to the breaker sizes, etc. The minimum allowable size of the MAIN
breaker is 100 amps. This inspector does not recalculate the total load
requirements of all the branch circuits. This would be an extensive, tedious
procedure and is supposed to be calculated by the electrical design engineer
and can be recalculated by a licensed electrical contractor. This is beyond the
scope of a visual inspection.

Copper 0 Aluminum 0
Sub panels: Yes 0 No 0 -- Copper 0 Aluminum 0
1. The "white" wires that are used as "HOT" wires need to be properly identified as
"HOT" wires by placing a piece of black electrical tape on the wire at the load
side of these breakers. This could be a potential HAZARDOUS CONDITION , if
not properly identified.

A licensed electrician should be called to make all of the above listed repairs.

o o o B. Branch Circuits - Connected Devices and Fixtures (Report as in need of repai r


the lack of ground fault circuit protection where required .):
Comments: This inspector visually checks for copper and/or aluminum wiring,
overheated wire conditions, receptacles, etc. All G.F.C.I. receptacles need to
be actuated at least once each month. Otherwise they will tend to hang-up or
stick and may not be functional when they really need to be protecting the
human being from an electrical shock.

III. HEATING, VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS


o o A. Heating Equipment
Comments: General information for one or more furnaces: This inspector shall
make every effort to evaluate the heat exchanger (s), if applicable; however,
full evaluation of the integrity of a heat exchanger requires the furnace to be
dismantled and is BEYOND the scope of a visual inspection.

1. There is visible light showing around the vent pipe where it protrudes through
the roof. The roofer needs to provide a good seal around this vent pipe. The
present condition could cause rain water intrusion , etc.
2. The furnace did not appear to function.

Suggest you check the blower fan and motor periodically to be certain they are
clean , etc.
A licensed HVAC contractor needs to make all of the above listed repairs,
then thoroughly recheck the systems for proper operations.

o o B. Cooling Equipment

feet per minute of air flow out of the supply air register, (b) the size of the
return air ducts, (c) the size of the suction and discharge lines which varies
with the different lengths, and condensing units, (d) the size of the
evaporator coils, (e) the size of the condensing unit cooling coils, (f) the
speed of the blower fan for the evaporator unit, (g) the age of the condensing
unit, and (h) if there are any restrictions in the ducts, especially where they
go down through air duct chases from the attic to the first floor areas, etc.
It is best not to mow the grass when the condensing unit is running. Grass
clippings could plug the aluminum fins on the condensing unit.
The "differential temperature" needs to usually be about 14°F.; however,
other factors can cause it to appear to be low on Freon, such as dirty return
air filters, clogged or partially clogged intake side of the evaporator, air leaks
around the Freon lines, and air leaks under the evaporator, air ducts, etc.

Unit: A: Upstairs AlC System, Amana Copeland Scroll with the Goodman
Manufacturing Co. design
Type And Energy Source: Central Air, Electric
Supply: 57 OF. Return: 71°F. Temperature Differential : 14 of .

NOTE: There is only one AlC handler for both the downstairs and upstairs air
supply. This is "Correct" when they are designed for "duel use" for both the
downstairs and the upstairs.

1. There is a moderate air leak at the vent pipe, (located at the primary drain). A
%" cap needs to be installed on the top of the vent pipe - not glued - and then
drill a 1/8" hole in the top of the newly installed vent cap for venting purposes.
2. There is an air leak on the front side of the evaporator, (located just to the left of
the furnace vent pipe).
NOTE: This condensing unit runs very quietly and smooth .

Unit: B: Downstairs AlC System


Type And Energy Source: Central Air, Electric
Supply: 52 of . Return : 67 of . Temperature Differential: 15 of .

NOTE: Per the manufacture; this air handler has an 80% efficiency. NOTE: I could
not physically access the condensing unit because the steel gate had a padlock on
it.

A licensed HVAC contractor needs to make all of the above listed repairs;
then thoroughly recheck the systems for proper operations.
Suggest you check annually to be certain that the drainpipe for the overflow pan
and the primary drainpipe for the evaporator are not plugged. Check the intake
side of the evaporator on an annual basis to make certain it is clean . Check for air
leaks around the evaporator, etc., periodically. Reason: Tape glue dries out and
loosens. Mastic material is the best seal for air leaks at the air handler.

D D C. Ducts and Vents


Comments: The lower part of all air ducts should not be resting on the top of any
inSUlation. Reason : It could possibly cause condensation problems and cause
water stains on the ceiling sheetrock.

o o C. Water Heating Equipment (Report as in need of repair those conditions specifically


listed as recognized hazards by TREC rules.)
Comments: The hot water heater should be set no higher than 120 degrees F.
Water that is too hot can scald children. Some tub and shower converter valves
are adjustable to preset the water temperatures to the owners' wishes so that the
temperature is not a SCALDING TEMPERATURE.
Temperature and pressure relief valves should be inspected AT LEAST ONCE
EVERY THREE YEARS by a licensed plumbing contractor, and replaced if
necessary. Excessive corrosion can cause the valve to become defective. This
valve should always have gravity flow. Suggest you check annually to be certain
that the drainpipe for the overflow pan is not plugged .
CAUTION: Keep flammable products in tightly closed, approved containers and
keep them far away from all of the garage appliances. This will reduce , but not
eliminate, the risk of vapors being ignited by the main burners or pilot light on a gas
hot water heater or the electrical contacts on garage appliances.
