Report Summary
Report Summary
The summary below consists of potentially significant findings. These findings can be a safety
hazard, a deficiency requiring a major expenses to correct or items I would like to draw extra
attention to. The summary is not a complete listing of all the findings in the report, and reflects the
opinion of the inspector. Please review all of the pages of the report as the summary alone does not
explain all the issues. All repairs must be done by a licensed &bonded trade or profession. I
recommend obtaining a copy of all receipts, warranties and permits for the work done.
Interior Areas
Page 7 Item: 9 Smoke Detectors • **SMOKE DETECTORS**
• The smoke alarm did not operate when tested. Recommend
replacement.
Page 8 Item: 11 Window-Wall AC or • Although the furnace appears to be functioning properly, we
Heat recommend a standard service evaluation of this equipment
by a qualified HVAC technician.
Bedroom 2
Page 15 Item: 13 Window Condition • The inside layer of glass has been broken out of the window
facing to the south. Recommend review for replacement.
Bathroom
Page 19 Item: 19 Toilets • Although functional, this toilet is very loose at the base.
Recommend evaluation of the wax seal and proper re
installation of this toilet by a licensed plumbing contractor.
Kitchen
Page 21 Item: 3 Dishwasher • No drain loop observed at the dishwasher drain line.
Recommend adequate loop be created to prevent back flow
conditions to the dishwasher.
Page 22 Item: 9 Sinks • **DRAINS**
• Flex drain observed at the sink waste connection. This type
of connection is prone to clogging. Recommend replacement
with proper waste connection as per industry standards.
Page 23 Item: 15 Vent Condition • The vent did not respond to the switch and appears to be
well beyond service life. Recommend adequate ventilation be
installed and vented properly through the roof.
Page 24 Item: 24 GFCI • GFCI protected receptacles may not have been required
when the house was built. We suggest buyer consider
upgrading with GFCI's at all receptacles near water sources.
Laundry
Page 27 Item: 9 Wash Basin • SUPPLY:
• The hot water valve is stuck shut. Recommend replacement
of this fixture.
• The laundry sink cabinet is not secured to the wall.
Recommend improvement.
Page 27 Item: 10 Floor Condition • The flooring at this location is severely buckled and gouged.
Recommend review for replacement.
Water Heater
Page 29 Item: 5 Water Heater • This heater was manufactured in 1999, is roughly 16 years
Condition old and near the end of expected service life. Recommend

Scott B. Moore Construction 625 S. Ivy St., Medford, OR

Page 30 Item: 8 Gas Valve • There is no debris trap in this gas connection. Impurities can
enter the combustion chamber and possibly be corrosive.
Recommend adequate trap and new valve be installed for
safety reasons.
Page 30 Item: 10 Overflow Condition • The extension at the water heater relief valve is missing.
This is a potential scalding concern as water can discharge
improperly. Recommend installing the proper type of relief
extension to discharge to the exterior of the home as per
industry standards.
Garage
Page 33 Item: 1 Roof Condition • Severe wear, loss of granules and broken shingles observed
throughout the roof. Recommend review for costs of removal
and replacement of this roof by a licensed roofing contractor
before closing.
Page 34 Item: 2 Walls • The garage appears to not be a permitted structure. Several
basic framing violations observed. Based on the date stamp
on the roof sheathing, this structure was assembled in the
1990's when such requirements would be in place. The lap
siding has been applied directly to the framing members and
is not considered to be structural. Plywood or OSB sub siding
with vapor barrier should have been installed over the studs
before the siding was applied.

Consider upgrading this condition by first installing anchor


bolts through the bottom plate of the walls and into the
concrete. Only nails are holding the walls in place at this time.
Cover the studs with an approved vapor barrier and then
install OSB or plywood over the bare studs and nail
appropriately. Consider insulating the stud bays before
covering up.
Page 35 Item: 3 Anchor Bolts • We recommend retrofit style anchor bolts where necessary.
Page 36 Item: 7 GFCI • No GFCI protection present, suggest installing GFCI
protected receptacles for safety.
Page 36 Item: 9 Exterior Door • Although functional, this door is very weathered.
Recommend scrapping and painting as needed.
Page 36 Item: 10 Fire Door • The door between the garage/laundry area and house is not
a fire rated door. This may not have been required when
originally built. Fire doors are fundamental to the integrity of
fire barriers which provide resistance to the spread of fire,
smoke, and toxic gasses. This means that should a fire occur
in the garage, this door does not afford protection until fire-
rescue people arrive. This door should be replaced with a fire
rated door.
Roof
Page 40 Item: 7 Gutter • Evidence of gutter leaks throughout the perimeter of the
home. Recommend review for repairs or replacements as
needed by a qualified gutter technician.
Attic
Page 42 Item: 3 Ventilation • The attic fan appears to be inactive. Recommend evaluation
and repair.
Page 42 Item: 6 Electrical • Open wire splices observed. Recommend evaluation by a
licensed electrician and adequate junction boxes with covers
be installed.
Page 2 of 54
Scott B. Moore Construction 625 S. Ivy St., Medford, OR

Exterior Areas
Page 45 Item: 3 Siding Condition • Dry rot observed on the lower section of the garage walls.
Some due to ground contact and some due to the sprinklers
too close to the walls. Recommend invasive evaluation of
these conditions by a licensed siding contractor.
Page 46 Item: 4 Eaves & Facia • Peeling paint observed on the soffits of the home, suggest
scraping and painting as necessary. Mold like staining
observed on the eaves of the garage. Recommend cleaning
and monitoring this condition.
Grounds
Page 47 Item: 3 Vegetation • Prune or remove any plants that are in contact or proximity
Observations to home to eliminate pathways of wood destroying insects.
Page 48 Item: 8 GFCI • Outdoor receptacles are not GFCI protected, recommend
upgrade to industry standards.
Foundation
Page 51 Item: 6 Vent Screens • Vent screens noted as sealed off at several locations.
Recommend opening these vents back up and repairing
screens as needed.
Page 52 Item: 7 Access Panel • Limited inspection from the access area only due to
plumbing in the way. There appears to be an access at the
north exterior of the home but is covered with debris.
Recommend adequate access be provided for general visual
assessments of the crawlspace and standard service
evaluation and maintenance of the gas furnace in the
crawlspace.

We appreciate the opportunity to conduct this inspection for you! Please carefully read your entire
Inspection Report. Call us after you have reviewed your report, so we can go over any questions
you may have. Remember, when the inspection is completed and the report is delivered, we are still
available to you for any questions you may have, throughout the entire closing process.
Properties being inspected do not "Pass" or "Fail.” - The following report is based on an inspection
of the visible portion of the structure; inspection may be limited by vegetation and possessions.
Depending upon the age of the property, some items like GFI outlets may not be installed; this
report will focus on safety and function, not current code. This report identifies specific non-
code, non-cosmetic concerns that the inspector feels may need further investigation or repair.
For your safety and liability purposes, we recommend that licensed contractors evaluate and repair
any critical concerns and defects. Note that this report is a snapshot in time. We recommend
that you or your representative carry out a final walk-through inspection immediately before
closing to check the condition of the property, using this report as a guide.

Interior Areas
The Interior section covers areas of the house that are not considered part of the Bathrooms,
Bedrooms, Kitchen or areas covered elsewhere in the report. Interior areas usually consist of
hallways, foyer, and other open areas. Within these areas the inspector is performing a visual
inspection and will report visible damage, wear and tear, and moisture problems if seen. Personal
items in the structure may prevent the inspector from viewing all areas on the interior.

The inspector does not usually test for mold or other hazardous materials. A qualified expert should
be consulted if you would like further testing.

Bathroom
Bathrooms can consist of many features from jacuzzi tubs and showers to toilets and bidets.
Because of all the plumbing involved it is an important area of the house to look over. Moisture in the
air and leaks can cause mildew, wallpaper and paint to peel, and other problems. The home
inspector will identify as many issues as possible but some problems may be undetectable due to
problems within the walls or under the flooring..

2. Walls
Good Fair Poor N/A None
Observations:
X • Personal items in garage block complete inspection of all floor, wall and
ceiling areas.
• The garage appears to not be a permitted structure. Several basic framing
violations observed. Based on the date stamp on the roof sheathing, this
structure was assembled in the 1990's when such requirements would be in
place. The lap siding has been applied directly to the framing members and
is not considered to be structural. Plywood or OSB sub siding with vapor
barrier should have been installed over the studs before the siding was
applied.

Consider upgrading this condition by first installing anchor bolts through the
bottom plate of the walls and into the concrete. Only nails are holding the
walls in place at this time. Cover the studs with an approved vapor barrier
and then install OSB or plywood over the bare studs and nail appropriately.
Consider insulating the stud bays before covering up.

10. Fire Door
Good Fair Poor N/A None
Observations:
X • The door between the garage/laundry area and house is not a fire rated
door. This may not have been required when originally built. Fire doors are
fundamental to the integrity of fire barriers which provide resistance to the
spread of fire, smoke, and toxic gasses. This means that should a fire occur
in the garage, this door does not afford protection until fire-rescue people
arrive. This door should be replaced with a fire rated door.

Roof
1. Roof Condition
Good Fair Poor N/A None
Materials: Roof was visually inspected from accessible points on the interior
X and/or exterior. If a roof is too high, is too steep, is wet, or is composed of
materials which can be damaged if walked upon, the roof is not mounted.
Materials: Composition shingles noted.
Observations:
• Moderate wear and loss of granules observed throughout the roof. With
normal maintenance this roof should have several years of service life
remaining.
• Minor amounts of moss on roof. This can lead to the premature failure of
the roof and subsequent leaks. Recommend treating moss during its growing
season (wet months) with a moss killer. For information on various moss
treatment products and their pros and cons, visit
