Note: Inspection of kitchen components is limited to built-in gas or electric appliances and plumbing systems, if power is supplied. These items are tested under normal operating conditions. Extensive evaluations, such as calibration of timers, heat settings and temperature probes on cooking appliances are not within the scope of this report. Note: Due to the inaccessibility of the dishwasher components, we can do no more than operate under normal operating procedures. Dishwashers can fail at any time due to their complexity. Our review is to determine if the system is free of leaks and excessive corrosion. Shutoff valves and angle stops under kitchen or bathroom sinks and toilets are not turned or tested during the inspection due to the possibility of leaking. We suggest all shutoff valves or angle stops be turned regularly to ensure free movement in case of emergency.

---

48) Water leaked from the dishwasher's air gap device when it was operated. Debris may be clogging the drain line or the garbage disposal drain plug has not been punched yet (on new units). A qualified plumber or appliance repair technician should evaluate and repair as necessary.

---

59) A carbon monoxide detector is required on every floor of your home, including the basement. A detector should be located within 10 feet of each bedroom door and there should be one near or over any attached garage. Each detector should be replaced every five to six years.

Proper placement of a carbon monoxide (CO) detector is important. If you are installing only one carbon monoxide detector, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recommends it be located near the sleeping area, where it can wake you if you are asleep. Additional detectors on every level and in every bedroom of a home provides extra protection against carbon monoxide poisoning.

Homeowners should remember not to install carbon monoxide detectors directly above or beside fuel-burning appliances, as appliances may emit a small amount of carbon monoxide upon start-up. A detector should not be placed within fifteen feet of heating or cooking appliances or in or near very humid areas such as bathrooms.

---

60) Batteries in all the smoke alarms should be replaced after taking occupancy, and annually in the future. "Chirping" noises emitted from smoke alarms typically indicate that batteries need replacing. For more information, visit:

This inspection meets or exceeds the Standards of Practice for the InterNational Association of Certified Home Inspectors (NACHI). It is intended as a general guide to help you make an evaluation as to the overall condition of the home. It is not intended to place a value on the home nor make any representation as to the advisability of purchase. It is not a guarantee or warranty. It is not an insurance policy.

The report reflects the opinion of the inspector(s), based upon visual impressions of conditions that existed at the time of inspection. The inspection is not intended to be technically exhaustive or to imply that every component in the home was inspected. No disassembly of equipment, opening of walls, moving of furniture or stored items was performed or is allowed by state requirements. All components which were concealed or obscured from observation at the time of inspection (including those concealed by clutter and stored items) are necessarily excluded from the report. Unless noted otherwise the house exterior was inspected from the ground. Only a representative sampling of parts and components (windows, electrical outlets, roof shingles, exterior wall trim and cladding, etc.) were examined and are within the scope of this inspection. Unless noted otherwise roofs and roofing materials are inspected from the ground with binoculars, from the roof edge when possible or from windows overlooking the roof.

Environmental hazards are not within the scope of the inspection and are excluded from the report. Any hazards noticed while performing the building inspection will be listed in the "Possible Environmental Hazards" section for your convenience so you can have them further investigated by an expert. These hazards include but are not limited to radon gas, carbon monoxide, lead and lead paint, buried storage tanks, asbestos, vermiculite, urea formaldehyde, and mold. Also excluded from the report are heating system heat exchangers, pools, hot tubs, spas, fountains, exterior lighting, water wells, zoning ordinances, intercoms, playground equipment, sports courts, elevators, outbuildings, septic tanks and sewage systems, water treatment equipment, security systems, sprinkler systems (both fire and lawn), bridges (over culverts, streams, ponds, etc.), generators, greenhouses, and central vacuum systems. Condo common areas are excluded. This is not an inspection for insects (including wood destroying), rodents birds, or other infestations. Reinspections or additional testing is not included and will incur an additional fee if needed. No warranty or guaranty of the home or components is implied by Coastal Home Inspections.

This inspection report is not a compliance inspection for any government codes or regulations, nor as a property or land survey. The types of water supply (public supply or private well) and waste disposal (public sewer or private septic system) cannot be accurately determined by a home inspection and were not part of your home examination. I recommend you check with your local City or other source of building records / permits to verify your type of system before purchase.
