Garage

13)

The garage-house wall has a pet door installed in it. These surfaces are intended to prevent vehicle fumes from entering living spaces, and to slow the spread of fire from the garage to living spaces. A qualified contractor should repair the wall as necessary. Visit the following site: https://www.nachi.org/attached-garage-fire-hazards.htm?loadbetadesign=0

Electric service

18)

The circuit breaker installed at the basement sub panel for the exterior A/C compressor/condenser unit is incompatible with the manufacturers label. The wires for the A/C also appear to be undersized for their overcurrent protection device (circuit breaker). This is a safety hazard. A qualified electrician should evaluate and replace the breaker as necessary.

Heating and cooling

26)

The A/C condensate line is not discharging to an approved plumbing fixture or disposal area. If discharged into the drainage system, equipment shall drain by means of an indirect waste pipe. To clarify, an indirect waste pipe is something that is upstream of a trap. That means you cannot dump into anything downstream of a trap, that would include the main plumbing vent stack. A qualified HVAC contractor or plumber should repair as necessary.

Plumbing and laundry

32)

The water supply pressure is greater than 80 psi (110 psi). Pressures above 80 psi may void warranties for some appliances such as water heaters or washing machines. Flexible supply lines to washing machines are more likely to burst with higher pressures. A qualified plumber should evaluate and make modifications to reduce the pressure below 80 psi. A pressure reducing valve is installed on the main service pipe, it should be adjusted for lower pressures or replaced as necessary.

Kitchen

39)

Electric receptacles that serve countertop surfaces have no ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection. This is a safety hazard due to the risk of shock. A qualified electrician should install GFCI receptacles or circuit breaker(s) as needed. What is a GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter): https://www.cpsc.gov/s3fs-public/099_0.pdf

Bathrooms

47)

The master bathroom toilet is loose at floor. A qualified contractor should remove the toilet for further evaluation and repairs if necessary. A new wax ring should be installed and the toilet should be securely anchored to the floor to prevent movement and leaking. Care should be taken not to overtighten the bolts as you could crack the porcelain. See the following link: https://www.thespruce.com/solution-for-a-rocking-toilet-2719036
