:: Please Read:
Your Home Inspection is an Invaluable Snapshot in Time:
A home inspection is an objective and visual analysis of the property's condition, serving as a valuable tool to inform your decision when purchasing a home. It captures a "snapshot in time," providing insights into the property's state at the moment of inspection. Within this snapshot, we identify both major and minor repairs, highlight positive aspects of the property, and address maintenance needs to ensure its continued functionality. Cosmetic conditions are noted for informational purposes, as a courtesy, or when relevant to potential repairs.
Compliance with Home Inspection Standards and Practices:
B.The inspection report adheres to the Standards and Practices outlined by the California Real Estate Inspection Association and the Business and Professions Code. This definition of a real estate inspection encompasses a comprehensive survey and evaluation of a building's systems and components that are readily accessible, without requiring any actions that could potentially damage the property or pose a risk to the inspector's safety.
Visible vs Latent Material Defects:
C. The real estate inspection report serves as written documentation of 'visible' material defects discovered within the inspected building's systems and components. It's important to note that invisible or latent defects, which may not be readily apparent during a standard home inspection, are not within the scope of the inspection process. Latent defects, which might include hidden structural issues or problems concealed behind walls, are beyond the inspector's ability to detect. Therefore, buyers should be aware that while a home inspection is valuable for assessing visible conditions, it may not reveal all potential hidden concerns, and additional specialized inspections may be recommended for a more comprehensive evaluation. Defects, as assessed by the Inspector, encompass safety hazards, malfunctioning elements, or those nearing the end of their service life. Recommendations for correction or further evaluation may also be included in the report to guide you in making informed decisions.
Not Technically Exhaustive:
D. It is important to note that inspections conducted in accordance with these Standards of Practice are not technically exhaustive. The scope of the inspection applies primarily to the main building and its associated primary parking structure. While we strive to provide a comprehensive assessment, the inspection does not encompass every aspect of the property and is limited to what is safely accessible and observable during the inspection process.
In Summary:
Your home inspection offers a valuable snapshot of the property's condition, complying with established standards and practices, documenting material defects, and providing essential guidance for maintaining or improving the property. However, it is not an exhaustive assessment, and some areas of the property may remain unexamined due to accessibility limitations.

We appreciate your trust in our services and are here to address any questions or concerns you may have regarding the inspection process or the report.

Sincerely, Frank Bua

1) Comment -  Home Inspection Report: New Home
Builder Customer Service and Warranties: As part of the home inspection for this new property, it is important to highlight the aspects of builder customer service and warranties that are available to the homeowner. These are crucial for addressing any potential issues that may arise after moving in and ensuring the home remains in optimal condition.
A. Builder Customer Service: Initial Walkthrough: Typically, the builder will conduct an initial walkthrough with the homeowner to identify any immediate concerns or defects. It is important to document any issues observed during this walkthrough.
***Responsive Support: The builder should provide responsive customer service to address any concerns or repairs needed during the warranty period. Ensure you have the contact information for the builder's customer service department and understand their process for submitting service requests.
B. Warranties:
1. Structural Warranty: Most new homes come with a structural warranty, often lasting 10 years, covering major structural components such as the foundation and framing. This warranty provides protection against significant defects that could affect the home's structural integrity.
2. Workmanship and Materials: Typically lasting one year, this warranty covers defects in workmanship and materials, including items such as flooring, plumbing, and electrical systems. Ensure you review the warranty documentation to understand the specific coverage and exclusions.
3. Mechanical Systems Warranty: This warranty usually covers major mechanical systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) for a period, of one to two years, depending on the Builder. Regular maintenance is essential to keep these systems in good working order and maintain warranty coverage.
4. Appliance Warranties: Appliances included with the home generally come with manufacturer warranties. Keep all documentation for these appliances, and register them with the manufacturers if required.
C. Documentation and Record-Keeping:
1. Warranty Documentation: Maintain a file with all warranty documents, including coverage details and contact information for warranty claims.
2. Service Records: Keep records of all service requests and repairs completed by the builder. This documentation is essential for tracking issues and ensuring accountability.
D. Builder Follow-Up:
1. Post-Move-In Inspections: Some builders offer a follow-up inspection after a few months to address any issues that have arisen since moving in. Take advantage of this opportunity to have any new concerns addressed.

By understanding and utilizing the builder’s customer service and warranties, you can ensure that your new home remains in excellent condition and that any issues are promptly and professionally addressed.

Inspection Limitations & ExclusionsTable of contents
50)   -  Thank You:
Thank you for choosing CSI Inspection Services for your home inspection needs. It's essential to provide you with an understanding of the inspection process, including the roles of generalists and specialists, the concept of representative sampling, and the limitations of our inspection.
Generalist vs. Specialist:
- Property inspectors are generalists. Their primary responsibility is to identify material defects within the property as outlined in our inspection guidelines.
- When a problem is discovered in a specific system that affects its performance, we may refer that system to a specialist with expertise in that field.
- Specialists bring in-depth knowledge and experience that may exceed that of a generalist.
Representative Sampling:
- In properties with identical components like windows or electrical outlets, we may only inspect a representative sample.
- We do not move furniture or personal belongings, which may result in some deficiencies going unnoticed.
- We recommend planning for unforeseen repairs, as this is a common aspect of property ownership.
Use of the Report:
- The inspection report is confidential and is provided solely for your benefit.
- It does not constitute a warranty, insurance policy, or guarantee, and should not be relied upon by any third party.
Mold, Mildew, and Fungi:
- Our inspection does not include mold, mildew, or fungi assessment.
- If you have concerns about these issues, we recommend a separate mold inspection during the contingency period.
Wood Destroying Organisms:
- Termites, dry-rot, wood rot, and wood-destroying organisms are not part of our inspection.
- A licensed structural pest control operator's report covers these areas.
Building Codes:
- Our inspection does not assess compliance with building codes.
- You should obtain all available documentation, such as building permits and certificates of occupancy, during the inspection contingency period.
Hazardous Substances:
- Identifying hazardous substances is beyond the scope of our inspection.
- We do not test for items like formaldehyde, lead-based paint, asbestos, or toxic chemicals.
Inspection Limitations:
- Our inspection is limited to what we can directly observe.
- Items not directly visible, such as chimney interiors or underground piping, require specialty inspections.
- We do not determine if components are installed properly, as this requires specialized training and manufacturer/building code expertise.
In Summary:
In summary, our inspection is designed to provide a visual assessment within our expertise as generalists. We have outlined areas where specialist consultations or additional inspections may be necessary. If you have any questions or concerns about the inspection process or the report, please feel free to reach out.

Thank you for entrusting me with your Home Inspection.

Sincerely,
Frank Bua
CSI Inspection Services
