1) The left patio downspouts has no extensions, or have extensions that are ineffective. This can result in water accumulating around the structure's foundation, Accumulated water is a conducive condition to wood destroying insects and organisms, and may also cause the foundation to settle and possibly fail over time. Repairs should be made as necessary, such as installing or repositioning splash blocks, or installing and/or repairing tie-ins to underground drain lines, so rain water is carried at least several feet away from the structure to soil that slopes down and away from the structure.

2) Several rafters over the back patio have water damage from the old newly covered roof. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace sections as necessary.

3) Fences and/or gates are damaged and/or deteriorated in some areas. A qualified contractor should evaluate and make repairs or replace sections as necessary.

4) Soffit and boards are damaged or deteriorated back right corner, corner of the second right patio cover and right of the chimney, A qualified contractor should evaluate and make repairs as necessary.

5) Several ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) electric receptacles did not trip when tested. Noted back porch, left of garage and by garage entrance door. This is a safety hazard due to the risk of shock. A qualified electrician should evaluate and repair as necessary.

6) Water supply pipes are routed outside and are subject to freezing. Noted by master bath. Insulation should cover all water supply lines outside to prevent freezing and bursting of the pipes.

7) One or more minor defects was found in the foundation. Noted left of the garage. These don't appear to be a structural concern, but recommend sealing them to prevent water infiltration and monitoring them in the future. Numerous products exist to seal such cracks including:

• Hydraulic cement. Requires chiseling a channel in the crack to apply. See http://www.quickrete.com/catalog/HydraulicWater-StopCement.html for an example.
• Resilient caulks (easy to apply). See http://www.quickrete.com/catalog/GrayConcreteRepair.html for an example.
• Epoxy sealants (both a waterproof and structural repair). See http://www.mountaingrout.com/ for examples of these products.

8) Minor cracks were found in one or more sections of brick veneer. Noted right of garage, back right corner by vinyl, on the chimney and under garage window. A qualified contractor should evaluate and make repairs as necessary, such as repointing mortar to prevent water intrusion and further deterioration in the future. Numerous products exist to seal such cracks including:

• Resilient caulks (easy to apply). See http://www.quickrete.com/catalog/GrayConcreteRepair.html for an example.
• Epoxy sealants (both a waterproof and structural repair). See http://www.mountaingrout.com/ for examples of these products.

9) Caulk is missing or deteriorated in some areas and should be replaced and/or applied where necessary. This is typical for a home of it's age. Noted fireplace chimney flashing.

15) Several sections of roof flashing are rusted. Leaks may occur over time as a result if unattended. A qualified roofing contractor should evaluate and replace flashing where necessary.

16) Gaps were found in several roof surface seams. These may result in leaks. A qualified roofing contractor should evaluate and repair as necessary.

19) The wall under the electric service panel in incomplete. 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 evaluate and make repairs as necessary.

23) One or more bathroom or exhaust fans have no duct and terminate in the attic. This is a conducive condition for mold on insulaion and wood destroying insects and organisms due to increased moisture levels in the attic from the exhaust air. Better building practices call for installing ducts and vent caps as necessary so exhaust air is vented outside or at minimum to the soffit vents. A qualified contractor should evaluate and make repairs as necessary

24) Cover plate(s) are missing from one or more electric boxes, such as for receptacles, switches and/or junction boxes. Noted by the Airhandlers. They are intended to contain fire and prevent electric shock from exposed wires. This is a safety hazard due to the risk of fire and shock. Cover plates should be installed where missing.

25) Water supply pipes are uninsulated. Recommend insulating pipes as necessary for better energy efficiency and to prevent water pipes from freezing.

26) There are pointed screws used to fasten the cover to the main service panel. These types of screws are more likely to come into contact with wiring inside the panel than stock screws from the manufacturer, and can damage wiring insulation. This is a safety hazard due to the risk of shock and/or fire. Long and/or pointed crews should be replaced as necessary with the correct screws, and if necessary by a qualified electrician.

29) A qualified heating and cooling contractor should inspect the system, clean the interior and exterior fins and drain lines, and service this system, and make repairs if necessary. This servicing should be performed annually in the future.

32) The vacuum system does not function

35) The chimney flue opening did not have a screen installed. Screens prevent the following:

• Fire hazard from wood fire sparks and embers exiting flues
• Wildlife (birds, rodents, raccoons, etc.) entering flues

A qualified chimney service contractor should install screening where missing. Screens should have holes 1/4 inch or larger.

36) All solid fuel burning appliances (woodstoves and fireplaces, etc.) should be inspected annually by a qualified chimney service contractor, cleaned and repaired as necessary.

49) The master toilet was loose. A qualified contractor should remove the toilet(s) for further evaluation and repairs if necessary. A new wax ring should be installed and toilet(s) should be securely anchored to the floor to prevent movement and leaking.

50) Tile and/or grout in utility shower is damaged and/or deteriorated. For example, deteriorated or missing grout, cracked, missing or loose tiles, etc. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair tile and/or grout as necessary.

51) The upstairs tub relief drain is leaking and should be replaced. A qualified plumber should evaluate and repair as necessary.

52) The utility sink drains has an active leak and or corrosion on the plumbing. At the stopper valve. A qualified plumber should evaluate and repair as necessary.

61) An insufficient number of smoke alarms are installed. Additional smoke alarms should be installed as necessary so a functioning one exists in each hallway leading to bedrooms, and in each bedroom. For more information, visit http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/pubs/5077.html

62) Two open ground, three-pronged grounding type receptacles were found. Noted in the master left wall backing the living room. This is a safety hazard due to the risk of shock. A qualified electrician should evaluate and make repairs as necessary.

63) Although operational, all electric receptacles that serve countertop surfaces within six feet of a sink appear to have no ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection. This is a safety hazard due to the risk of shock. A qualified electrician should evaluate to determine if GFCI protection exists, and if not, repairs should be made so that all receptacles that serve countertop surfaces within six feet of sinks have GFCI protection. For example, install GFCI receptacles or circuit breaker(s) as needed.

64) Though still functional, the insulation seal between double-pane glass in upstairs roof escape window appear to have failed based on condensation or stains between the panes of glass. A qualified contractor should evaluate and replace glass where necessary.
