1) Recalls on consumer products and product safety alerts are almost added daily, if client is concerned about appliances or other items installed in the home that may be on such lists, please go to the following web site for more info. www.recalls.gov or http://www.cpsc.gov/

In addition to information on the most recent recalls, there are links to the Web sites of all six contributing agencies where earlier recalls are listed, among with safety tips and helpful information.

2) INSECT INFESTATION

Evidence associated with wood-destroying pests and organisms was observed at the (crawl space).
NOTE: Only a Branch III, Structural Pest Control Operator or Field Representative can legally identify wood-destroying pests and organisms.
Please refer to the wood-destroying pest and organism report for further information.
(If an inspection report is not available or has not been performed, we recommend the advice and services of a qualified California State Licensed Branch III, Structural Pest Control Company to perform a full inspection and report issuance on the subject property.)
eating the scraps of wood and cardboard.

3) One or more ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) electric receptacles did not trip when tested at spa. This is a safety hazard due to the risk of shock. A qualified electrician should evaluate and repair as necessary.

4) Cover plate(s) are missing from one or more electric boxes, such as for receptacles, switches and/or junction boxes. 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.

5) One or more outside faucets are missing/defective backflow prevention devices. These devices reduce the likelihood of polluted or contaminated water entering the potable water supply. This condition can occur when an outside faucet is left in the "on" position with a hose connected and the sprayer head turned off. When pressure in the system fluctuates, water can be drawn back into the water supply pipes from the house. If a chemical sprayer is being used with the hose, those chemicals can enter the water supply pipes.

Recommend installing backflow prevention devices on all exterior hose bibs where missing. They are available at most home improvement stores and are easily installed. For more information, visit: http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/BODY_AE079

6) One or more driveway or yard drains appear to be inadequate and may not keep water away from the structure or prevent water from ponding. A qualified contractor should evaluate and make repairs as necessary, such as replacing and/or installing additional drains.

7) One or more gutters are poorly sloped so that significant amounts of water accumulate in them rather than draining through the downspouts. This can cause gutters to overflow, especially when organic debris such as leaves or needles have accumulated in them. A qualified contractor should evaluate and make repairs as necessary, such as correcting the slope in gutters or installing additional downspouts and extensions if necessary.

8) One or more areas of the grounds around the structure have significantly soggy soil, standing water or indications of accumulated water at times (sediment, dead grass, etc.). Recommend consulting with a qualified contractor who specializes in drainage, to determine if or what repairs are needed to provide adequate drainage. Possible repairs may involve grading soil, or installing, repairing and/or replacing underground drains.

9) One or more downspouts are missing. This can result in water accumulating around the structure's foundation, or in basements and crawl spaces if they exist. 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. A qualified contractor should install downspout(s) where missing. Also recommend installing extensions such as splashblocks or tie-ins to underground drain lines as necessary to carry rainwater away from the house.

10) One or more crawl space/garage vent screens are lacking or blocked by soil, debris, insulation, stored items or removable panels. This restricts ventilation in the crawl space and may result in increased levels of moisture inside. Materials or items blocking vents should be removed.
Also add a screen at stairs

11) Siding/trim is incomplete or missing in one or more areas. A qualified contractor should install siding where missing to prevent water and vermin intrusion.

12) wood rot noted at the rear of the electric main panel, Recommend to repair as needed.

13) One or more downspouts have no extensions or have extensions that are ineffective. This can result in water accumulating around the structure's foundation, or in basements and crawl spaces if they exist. 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 rainwater is carried at least several feet away from the structure to soil that slopes down and away from the structure.

14) Recommend cleaning deck(s) and treating with a sealent claiming to waterproof, block ultraviolet light, and stop mildew.

Add grout also.

15) One or more ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) breakers in the sub-main service panel for the steam gen. is not installed, Recommend a upgrade. This is a safety hazard due to the risk of shock. A qualified electrician should evaluate and make repairs and/or replace circuit breakers as necessary.

16) Neutral and equipment ground conductors are combined at one or more sub-panels. This should only occur in the main service panel, and is a safety hazard due to the risk of shock. Neutral conductors should be attached to a "floating" neutral bar not bonded to the panel, while grounding conductors should be attached to a separate grounding bar bonded to the sub panel. A qualified electrician should evaluate and repair as necessary.

17) Floor electric box is missing caps, Recommend to replace as needed.

18) Loose wire at garage, recommend to add a camera or remove as needed.

19)

20)  not tested

21) One or more roofing tiles are defective, chipped and/or cracked. A qualified roofing contractor should evaluate and replace tiles as necessary.

22) One or more roofing tiles have slipped, and are loose. A qualified roofing contractor should evaluate and repair as necessary.

23) All the ridge caps tiles will need to have the holes sealed to prevent any moisture from entering, Recommend to repair as needed.

25) Our roof inspection is to report on the type and condition of roofing
materials, missing and/or damaged material, and attachments (excluding antennas, solar systems, etc.) where visible. This does not constitute a warranty, guarantee, roof certification or life expectancy evaluation of any kind.

Roofs are not water tested for leaks. The condition of the roofing underlayment material is not verified/inspected. For further evaluation and a roofing certification we recommend you consult a qualified licensed roofing contractor, a number of lenders may require a roofing certification.

Building's that have tile or wood shingle/shake materials and are going to be tented for termites should be reinspected for possible damage caused by the extermination process before the close of escrow.

26) One or more wall and/or ceiling surfaces between the attached garage and interior living spaces have gaps, holes, or missing or inadequate surface materials. 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 so the attached garage wall and ceiling surfaces that adjoin living spaces are tightly sealed and fire rated as per standard building practices. Typically these surfaces require a one-hour fire rating.

27) Any and all automatic garage doors sold in California after July 1, 2019, must, by operation of law, include a backup battery system that can adequately provide power to operate the overhead garage doors in the event of a power outage.

Old garage door openers are NOT allowed to be utilized with a new garage door installation.

The imposition of a civil penalty of $1,000 for offending garage door openers or installers.

Bill Highlights Do Not Include:
The new law does not require existing openers to be backed up with batteries, but it is recommended that all homeowners consider upgrading for the increased safety features. When an opener is replaced it must be a battery backed-up system.

28) At the wood-shop door, The trim at the bottom is water stained, Recommend to repair as needed.

29) The overhead filter screen is designed to collect grease, and will need cleaning in the dishwasher to remove the grease, if left uncleaned the filter will become clogged and pose a fire hazard and not remove the air at the stove

30) Water stains and/or minor water damage was found in the shelving or cabinet components below the sink. The client(s) should evaluate and consider having repairs made.

31) APPLIANCE STATEMENT

"Our "test" is not an evaluation of performance but is only to verify that they "work." It is possible that timers may be defective, garbage disposers may be ineffective, thermostats may be out of calibration, and the appliance can still "pass" our abbreviated test. Appliances can fail at any time without warning. There are insurance policies available to you that may provide some protection. Your agent can supply information on this subject

32)  serviceable.

33) Gas line to the water heater is under-sized, Recommend a 1" line for max. BTU output.

34) The last service date of this system appears to be more than two years ago, or the inspector was unable to determine the last service date. The client(s) should ask the property owner(s) when it was last serviced. If unable to determine the last service date, or if this system was serviced more than two years ago, a qualified heating and cooling contractor should inspect, clean, and service this system, and make repairs if necessary. This servicing should be performed every few years in the future, or as per the contractor's recommendations.

35) The ambient air test was performed by using thermometers on the air handler of the air conditioner to determine if the difference in temperatures of the supply and return air are at least 20 degrees which indicates that the unit is cooling as intended. The supply air temperature on your system read 52 degrees, and the return air temperature was 74 degrees. This indicates the range in temperature drop is normal.

54)  Limitations: The following items are not included in this inspection: security, intercom and sound systems; communications wiring; central vacuum systems; elevators and stair lifts; sources of obnoxious odors; cosmetic deficiencies due to normal wear and tear in wall, floor and ceiling surfaces and coverings, or in equipment; deficiencies relating to interior decorating; low voltage and gas lighting systems. Any comments made regarding these items are as a courtesy only. Note that the inspector does not evaluate any areas or items which require moving stored items, furnishings, debris, equipment, floor coverings, insulation or similar materials. The inspector does not test for asbestos, lead, radon, mold, hazardous waste, urea formaldehyde urethane, or any other toxic substance. Some items such as window operability are tested on a sampled basis. The client should be aware that paint may obscure wall and ceiling defects, floor coverings may obscure floor defects, and furnishings may obscure wall, floor and floor covering defects. If furnishings were present during the inspection, recommend a full evaluation of walls, floors and ceilings that were previously obscured when possible. Determining the cause of odors is not within the scope of this inspection.

55) Combustibles such as wood or insulation are in contact with or less than one inch from chimney or gas flue pipes in one or more areas. This is a fire hazard. A qualified contractor should evaluate and make repairs or modifications as necessary so minimum clearances to combustibles are maintained around all chimney and flue pipes as per the manufacturer's specifications. not shure if this applies to the tankless heater in attic but have Jeff see if its ok.

56) Stains were visible on the roof structure or insulation in one or more areas. These areas were dry at the time of the inspection. The stains may be caused by a past leak. Recommend asking the property owner(s) about past leaks. The client(s) should monitor these areas in the future, especially after heavy rains, to determine if active leaks exist. If leaks are found, a qualified roofing contractor should evaluate and repair as necessary.

57) Some wiring is loose, unsupported, or inadequately supported. Standard building practices require non-metallic sheathed wiring to be trimmed to length, attached to runners or to solid backing with fasteners at intervals of 4-1/2 ft. or less. Fasteners should be installed within 12 inches of all enclosures. A qualified, licensed electrician should evaluate and repair as necessary. For example, trim wire to length and/or install staples as needed.

58) Evidence of prior water intrusion was found in one or more sections of the crawl space. For example, sediment stains on the vapor barrier or foundation, and/or efflorescence on the foundation. Accumulated water is a conducive condition for wood destroying insects and organisms and should not be present in the crawl space. The client(s) should review any disclosure statements available and ask the property owner(s) about past accumulation of water in the crawl space. The crawl space should be monitored in the future for accumulated water, especially after heavy and/or prolonged periods of rain. If water is found to accumulate, a qualified contractor who specializes in drainage issues should evaluate and repair as necessary. Typical repairs for preventing water from accumulating in crawl spaces include:

• Repairing, installing or improving rain run-off systems (gutters, downspouts and extensions or drain lines)
• Improving perimeter grading
• Repairing, installing or improving underground footing and/or curtain drains

Ideally, water should not enter crawl spaces, but if water must be controlled after it enters the crawl space, then typical repairs include installing trenches, gravity drains and/or sump pump(s) in the crawl space.

59) The crawl space ventilation is substandard, at deck area. This may result in high levels of moisture in the crawl space and can be a conducive condition for wood destroying insects and organisms. Standard building practices require one square foot of vent area for 150 to 200 square feet of crawl space. Vents should be evenly distributed and within a few feet of corners to promote air circulation. A qualified contractor should evaluate and install vents as per standard building practices.

60) The sheer wall at the rear is beginning to rot due to leaks at the deck area, Recommend to repair as needed.

61) Cellulose-based debris such as wood scraps, form wood, cardboard and/or paper were found in crawl space. All cellulose-based debris should be removed to avoid attracting wood destroying insects.

62) One or more gates used with pool or spa fencing swung in towards the pool or spa rather than away. Standard building practices require that gates used with pool or spa fencing swing away from the pool or spa. A qualified person should evaluate and repair as necessary, and as per standard building practices. For more information, visit:
