| Exterior | Return to table of contents |
Vegetation such as trees, shrubs and/or vines are in contact with or less than one foot from the structure's exterior. Vegetation can serve as a conduit for wood destroying insects and may retain moisture against the exterior after it rains. Vegetation should be pruned and/or removed as necessary to maintain a one foot clearance between it and the structure's exterior. There is a large hole in the siding where the water line exits the rear of the home. this should be sealed to prevent insects and rodents from entering the home. Two plants have roots growing into the siding on the rear of the home. these roots should be removed to prevent the siding from splitting or being loosened.
Small isolated areas of wood rot was observed on the siding. I recommend having the rotted areas replaced and the exterior of the home repainted.

| Roof | Return to table of contents |
Roofing nails in one or more areas have loosened or backed out. Leaks may occur as a result. A qualified roofing contractor should evaluate the entire roof and make repairs as necessary, such as reseating nails and applying sealant.

The overhead garage door does not have the auto reverse installed properly. As a result the door will continue to close even if something is in its path.

The attic of this home is very large. Insulation is on average 6 inches deep. The ridge vent and soffit vents were found to be unobstructed.

All outlets were checked and found to be in working order. Some of the outlets in the home are missing covers. These outlets should have the covers replaced. No open grounds or reverse polarity was found.

This is a new water heater and should have many years of useful life.
| Heating and cooling | Return to table of contents |
The AC and Furnace of this home appear to have been replaced. The AC was run and a differential of 15 degrees was found. These units should have many years of service left. However, regular maintenance should be preformed to maximize their life.

Neither the clothes washer nor dryer were operated or evaluated. They are excluded from this inspection.
All sinks tubs and toilets were tested and found to be free of leaks. Water pressure throughout the home was good and drainage was adequate.

One or more kitchen appliances appear to be near, at, or beyond their intended service life of 10 to 15 years. Recommend budgeting for replacements as necessary.
| Bathrooms | Return to table of contents |
The light in the hall bath needs new bulbs. All tubs, showers, sinks and toilets were operating at the time of the inspection. No leaks were found under the bathroom vanities.
| Interior rooms | Return to table of contents |
The interior of the home is in very good condition for a home of this age. Only minor cosmetic damage was observed. some light bulbs in the home are burned out. Some of the light fixtures are missing globes. These bulbs and globes should be replaced.
