11)   One or more overcurrent protection devices (circuit breakers or fuses) in panel #A were "double tapped", where 2 or more wires were clamped in a terminal designed for only one wire. This is a safety hazard since the bolt or screw may tighten securely against one wire, but leave others loose. Arcing, sparks and fires may result. A qualified electrician should evaluate and repair as necessary.

12)   One receptacles were damaged. This is a safety hazard due to the risk of shock and fire. A qualified electrician should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary. In master bedroom
 
Plumbing / Fuel Systems Return to table of contents
Limitations: The following items are not included in this inspection: private wells and sewage disposal systems; main, side and lateral sewer lines; gray water systems; pressure boosting systems; incinerating or composting toilets; fire suppression sprinkler systems; water softeners, conditioners or filtering systems; plumbing components concealed within the foundation or building structure, or in inaccessible areas such as below tubs; underground utilities and systems; overflow drains for tubs and sinks; backflow prevention devices. Any comments made regarding these items are as a courtesy only. Note that the inspector does not operate water supply or shut-off valves due to the possibility of valves leaking or breaking when operated. The inspector does not test for lead in the water supply, the water pipes or solder, does not determine if plumbing and fuel lines are adequately sized, and does not determining the existence or condition of underground or above-ground fuel tanks.
Condition of service and main line: Appeared serviceable
Water service: Public
Water pressure (psi): 90 Psi
Service pipe material: Copper
Condition of supply lines: Appeared serviceable
Supply pipe material: Polyethylene
Condition of waste lines: Appeared serviceable
Waste pipe material: Plastic
Condition of fuel system: Appeared serviceable
Location of main fuel shut: Right side of house
13)   One or more sections of gas supply pipes were loose or had substandard support. Standard building practices require that gas supply piping be supported by clamps as follows:

  • Every six feet for two inch pipe
  • Every eight feet for 3/4 inch pipe
  • Every 10 feet for 1 1/4 inch pipe

    A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair as necessary, and as per standard building practices.

    Photo 29  
     

    14)   The gas meter was too close to the soil below, and more likely to corrode as a result. Standard building practices require that the meter be located 10 inches above the soil below. Soil should be graded or modifications made as necessary.

    Photo 7  
     

    15)   The water supply pressure was greater than 80 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. Typically the pressure cannot be regulated at the water meter. Recommend having a qualified plumber evaluate and make modifications to reduce the pressure below 80 psi. Installing a pressure reducing valve on the main service pipe is a common solution to this problem. If one exists, then it should be adjusted for lower pressures.
    16)   Water supply lines were in one or more areas. A qualified plumber should evaluate and repair as necessary. Some of the water lines are not tacked up

    17)   Some water supply pipes in the crawl space were uninsulated. Recommend insulating pipes as per standard building practices for better energy efficiency and to prevent water pipes from freezing.

    Photo 37  
     

    18)   The inspector did not determine the location of the water meter. Recommend that the client attempt to find the water meter by consulting with the property owner, searching for it themselves, or consulting with the local water municipality. It is especially important to find the meter if no main shut-off valve is found because the meter may be the only way to turn off the water supply in the event of an emergency, such as when a supply pipe bursts.
    19)   The inspector did not determine the location of the main water shut-off valve. The client should consult with the property owner to determine if a shut-off valve exists, find it themselves, or hire a qualified plumber if necessary to find it. If no shut-off valve is found for the structure, then recommend having a qualified plumber install one to more easily allow the water supply to be turned off in the event of an emergency, such as when a supply pipe bursts.

    20)   One or more air supply registers had a weak air flow, or no apparent flow, and may result in an inadequate air supply. Recommend asking the property owner about this. Adjustable damper(s) in ducts may exist and be reducing the flow. If dampers exist, then they should be opened to attempt to improve the air flow. If the property owner is unaware of such dampers, or if adjusting dampers does not improve the air flow, then a qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or make modifications as necessary.

While these are legal in some municipalities, the client should be aware that exhaust gases from these appliances are vented directly into the living space where they are located. Exhaust gases may contain very high levels of moisture (up to 25%), which can be be detrimental to a house over time. Additionally, some unpleasant odors may be emitted.

    Interior Rooms / Areas Return to table of contents
    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.
    Exterior door material: Fiberglass or vinyl
    Condition of exterior entry doors: Appeared serviceable
    Condition of interior doors: Appeared serviceable

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.
    32)   The inspector was unable to verify that the glass used in some windows was approved safety glass where required. Window glazing that is not approved safety glass located in areas subject to human impact is a safety hazard. Standard building practices generally require that approved safety glass be used in but not limited to the following conditions:

  • Windows with a pane larger than nine square feet, having a bottom edge closer than 18 inches to the floor and a top edge higher than 36 inches above the floor within 36 inches, horizontally, of a walking surface
  • Windows that are both within a 24 inch arc of a door and within 60 inches of the floor
  • Glazing in walls enclosing stairway landings or within five feet of the bottom and top of stairways where the bottom edge of the glass is less than 60 inches above the floor

    Note that "art glass" (leaded, faceted, carved or decorative) may be an acceptable alternative for safety glass due to its visibility. Also, a 1 1/2 inch wide protective bar on the accessible side of the glass placed 34 to 38 inches above the floor may serve as an acceptable substitute for safety glass.

    A qualified contractor should evaluate and replace glass or make modifications if necessary and as per standard building practices.
    33)   Some interior doors were not closeing. A qualified person should repair or replace as necessary.
