The following items are excluded from this inspection: Security system, Shed
Limitations: This report only includes findings from accessible and visible areas on the day of the inspection. In addition to any inaccessible areas documented in this report, examples of other inaccessible areas include: inside walls and behind cabinets; attic areas less than 5 feet in height; areas blocked by ducts, pipes or insulation; areas where insulation would be damaged if traversed and areas obscured by vegetation. All inaccessible areas are subject to infestation or damage from pests, vermin, wood-destroying insects, microbial growth or other organisms. The inspector does not move furnishings, stored items, debris, floor or wall coverings, insulation, or other materials as part of the inspection, nor perform destructive testing. No warranty is provided as part of this inspection. Clients are advised that additional inspections and testing are available and advisable including but not limited to: mold inspections or screenings; chemical residue; radon gas and sewer scope inspections; etc.
1) A leak was found in a gas supply line. This is a safety hazard. A qualified contractor should evaluate and make repairs as soon as possible.

2) This property has fuel burning appliances, and no properly installed carbon monoxide alarms are visible. Carbon monoxide is a heavy gas and detectors should be mounted near floor level on each level of the home. This is a safety hazard. Although carbon monoxide alarms may not have been a requirement when this home was constructed, recommend installing one or more carbon monoxide alarms as necessary and as per the manufacturer's instructions.
3) A radon test is being performed on this property using a continuous monitor. The monitor was placed in the lowest living area and will be collected after a minimum 52 hour test period. The results will be emailed separately once the results become available. The EPA recommends remediation for levels of 4.0 PCL and higher.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is colorless and odorless. It is a health hazard, as long-term exposure can cause lung cancer. Radon is found in soil and can enter homes through cracks and openings in foundations, potentially accumulating to dangerous levels. Testing is the only way to know if radon is present in a home or building, as it is undetectable by smell or sight.
While the EPA's action level is 4.0 pCi/L, the CDC recommends considering radon reduction even for levels above 2 pCi/L, especially if the lowest floor is occupied or frequently used.

Any comments made regarding these items are as a courtesy only. Note that the inspector does not provide an estimate of remaining life on heating or cooling system components, does not determine if heating or cooling systems are appropriately sized, does not test coolant pressure, or perform any evaluations that require a pilot light to be lit, a shut-off valve to be operated, a circuit breaker to be turned "on" or a serviceman's or oil emergency switch to be operated. It is beyond the scope of this inspection to determine if furnace heat exchangers are intact and free of leaks. Condensation pans and drain lines may clog or leak at any time and should be monitored while in operation in the future. Where buildings contain furnishings or stored items, the inspector may not be able to verify that a heat source is present in all "liveable" rooms (e.g. bedrooms, kitchens and living/dining rooms).

38) The radiant floor heating system in the primary bathroom was operational, as evidenced with an infrared photo.
Photo 38-1 Infrared photo indicating that the under-tile radiant floor heating system is operational
39) The glass on a gas fireplace has a hazy film. This is typically a mineral residue left from water vapor as the gas burns. It may be possible to clean this fogging by removing the glass from the fireplace and using a gas appliance ceramic glass cleaner, available through gas fireplace and stove distributors and installers. Ammonia-based products, such as common glass cleaners should not be used since they may cause damage or etching to the glass, or make the haze permanent. It may be possible for a homeowner to remove the glass for cleaning, depending on if the instructions or manual for the fireplace are available, and if the homeowner is experienced in such repairs. Recommend consulting with a gas fireplace installation contractor for more information, or to have them do the cleaning.
