IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ:

1. This report is the exclusive property of this inspection company and the client(s) listed in the report title. Use of this report by any unauthorized persons is prohibited.

2. NOTE: The intent of a visual, non-invasive home inspection is to observe and report on any safety issues or functional deficiencies that may affect the value of the property or safety of the occupants. Although minor repairs, imperfections and routine maintenace items are mentioned in this report, please keep the aforementioned "big picture" in mind. This is stated very nicely by InterNACHI founder Nick Gromick in a memo titled "What Really Matters In A Home Inspection" that can be read by clicking here: http://www.nachi.org/matters/htm or is attached to the printed copy of this report.

3. Please see InterNACHI's Standards Of Practice at http://www.nachi.org/sop for in depth details of the inspection process.

4. This inspection and is not a guarantee of ongoing performance of any system or component or compliance with applicable building codes.

5. Unless otherwise agreed upon in writing, the inspector did not test for the presence of mold, radon, asbestos, lead paint, formaldehyde, VOCs, soil contamination, imported problematic drywall, drinking water quality, or any other environmental hazards or violations. Wall cavities, ductwork and other similar areas not readily visible are beyond the scope of this inspection. These types of areas can harbor microbial growth and can be problematic if moisture is present and should be evaluated further by a specialist in that field. Any comments provided with regards to these areas are offered as a courtesy only. Please go to http://www.epa.gov for info on mold, radon, lead paint, etc.. and to http://cpsc.gov/info/drywall for info on reactive drywall.

6. This is not a code inspection although recent upgrades in safety requirements, i.e. arc fault and ground fault protection, may be addressed in this report.

7. The completetion of a home inspection does not completely eliminate the risk of owning a home - ongoing maintainance and upkeep issues are inevitable.

8. All suggested repairs, etc. should be performed by a licensed and qualified contractor

If repairs are made to a property based on the results of an inspection, the work should be performed by qualified contractors, not the seller. By qualified, we mean licensed, bonded, state certified where applicable and with a reasonable amount of experience. Contractors providing repairs should provide legible documentation in the form of work orders and/or receipts. If repairs are made in this way there's generally no need for a follow -up inspection.
