For example, cutting the wire to length and terminating the wire with wire nuts in a securely anchored, covered, properly sized junction box.

22) Safety, Repair/Replace, Evaluate -  Wire splices were exposed due to not being contained in a covered junction box or in a box that had no cover.

51) Repair/Replace, Evaluate -  The masonry chimney crown was cracked/had gaps and should be evaluated and repaired. The crown is meant to keep water off of the chimney structure. The chimney can be damaged by wet masonry going through freeze-thaw cycles. A properly constructed chimney crown should:

• Be constructed using either pre-cast concrete slabs, cast-in-place steel reinforced concrete, solid stone, or metal
• Be sloped down from the flue
• Overhang the edges by 2 inches
• Not directly contact the flue liner (if installed), and this gap should be filled with flexible caulk

52) Repair/Replace, Evaluate, Monitor -  Evidence of prior water intrusion was found in at least one section of the basement. For example, water stains and/or efflorescence on the foundation or floor, water stains at bases of support posts, etc. Accumulated water is a conducive condition for wood destroying insects and organisms and should not be present in the basement. The client(s) should review any disclosure statements available and ask the property owner(s) about past accumulation of water in the basement. The inspector is unable to determine how much water may enter in the future. The basement 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 the basement 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 the basement, but if water must be controlled after it enters the basement, then typical repairs include installing sump pump(s) or interior perimeter drains.

55) Repair/Replace, Evaluate -  Standing water was found on the flat roof. It should evaporate within 48 hours after it rains. If standing water remains after 48 hours, then the roof installation is likely substandard. A qualified roofing contractor should evaluate and repair if necessary to prevent prolonged standing water.

66) Repair/Replace, Maintain, Evaluate -  Fire alarm and/or burglar alarm systems appear operational, however appeared to be an older system and maybe out of date.
Recommend evaluation and replacement as needed.
