8) Safety, Repair/Replace, Evaluate -  The parking area had cracks and/or deterioration in areas. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace driveway sections as necessary.

9) Repair/Replace -  The perimeter grading sloped towards the structure in areas and was too flat in other areas. This is a common find. This can result in water accumulating around the structure's foundation, or in basements and crawl spaces if they exist. Accumulated water is a conducive condition to wood destroying insects and organisms. Wet soil may also cause the foundation to settle and possibly fail over time. Recommend grading soil so it slopes down and away from the structure. The grade should drop at least 6 inches within the first 10 feet. Correct any negative slope of brick/concrete areas as well to direct water away from structure. https://homeinspectionsinohio.com/negative-grading/

Where the site does not allow for the necessary fall away from the structure, drains or swales could be used.

18) Safety, Repair/Replace, Evaluate -  Loose conductors were found in the sub service panel had bare ends and were not connected to circuit breakers or fuses. This is a safety hazard due to the risk of fire if the bare conductors come into contact with other components in the panel. An electrician should evaluate and repair as necessary. For example, removing wires that aren't terminated or installing wire nuts.

19) Safety, Repair/Replace, Evaluate -  Extension cords were being used as permanent wiring in one area. They should only be used for portable equipment on a temporary basis. Using extension cords as permanent wiring poses a fire and shock hazard, and is an indication that wiring is inadequate and should be updated, for example, install additional circuits and/or electric receptacles.

23) Repair/Replace, Evaluate -  The cooling fins on air handler's evaporator coils are bent, damaged and/or deteriorated. This may result in reduced efficiency and higher energy costs. A qualified heating and cooling contractor should evaluate and repair as necessary.

24) Repair/Replace -  The motor/fan for venting out the furnace exhaust was noisy. Recommend evaluation and repairs as needed to help ensure proper venting and continued operation.

36) Repair/Replace, Evaluate -  Pin holes and/or corrosion were visible on one area(s) of copper water supply pipes. Leaks may result because of this. Recommend evaluate and replace water supply components as necessary.

Was not actively leaking at time of inspection.

51) 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.

52) Repair/Replace, Evaluate -  Flashings at parapet walls were deteriorated and/or substandard. These may result in leaks. A qualified roofing contractor should evaluate and repair as necessary.
