8) Safety, Repair/Replace, Evaluate -  Flashing is missing from above deck ledger boards. This can cause moisture to accumulate between the ledger board(s) and the structure. Rot may result in this area and cause the ledger board fasteners to fail. The deck may separate from the structure in this event and poses a significant safety hazard. A qualified contractor should install flashing above ledger board(s) where necessary.

Ledger board is installed directly over siding. This is not recommended so as to help ensure proper attachment. Recommend evaluation and repair.

Inspector is unable to determine condition of underlying material.

9) Repair/Replace -  The perimeter grading sloped towards the structure in 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, paved and /or bricked area, so it slopes down and away from the structure on all areas. 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.

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

30) 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.

31) Repair/Replace -  Drywall dust, and construction debris such as sawdust usually accumulates in heating/cooling ducts during new construction and flips of properties. The drywall dust in particular can reduce the life of the furnace or air handler if left to circulate. Recommend having a qualified contractor clean the ducts.

39) Repair/Replace, Evaluate -  One exhaust fan did not respond to controls or provided inadequate air flow. Moisture may accumulate as a result. Recommend asking present owner if other switches need to be turned of for operation. If not then recommend repair or replacement.

40) Repair/Replace, Evaluate -  Odor of sewer gas in the master bathroom was noted. Recommend cleaning drain pipes. If odor persists then recommend evaluation and corrections made as needed by a plumber.

41) Repair/Replace -  A water heater is installed over or next to finished living spaces and has no catch pan and drain installed. Recommend having a qualified contractor install a catch pan and drain to prevent water damage to finished interior spaces below if/when the water heater develops a leak or is drained.

55) Safety, Repair/Replace -  Handrails at the stairs were loose. Recommend making repairs as necessary. For example, installing new fasteners and/or hardware so handrails are securely attached.

62) Safety, Repair/Replace, Evaluate -  Wall and/or ceiling surfaces between the attached garage and interior living spaces had gaps, holes, or missing or inadequate surface materials. These surfaces are intended to prevent vehicle fumes from entering living spaces, and to slow the spread of fire from the garage to living spaces and spaces above those areas. Recommend evaluation and repairs as necessary so the attached garage wall and ceiling surfaces that adjoin living spaces are tightly sealed and fire rated as per standard building practices. Typically these surfaces require a one-hour fire rating.
