Exterior
6)  Areas of missing/incomplete stucco finish were found in one or more areas of the exterior.
In damp climates, moisture may enter cracks or damaged areas and further deteriorate the stucco. Also, the wall behind the stucco may become damaged from moisture.
Note: that areas behind the stucco are inaccessible and excluded from this inspection. Recommend that a qualified contractor repair or replace stucco as necessary.
Roof
12)  A plumbing vent flashing has no pipe installed or has had the pipe removed and is open into attic.
This condition will allow water intrusion into attic and possible water damage. A qualified contractor should make repairs as necessary.

Note: This vent cover which had no apparent fan installed in the primary bathroom shower was directly below this vent flashing.
To prevent any moisture intrusion or heat loss it needs to be evaluated by a qualified contactor.
Electric service
27)  This sub panel cover is missing or not installed.
Exposed, energized wiring and equipment exists as a result and is a safety hazard due to the risk of shock.
This condition should be corrected immediately by a qualified electrical contractor to ensure a safe environment exists.
28)  There is a whole house surge protector installed at main panel that has been recalled and may pose a fire hazard.
The recalled models are identified as Type 2’s, SUPCO Model SCM150 and Sycom Model SYC‑120/240-T2.
The devices, manufactured by Sycom Surge, Inc., were sold between 2010 and 2014. They had a three-year warranty, which has since expired.
UL, a global safety consulting and certification company, deemed the surge protectors to be a fire hazard in 2016.
If you have questions or concerns, call Sycom at 800-622-9904. A qualified electrician should evaluate the surge protector and replace if necessary.
29)  In this sub panel, two conductors were installed in a circuit breaker lug designed for only one. This condition is improper.
Recommend correction by a qualified electrical contractor.
30)  One or more wires in this distribution panel appear to be undersized for their overcurrent protection devices.
This is a safety hazard due to the risk of fire. A qualified electrician should evaluate and repair as necessary.

Heating and Cooling
39)  The HVAC system appeared to be functioning as designed at the time of the inspection. This system appeared to be installed in 2018.
The last service date of the forced air gas furnace appeared to be within the last 2 years based on information provided to the inspector or labeling on the equipment.
However, the air handler's fan is noisy or is vibrating excessively. The clients should consider having a qualified heating and cooling contractor to evaluate and repair as necessary.

Prevent CO-Poisonings
Plumbing and laundry
44)  Gas flow to an unused outlet for a gas-fired appliance was turned off at the valve but was not capped.
Generally accepted modern safety standards mandate that unused outlets be capped.
The Inspector recommends correction by a qualified plumbing contractor to prevent gas leaks if the shut off valve is accidentally opened.
Fireplaces
48)  Direct vent caps for combustion appliances (fireplaces) were missing. Combustion appliance vents are required to have a UL listed cap. This a safety hazard.
They prevent wildlife (e.g., birds, rodents, raccoons) from entering flues. The Inspector recommends that a qualified HVAC contractor install a listed cap.
Kitchen
50)  This drain line from the kitchen sink does not appear to have been installed to standard building practices and may not have been done by a licensed plumber.
Recommend having a plumbing contractor review the drain construction and make corrections if necessary.

Bathrooms
56)  This bathroom electric receptacles appear to have no ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection.
They have been required at all bathroom receptacles since 1975. This is a safety hazard due to the risk of shock.
This can be achieved relatively inexpensively by replacing an individual standard receptacle with a GFCI receptacle.
A qualified electrician should install GFCI receptacles or circuit breaker(s) as needed.

What's a GFCI
57)  The large soaking tub was not secured to the floor. This condition can put excess strain on the drain fittings and can cause the drain to leak.

The tub in the primary bathroom was slow to drain. This is typically due to a clogged trap but may also indicate a blockage of the waste pipe.
Also, the overflow drain cover is installed incorrectly (upside down) flooding may occur. Stopper mechanism needed adjustment or repair.
Inspector recommends correction by a qualified plumbing contractor
Interior rooms
62)  One or more entry door(s) has deadbolts installed with no handle and require a key to open them from both sides.
This can be a safety hazard in the event of a fire when the key is not available. The door cannot be used as an exit then, causing entrapment.
Key-only deadbolts should be replaced with deadbolts that have a handle on the inside on entry doors.
65)  Smoke detector placement appeared to be adequate. Smoke detectors are not tested as part of a general home inspection.
The Inspector recommends that all detectors be checked and tested to confirm that working properly and are not older than 10 years as per their date code.
