1) Repair/Maintain - One or more roof flashings were lifting. Leaks can occur as a result. This is a conducive condition for wood-destroying organisms. Recommend that a qualified person repair as necessary.

3) Repair/Replace - Sections of siding and/or trim were damaged and/or rotten. Recommend that a qualified person repair, replace or install siding or trim as necessary.

4) Repair/Replace - Fungal rot was found at one or more sections of siding or trim and/or window frames. Conducive conditions for rot should be corrected (e.g. wood-soil contact, reverse perimeter slope). Recommend that a qualified contractor repair as necessary. All rotten wood should be replaced.

6) Repair/Replace - One or more exhaust fan ducts terminated at a soffit vent rather than at a dedicated hood or cap. Soffit vents are designed to allow cool air to be drawn into the attic, and to prevent excess moisture from accumulating in the attic. When such ducts are routed to terminate at soffit vents, the moist exhaust air may flow back into the attic and the soffit venting will be reduced. Recommend that a qualified contractor repair per standard building practices. For example, by installing approved hoods or caps at the roof surface or exterior wall(s), and permanently securing exhaust ducts to them.

7) Repair/Maintain - The ceiling insulation in one or more areas of the attic was missing. Heating and cooling costs may be higher due to reduced energy efficiency. Recommend that a qualified person repair, replace or install insulation as necessary and per standard building practices (typically R-38).

8) Repair/Maintain - Attic insulation at one or more attic walls was missing and/or Damage. Heating and cooling costs will likely be higher due to reduced energy efficiency. Recommend that a qualified person repair, replace or install insulation as necessary and per standard building practices.

9) Safety - The hot water temperature was greater than 120 degrees Fahrenheit. This is a safety hazard due to the risk of scalding. The thermostat should be adjusted so the water temperature doesn't exceed 120 degrees. If the water heater is powered by electricity, a qualified person should perform the adjustment, since covers that expose energized equipment normally need to be removed.

10) Repair/Replace, Evaluate - Condensation or staining was visible between multi-pane glass in many windows. This usually indicates that the seal between the panes of glass has failed or that the desiccant material that absorbs moisture is saturated. As a result, the view through the window may be obscured, the window's U-value will be reduced, and accumulated condensation may leak into the wall structure below. Recommend that a qualified contractor evaluate and repair windows as necessary. Usually, this means replacing the glass in window frames.

Be aware that evidence of failed seals or desiccant may be more or less visible depending on the temperature, humidity, sunlight, etc. Windows or glass-paneled doors other than those that the inspector identified may also have failed seals and need glass replaced. It is beyond the scope of this inspection to identify every window with failed seals or desiccant.

11) Repair/Replace - One or more ceilings had substandard repairs. Recommend that a qualified person repair as necessary.

12) Safety, Maintain, Evaluate - Recommend that the client review all available documentation for gas-fired fireplaces and stoves. Depending on how they are operated (for routine heating versus ambiance), such appliances may need servicing annually or every few years. Consult with the property owner and/or a qualified specialist to determine if service is needed now. Any needed repairs noted in this report should be brought to the attention of the specialist when it's serviced. For more information visit:

14) Repair/Maintain - The bathtub at location(s) #C drained slowly. Recommend clearing drain and/or having a qualified plumber repair if necessary.

17) Safety, Repair/Replace - Extension cords were being used as permanent wiring at one or more locations. They should only be used for portable equipment on a temporary basis. Using extension cords as permanent wiring is a potential fire and shock hazard, and indicates that wiring is inadequate and needs updating. Extension cords may be undersized. Connections may not be secure resulting in power fluctuations, damage to equipment, overheating and sparks that could start a fire. Recommend that a qualified electrician repair per standard building practices and eliminate extension cords for permanently installed equipment.

18) Repair/Replace, Evaluate - One or more electric receptacles appeared to have no power. Recommend asking the property owner about this. Switches may need to be operated or GFCI/AFCI protection may need to be reset to make some receptacles energized. If necessary, recommend that a qualified electrician evaluate and repair.
