Exterior and Foundation
6) One or more planters were attached to the building exterior. This can result in high levels of moisture at the building exterior near planters. It is a conducive condition for wood-destroying organisms. Recommend removing planters, or repairing so there is a gap of at least 2 inches between planters and the building exterior for better airflow and to allow building exteriors to dry quickly.

16) Non-metallic sheathed wiring was installed at one or more locations, and was subject to damage such as on easily accessible wall or ceiling surfaces. The insulation can be damaged by objects coming in contact with it, resulting in exposed, energized wires. Also, copper conductors can break after being repeatedly moved or bent. This is a potential shock or fire hazard. Recommend that a qualified electrician repair per standard building practices. For example, by installing protective conduit or re-routing wires through walls or ceilings.

Water Heater
20) Significant corrosion or rust was found at the . This can indicate past leaks, or that leaks are likely to occur in the future. Recommend that a qualified plumber evaluate and replace components or make repairs as necessary.

Fireplaces, Stoves, Chimneys and Flues
22) The metal fireplace liner was rusty. Significant rust can cause holes in metal. Fireplaces with metal liners typically circulate indoor air behind the firebox and act as a "heatilator" where warmed air is blown or drawn back into the living area. When holes form in liners, smoke and combustion gases can enter the heatilator chamber and living spaces. This is a potential safety hazard. Recommend that a qualified specialist evaluate and repair if necessary.

Interior, Doors and Windows
27) Squeaking or creaking noises occur when walking on one or more sections of flooring. This is usually caused by substandard construction practices where the sub-floor decking is not adequately fastened to the framing below. For example, not enough glue was used and/or nails were used rather than screws. In most cases, this is only an annoyance rather than a structural problem. Various solutions such as Squeeeeek No More and Counter Snap fasteners exist to correct this. Repairs to eliminate the squeaks or creaks may be more or less difficult depending on the floor covering and the access to the underside of the sub-floor. Recommend that a qualified contractor evaluate and repair as necessary. For more information, visit:
