3) Handrails at one or more flights of stairs were wobbly. This is a safety hazard. Recommend that a qualified person repair as necessary.

4) Soil was in contact with one or more wooden deck, porch or balcony support posts. This is a conducive condition for wood destroying organisms. Even if posts are made of treated wood, the cut ends below soil may not have been field treated. Recommend grading soil or repairing as necessary to prevent wood-soil contact.

7) Moderate cracks (1/8 inch - 3/4 inch) and/or leaning were found in the perimiter wall. This may be a structural concern or an indication that settlement is ongoing. The client should consider hiring qualified contractors and/or engineers as necessary for further evaluation. Such contractors may include:

• Foundation repair contractors who may prescribe repairs, and will give cost estimates for such repairs
• Masonry contractors who repair and/or replace brick veneer
• Geotechnical engineers who attempt to determine if settlement is ongoing, and the cause of the settlement
• Structural engineers who determine if repairs are necessary, and prescribe those repairs

At a minimum, recommend sealing cracks to prevent water infiltration. Numerous products exist to seal such cracks including hydraulic cement, resilient caulks and epoxy sealants.
This wall that is cracking is purely cosmetic and in no way supports the home.

8) This asphalt or fiberglass composition roof surface appeared to have two or more layers of shingles. Due to this being a manufactured home, The roof structure was not designed to support the extra weight of a second layer of shingles. Additional layers of composition shingles typically last only 80% of their rated life, and the shingle manufacturer's warranty may be voided. The client should be aware that all layers of roofing will need to be removed when this roof surface needs replacing. I recommend this be further evaluated by a licensed roofer that is familiar with manufactured homes.

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

This roof flashing is installed incorrectly. It is supposed to be underneath the siding and not on top of the siding. and I recommend that it be correctly installed by a qualified roofing contactor.

10) Significant amounts of debris have accumulated in one or more gutters or downspouts. Gutters can overflow and cause water to come in contact with the building exterior, or water can accumulate around the foundation. This is a conducive condition for wood-destroying organisms. Recommend cleaning gutters and downspouts now and as necessary in the future.

11) Significant amounts of debris such as leaves, needles, seeds, etc. have accumulated on the roof surface. Water may not flow easily off the roof, and can enter gaps in the roof surface. Leaks can occur as a result. This is a conducive condition for wood-destroying organisms. Recommend cleaning debris from the roof surface now and as necessary in the future.

12) Nail heads were exposed at one or more shingles. More than just a few exposed nail heads may indicate a substandard roof installation. Recommend applying an approved sealant over exposed nail heads now and as necessary in the future to prevent leaks.

13) Substandard wiring was found at the building exterior. For example, loose boxes. this box is loose on the wall and needs to be sealed from water intrusion. This is a safety hazard. Recommend that a qualified electrician evaluate and repair as necessary and per standard building practices.

14) One or more electric receptacles at the kitchen had no visible ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection, or the inspector was unable to determine if GFCI protection was present. If not GFCI-protected, receptacles in wet areas pose a shock hazard. Recommend that a qualified electrician evaluate and install GFCI protection if necessary and per standard building practices. General guidelines for GFCI-protected receptacles include the following locations:

• Outdoors (since 1973)
• Bathrooms (since 1975)
• Garages (since 1978)
• Kitchens (since 1987)
• Crawl spaces and unfinished basements (since 1990)
• Wet bar sinks (since 1993)
• Laundry and utility sinks (since 2005)

15) Smoke alarms were missing from one or more bedrooms. Smoke alarms should be installed as necessary so a functioning alarm exists in each hallway leading to bedrooms, in each bedroom and on each level. For more information, visit:

16) The water supply pressure was below 40 pounds per square inch (PSI), and the flow appeared to be inadequate. 40-80 PSI is considered the normal range for water pressure in a home. The inspector performed a "functional flow test" during the inspection, where multiple fixtures are run simultaneously, and found there to be low flow. The flow on the outside faucet was 4.7 GPM For example, the shower flow decreased significantly when the toilet was flushed. Recommend that a qualified plumber evaluate and repair or make modifications as necessary. Installing a pressure-boosting system is one possible solution. For information on these systems, visit:

17) The estimated useful life for most water heaters is 8-12 years. This water heater appeared to be beyond this age and/or its useful lifespan and may need replacing at any time. Recommend budgeting for a replacement in the near future, or considering replacement now before any leaks occur. The client should be aware that significant flooding can occur if the water heater fails. If not replaced now, consider having a qualified person install a catch pan and drain or a water alarm to help prevent damage if water does leak.

18) The water heater tank appeared to be leaking. This is an indication that the water heater has failed and is at the end of its service life. A qualified plumber should replace the water heater.

19) The estimated useful life for most forced air furnaces is 15-20 years. This furnace appeared to be beyond this age and/or its useful lifespan and may need replacing or significant repairs at any time. Recommend budgeting for a replacement in the near future.

20) One or more heating or cooling ducts were lying on the ground. Ducts should be supported (typically with straps or hangers) so that they are not in contact with the ground and subject to damage from moisture. Recommend that a qualified HVAC contractor evaluate and make repairs as necessary so ducts are suspended per standard building practices and are not in contact with the ground.

21) One or more heating or cooling ducts have come apart, or had significant gaps at junctions. The main trunk line under the home has come apart and is laying on the ground. This can result in reduced energy efficiency and increased moisture in surrounding spaces. Recommend that a qualified HVAC contractor make permanent repairs as necessary. For example, by securely supporting ducts and installing approved tape or mastic at seams.

22) The digital display on the thermostat was dim or displayed readings in a substandard way. This may be caused by a low or dead battery. The batteries should be replaced. If this condition persists after replacing the batteries, then recommend that a qualified HVAC contractor evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.

24) The range could tip forward. An anti-tip bracket may not be installed. This is a potential safety hazard since the range can tip forward when weight is applied to the open door, such as when a small child climbs on it or if heavy objects are dropped on it. Anti-tip brackets have been sold with all free-standing ranges since 1985. Recommend installing an anti-tip bracket to eliminate this safety hazard. For more information, visit:

25) The dishwasher was inoperable. Recommend that a qualified specialist evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.

The main breaker for the dishwasher was turned off so I could not evaluate its condition. recommend having this evaluated before turning breaker on.

26) 1 cooktop were inoperable. Recommend that a qualified person repair as necessary.

27) The cooktop exhaust fan was inoperable. Recommend that a qualified person repair or replace as necessary.

28) The globe for the light fixture in bathroom A was missing.

29) The exhaust fan at location(s) #A was noisy or vibrated excessively. Moisture may accumulate and result in mold, bacteria or fungal growth. Recommend that a qualified person clean, repair or replace fans as necessary.

30) The clothes dryer exhaust duct terminated in the crawl space. Clothes dryers produce large amounts of moisture which should not enter structure interiors. Moisture may accumulate and result in mold, bacteria or fungal growth. Recommend that a qualified person install, repair or replace the duct as necessary so it terminates outdoors, and per standard building practices. For more information, visit:

31) Floors in one or more areas were sagging or springy. The main section that was spongy was at the front door. This can be caused by over-spanned, undersized or too few joists or beams, or too few support posts. Recommend that a qualified contractor and/or engineer evaluate further. Repairs should be performed by a qualified contractor.

32) One or more windows that were designed to open and close were difficult to open and close. Recommend that a qualified person repair windows as necessary so they open and close easily.

33) One or more window screens were damaged or deteriorated. These window(s) may not provide ventilation during months when insects are active. Recommend replacing window screens as necessary.

34) One or more walls were cracked and/or had substandard repairs. Recommend that a qualified person repair as necessary.

Unsure of the attempted repair that was done here. Recommend this be evaluated by a licensed professional.

35) One or more interior doors were sticking in the door jamb and were difficult to operate. Recommend that a qualified person repair as necessary. For example, by trimming doors.

36) I performed a sewer scope of the main line from the house to the city line at NO CHARGE. The pipe was 65 feet in length and made of ABS plastic. no problems were found in the line at this time. the links to the videos are below
