July 17, 2018 Ralph Capurro 1900 Franklin Rd Carson City, NV 89706 Re: Home Inspection 270 Thoma Dear Mr. Capurro: Although you, the owner, are paying for this report, it will be written and directed to you as if you were a buyer of this property. In accordance with your request, a structural and mechanical inspection of the above subject property was made by Mark L. Henderson, P.E. and Master Inspector of Structures, on July 17, 2018. The following report has been prepared based on those findings. The scope of this inspection does not include code compliance, the investigation for special permits/approvals, town or city water quality, an inspection for toxic compounds in the soil under or around these premises or the property itself, nor a search of any public records. Attached hereto are the inspection field notes, which contain additional information. These are included as part of the overall evaluation. This report is based on an examination of the major systems in this building; specifically, the heating, plumbing, electrical, and structural systems. This report is an opinion about the condition of this building. It is based on visual evidence available during a diligent inspection of all reasonably accessible areas. No surface materials were removed, no destructive testing undertaken, nor furnishings moved. This report is not

an exhaustive technical evaluation and does not include structural, heat loss, or capacity calculations. Such an evaluation would cost many times more.

Ralph Capurro -2- July 17, 2018 270 Thoma

Owning any building involves some risk. Even the most comprehensive inspection cannot be expected to reveal every condition you may consider relevant to your ownership. Further, without disassembling the building, not everything can be known. You, as a responsible buyer, should examine the portions of this building for which you are most able to judge acceptability. This includes such things as floor coverings, interior wall finishes, appliances, etc. It is our responsibility to evaluate available evidence relevant to the major systems in this building. We are not, however, responsible for conditions that could not be seen or were not within the scope of our service at the time of the inspection. For your reference while reading our report, the following definitions may be helpful: Average - Component or system compares to what is typical for construction in the geographic area in which the inspection occurs. It also compares it to buildings of similar age and construction type. Since construction practices vary from region to region, average is intended to be region specific. Excellent - Component or system is in "as new" condition, requiring no rehabilitation, and should perform as expected. Good - Component or system is sound and performing its function, although it may show signs of normal wear and tear. Some normal maintenance work may be required. Fair - Component or system falls into one or more of the following categories: a) Evidence of previous repairs not in compliance with commonly accepted standards, b) Workmanship not in compliance with commonly accepted standards, c) Component or system is obsolete, d) Component or system approaching end of expected performance. Repair or replacement is required to prevent further deterioration or to prolong expected life. Poor - Component or system has either failed, or cannot be relied upon to continue performing its original function as a result of having exceeded its expected performance, excessive deferred maintenance, or state of disrepair. Present condition could contribute to or cause the deterioration of other adjoining elements or systems. Repair or replacement is required.

®


All ratings are determined by comparison to other buildings of similar age and construction type. Further, some details of workmanship and materials will be examined more closely in higher quality homes where such details of workmanship and materials typically become more relevant. The report which follows is furnished at your request in strict confidence by us as your agent and employee for your exclusive use as an aid in determining the physical condition of the subject premises. This report is intended to cover only such portions of the premises and the equipment therein as may be examined visually, without removing surface materials, and we wish to advise you that, although such premises and/or equipment may be in good condition when examined, the condition may change thereafter. Our primary purpose is to provide an understanding of the house you are considering. We do, of course, look for problems, particularly those we would consider major deficiencies. Please keep in mind that we generally define a major deficiency as one that would cost approximately $500 or more to correct. Any house will have minor items deserving attention. Often these are matters of personal preference. It is not the intent of our inspection to detail every minor defect we might find. Our evaluation of this structure is based on many indirect observations. We cannot see most of the framing. We look for cracks, bulges and other evidence of distress or deterioration to help us evaluate the condition. As with any limited inspection, it is possible that there are structural deficiencies that cannot be known.

This inspection and report do not include code compliance, mold investigations, environmental investigations, indoor air quality analysis, municipal regulatory compliance, subsurface investigation, verification of prior uses, or records research related to this building.

This inspection report is limited to observations made from visual evidence. No destructive or invasive testing was performed. The report is not to be considered a guarantee of condition and no warranty is implied. Our inspection does not make any attempt to know or verify the prior uses of this property and cannot determine whether or not illegal activities have been engaged in on or near the property, including but not limited to, the use or manufacture of illegal substances, criminal events or the presence of substances banned or controlled by federal, state

®


or local law. If this is of concern to you, we recommend that you make appropriate inquiries into past uses to resolve your concerns. No home is perfect. We will be discussing many different subjects in this report as well as offering recommendations for changes and improvements to this home. As you read the report, pay particular attention to our notes regarding the fact that many of our observations and recommendations are typical of many homes we look at. Thus, while it may seem that there is some work to do during the next five to ten years, keep in mind that no home is perfect and all deserve some care, attention and upgrading.

SUMMARY

For your convenience, we have prepared the following summary to highlight the condition of the major systems of the house. Please refer to the appropriate section of this report, including the attached check sheets, for a more detailed discussion of these systems. Please note that we have emphasized some comments using bold or italicized type. This emphasis is intended to call your attention to certain observations we believe are important to your consideration of this home. However, since we do not know your background or interests as a homeowner, you should not assume that these are the only observations that may be important to you. Please be sure to read our report thoroughly and completely. The structural system is in generally good to fair condition. The heating/cooling system is in good condition. The plumbing system is in good condition. The electrical system is in good condition. The exterior is in good to fair condition. The roofing is in good condition.

STRUCTURE

This house is a one story residence, approximately 98 years old, consisting of wood/clapboard siding exterior walls with an asphalt composition shingle roof surfacing. Where visible, the floor joists, girders, columns, ceiling joists, rafters, and wall framing are in generally good condition.

®


The basic construction of these premises consists of concrete foundation walls for the full basement area, with a floor joist system above and a concrete slab foundation for the lower area. The upper level floor joist members are supported by a column/girder and bearing wall system. This is a standard method of construction. Significant deterioration of the old concrete foundation walls has occurred over the years with extensive surface grouting having been accomplished in an attempt to extend the life of the foundation system. This coating work is failing, see photos #8 & 9, and on-going work to maintain the integrity of the foundation walls needs to be anticipated. No evidence of water seepage or moisture was noted on the basement walls or floor at the time of inspection. However, it should not be assumed that water problems cannot and will never occur there. Basement water problems result from a number of sources under a variety of conditions. Indoor air quality is a growing concern. Mold and mildew, fostered by moisture accumulation, may lead to respiratory discomfort and aggravate allergies and other respiratory conditions for some people. While we may comment on readily visible evidence of mold infestations, this inspection and report should not be considered a mold investigation of any kind. Such an investigation, if desired, should be undertaken by individuals specifically trained and qualified for such work. For some individuals, the presence of mold may aggravate certain respiratory conditions. And, for still a smaller group, may actually be toxic. Organizations like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have not established any levels considered to be safe or unsafe for mold. This is not for lack of trying, it is a matter of complexity. If you find mold, it often can be removed effectively using a chlorine solution (e.g. diluted Clorox) and then monitoring the area to determine if it returns. Mold is usually the result of moisture. Controlling moisture penetration will typically eliminate the opportunity for mold to survive. For more information about mold, you might want to consider visiting one or more of the following websites: www.iaqa.com www.epa.gov/iaq/molds/index.html www.cdc.gov (search on mold)

http://www.iaqa.com/�

http://www.epa.gov/iaq/molds/index.html�

http://www.cdc.gov/�

®


No readily visible evidence of mold was found during our inspection. Further, no visible evidence of significant moisture accumulation or penetration was noted. However, this inspection should not be considered a specific mold investigation. The bearing wall system apparently consists of 2 x 4 construction and, although not visible, there is no indication of a problem with the wall framing members. The roof structural system consists of 2 x 4 rafters spaced at 24” on center with 2 x 4 ceiling joists spaced at 16” on center. The roof deck is sheathed with OSB. No major problems with the roof system were noted at the time of the inspection. The amount of ventilation in the attic is below standard. The minimum attic ventilation should be one square foot of free vent area for each 300 square feet of attic floor area. Thus, periodic inspections of the attic, for evidence of moisture condensation, should be accomplished. More attic ventilation is, nevertheless, our strong suggestion, not only for release of water vapors generated within the house, but for longer roof shingle life, which is affected by heat build-up in the attic. The lack of proper ventilation has had no adverse affect on the structure. While there was no visible evidence of any significant dry rot present in this structure, it should not be assumed that no dry rot exists in any of the inaccessible areas. Dry rot can result from moisture accumulating underneath the siding, behind trim, or within the wall cavities should the normal drying process be restricted by insulation or other obstacles. Therefore, it is possible that you will encounter some dry rot should you at any time undertake any projects that involve disassembly of the portions of this structure normally inaccessible to visual inspection. This is typical for any home. You need to understand that, with a house of this age, there may be significant problems that are not visible during an inspection which can undertake no destructive or exploratory actions. While such problems are common, they can also be expensive in terms of money and time. Every effort is made to determine the condition of the structure of this house; however, if you do undertake some work on this house which involves removal of interior or exterior finish, etc., you should anticipate discovering some structural problems which will require immediate repair. This is part of the nature of an older home.

®


Slopes in various floors, door frames not plumb, and cracks in interior surfaces were noted. The foregoing is the result of the condition of structural members, settlement, and old age. This is very common in structures of this age group. There are, however, no indications of structural instability.

MECHANICAL

This home is heated by a gas-fired, forced hot air heating unit. This unit consists of a burner (the small unit located at the front), a furnace (in which the air is heated), and a circulating fan (which distributes the air to the various rooms). With the air conditioning unit in operation, the heating unit and system was not tested. This unit appears to be relatively new, it is a good one and, if properly maintained, should give many years of dependable service. It is recommended that the burner and heating unit be cleaned and serviced at least once each year. This cleaning and servicing should include the motor, blower, filter, a check for proper chimney draft, etc. Although there was no evidence of a problem, we recommend that a smoke test or similar method (conducted by a heating contractor) be performed in this furnace periodically to determine if there are cracks in the heat exchanger which would require a furnace replacement. A cracked heat exchanger can allow contamination of heated air, which can become a health hazard. This house was apparently heated with oil fuel at one time as evidenced by the oil tank vent pipe. See photo #3. It is not known if this tank has been properly abandoned. The central air conditioning equipment was in operation at the time of inspection. This equipment should be cleaned, serviced, and adjusted each year prior to the start of the cooling season. This servicing should include the motor-blower unit, the filter, all electrical controls and devices for starting and operating, etc. The deteriorated Freon line insulation, see photo #2, needs to be replaced. Where visible, the plumbing distribution piping in this home consists of copper and galvanized iron. This system was in operating condition at the time of the inspection. Water pressures in the various plumbing fixtures were normal and most fixtures were tested and found to be in working order.

®


Evidence of what appears to be asbestos insulation was noted on the hot water pipes in these premises. See photo #7. It is recommended that consideration be given to the proper removal or recovering of this insulation by a competent contractor since asbestos insulation can represent a potential health hazard. In connection with the waste disposal system, no visible evidence of problems with same were apparent at the time of this inspection. It should be realized that no excavations or diggings were made as part of this inspection. In houses of this age, periodic cleaning of the sewer drain line can be anticipated to clear out vegetation that may have entered the line from the exterior. As we understand it, this house is served by both municipal water and municipal sewer and, therefore, little problem need be anticipated in either of those areas. However, you should be aware that you are typically responsible for the cost of any repairs related to the portions of that system contained within your property lines. Clarification of this responsibility can be obtained through your local code enforcement official. The bathroom exhaust fan does not work.

ELECTRICAL

A typical electrical system consists of two distinct components: (1) the electric service entrance, and (2) the electric circuits. The service entrance determines the capacity of the electric power available to the home. The electric circuits distribute the power through the home. Electrical devices in a home typically use either 120 volts or 240 volts. The major appliances such as clothes dryers, kitchen ranges, water heaters, and electric heating units require 240 volts. General purpose circuits (lighting, outlets, etc.) require 120 volts. Our investigation of the electrical system is limited to the visible components, the entrance cable, meter box, service panel, outlets and switches, and the visible portions of the wiring. A larger portion of the electrical system is hidden behind walls and ceilings and, obviously, all the conditions relating to these unseen areas cannot be known. While some deficiencies in the system are readily discernible, not all conditions that can lead to the

®


interruption of electrical service, or that are hazardous, can be identified. The electrical power entering these premises, consisting of a three wire service, 120/240 voltage, and with approximately 100 amperes available, is adequate to serve the needs of these premises. Many major electrical appliances are now in use, but if any additional equipment is desired, it is suggested that a competent electrician be consulted so that no one circuit becomes overloaded or to determine if additional circuits are necessary. A spot check of electrical outlets and switches revealed no problems with same. This house is equipped with ground fault interrupt (GFI) outlets in the bathroom and kitchen areas. The purpose of a GFI outlet is to provide positive protection against a shock hazard since it will "trip" almost instantaneously, thus protecting you. Should the outlet "trip," simply reset it for continuing operation. Periodically, you should test the GFI outlet for proper operation. There is a test button at the outlet itself. When you push the test button, the GFI outlet should trip to the off position. It would be wise to have each of the present circuits fully identified so that you will know what electrical load is on each circuit. The important point to remember is not to overload any one circuit and if you have any doubts about this item, it is suggested that a competent electrician be consulted. Overall, the electrical system is in good condition. Very little work is needed or anticipated for the foreseeable future. However, care and proper maintenance of this system is always important to keep it in safe condition.

INTERIOR

As a responsible homeowner, you are best able to judge the condition of the interior finish of the rooms. In this section of the report we are concerned with those things which are technically and financially significant. For example, stains, which might indicate roof or plumbing leaks, older wall or ceiling material, which may require repair/replacement; the use of substandard materials on interior walls or ceilings; or the quality and condition of such items as the doors, windows, and cabinetry are those things which can affect the overall quality and condition of a home.

®


Overall, the materials used throughout the interior of this home are generally good. Although minor repairs and maintenance should always be expected, the quality of the doors, windows, cabinetry, hardware, molding, etc. used indicates that very few serious problems need to be anticipated for at least the next five to ten years. The interior of this home consisted of a variety of materials, including lathe & plaster, plasterboard and sheetrock which are in good to fair condition. Since this house was apparently constructed and painted prior to 1977, there is a high probability that lead paint was used. It is likely that any old paint that remains (and it is virtually impossible to remove all paint from any home) may contain lead. Even lab analysis of paint samples could not guarantee that no lead exists anywhere else. Thus, caution should be exercised when working around any painted surfaces, particularly during remodeling work. Children and pets should not be allowed to chew on any painted surfaces. Exposure to lead-based paint can be reduced by replacing the painted item, covering the lead paint surface with a sealant, wall paneling material, or removing the lead paint. Any renovations involving lead paint surfaces should be done in accordance with state and Federal regulations and guidelines. We recommend that prior to any renovation of this building, a lead detection scan be conducted to determine the presence of lead. Otherwise, no further action is required presently. Various door and door hardware servicing and adjustments are needed and some window and window hardware repairs, servicing, and adjustment are needed. See photo #6. The joint between the tub/shower and floor needs to be kept caulked to prevent moisture entry into the subfloor and structural floor. This home is equipped with smoke detectors. We recommend that you test them monthly for proper operation. Most of the window glass in this house is of the insulating glass type and this is good. Seals in thermal pane windows can break down within ten to fifteen years of their installation. Condensation developing between the panes of such a glass unit is indicative of a broken seal. These conditions are not always visible, however, depending on temperature and humidity conditions. In general, repair of broken seals requires the replacement of the damaged glass unit. No evidence of condensation/fogging of insulating glass was noted in these premises.

®


The few missing/damaged window screens need to be replaced. The insulation in the attic area is good and exceeds the present standards of heat conserving practice. Unless otherwise noted on the inspection field notes, none of the appliances and/or equipment in and about this property were tested. Radon gas has been identified to possibly be a problem in the region. The short-term tests out on the market are not as reliable as the long-term tests and should only be relied upon if a high reading is measured. In that instance, a long-term test is needed to verify the level of radon in the building. Mitigation of high radon levels usually involves crawl area/basement ventilation, which is most often easily and inexpensively accomplished. For a list of certified radon consultants and for more information on local/regional radon conditions visit www.unce.unr.edu/radon.

EXTERIOR

The exterior walls of these premises are in good to fair condition and the paint on the exterior of these premises is in good to fair condition. Any new painting should be done only after all exposed wood has had an opportunity to dry, all loose paint is scraped away, and a proper primer is applied. There is a high probability that lead paint has been used on the exterior of this home, considering its age. Precautions should be taken with preparing the house for painting. The ground surface should be covered to collect and properly dispose of any flaking or peeling paint that is removed. This can add considerably to the cost of repainting this house. In addition, prior to painting, it is recommended that caulking compound be placed around all window and door frames. This caulking prevents drafts and possible moisture penetration. The foregoing is not expensive to accomplish but it is important. The roof is in good condition and no repairs are indicated at this time. This observation is the result of an inspection of the roof surfacing from ground level, from the attic space and from walking on the roof. With any roof, regardless of age, minor leakage should be expected from time to time. This can occur along the edges of the roof, at joints between different roof surfaces, and around the chimney. Normally, these repairs are easily accomplished.

The questionable roof-to-masonry chimney flashing, see photo #5, will need to be kept sealed to prevent moisture intrusion. The front porch steps are not equipped with handrails. See photo #4. For your safety, the stairway should be equipped with a solidly mounted handrail approximately 36 inches above the leading edge of each step and, normally, on the right hand side as you are descending.

MAINTENANCE PLAN

To help provide a perspective for the work that we have recommended for this home, the following schematic maintenance plan is offered. This list should not be considered all-inclusive since there will surely be other things you will want to make part of this list. Our purpose in providing this list is to help you organize some of the work that we have recommended, with particular emphasis on those things that need attention within the next year or so. Note that those items in normal type are maintenance requirements that are common for most homes, while those items that are italicized are specific repairs that are recommended for this home. Items that need immediate attention:

− Anticipate on-going foundation maintenance − Anticipate age-related discoveries − Be aware that the heating system was not tested − Verify oil tank abandonment − Replace Freon line insulation − Consider asbestos abatement − Have sewer line separately evaluated − Replace bathroom exhaust fan − Replace missing/damaged screens − Be aware that the kitchen appliances were not tested − Seal roof-to-chimney flashing − Install handrail for entry steps

Within the first year of ownership:

− Improve attic/soffit ventilation − Insulate hot water heater − Identify service panel circuits − Perform long-term radon test

CLOSING

As a final word, and speaking in general terms, except as noted, the conditions found in these premises are quite typical of a house of this construction and this age group and same can be further described as being structurally sound. This report is not to be used as a basis for determining the value of such premises or whether same is or is not to be

®


purchased. This report is not to be construed as a guarantee of the premises or equipment therein or of their fitness for use. Our report is not intended to determine the insurability of your home or any of its components, materials or systems. Insurance companies use many different standards and criteria to determine what is or is not covered under a homeowner’s policy. For example, some do not cover certain types of roofing while others avoid certain types of siding. If this is a concern for you, we suggest that you confirm insurability with your local insurance agent before making your final decision about this home. I trust that the foregoing report, plus our main area inspection field notes, which are attached hereto, will give you a word picture of the main structural and mechanical features of these premises at this time. In general, keep in mind that many of the suggestions we have made in this report represent improvements

to this home rather than deficiencies. Thus, much of the work we have suggested can be handled as time, finances, and personal preference dictate. Owning any home can be overwhelming. Thus, keep in mind that not all of the things we have recommended must be done immediately.

This report is the complete response to your request for an inspection of this property and should be read in full. It supersedes any discussions that may have occurred during the inspection. If there is any area of this property where you have a particular concern based either on this report or your own personal observations, we recommend a more exhaustive technical evaluation. As noted, the inspection represented by this report focuses on the major systems in this home. While a spot check of things like electrical switches, outlets, appliances, and other equipment was made, the condition of these things can change unexpectedly. Therefore, we recommend that you visit this home at least one more time before taking ownership, to confirm that everything is in operating order. If you have any questions about this report or inspection, please feel free to call our engineer for clarification. There is no additional charge for a reasonable number of phone consultations. Should an additional visit to the home be necessary, however, an additional fee will be charged. Unauthorized reproduction or alteration of this report or any part thereof, without express written permission of the above named client, for whom this report is prepared, is prohibited.
