1. RoofThe roof inspection portion of the General Home Inspection will not be as comprehensive as an inspection performed by a qualified roofing contractor.Because of variations in installation requirements of the huge number of different roof-covering materials installed over the years, the General HomeInspection does not include confirmation of proper installation. Home Inspectors are trained to identify common deficiencies and to recognizeconditions that require evaluation by a specialist. Inspection of the roof typically includes visual evaluation of the roof structure, roof-coveringmaterials, flashing, and roof penetrations like chimneys, mounting hardware for roof-mounted equipment, attic ventilation devices, ducts forevaporative coolers, and combustion and plumbing vents. The roof inspection does not include leak-testing and will not certify or warranty the roofagainst future leakage. Other limitations may apply and will be included in the comments as necessary.

5. StructureThe General Home Inspection includes inspection of the home structural elements that were readily visible at the time of the inspection. This mayinclude the: foundation; walls; floor structure; and/or roof structure. Soils vary in their stability and ability to support the weight of a structure. Minorcracking is normal with some common foundation materials, is typically limited to the material surface, is not a structural concern, and may not becommented on. Cracking related to soil/foundation movement indicates the potential for present or future structural concerns and will be commentedon to the best of the inspector's ability.

Much of the home structure is hidden behind exterior and interior roof, floor, wall, and ceiling coverings, or is buried underground. Because theGeneral Home Inspection is limited to visual and non-invasive methods, this report may not identify all structural deficiencies. Identification of portionsof the wall structure not directly visible requires logical assumptions on the part of the Inspector that are based on the Inspectors past experience andknowledge of common building practices.

Upon observing indications that structural problems may exist that are not readily visible, or the evaluation of which lies beyond the Inspector'sexpertise, the inspector may recommend evaluation or testing by a specialist that may include invasive measures, which would require homeownerpermission.

6. ElectricalOver the years, many different types and brands of electrical components have been installed in homes. Electrical components and standards havechanged and continue to change. Homes electrical systems are not required to be updated to meet newly enacted electrical codes or standards. Fulland accurate inspection of electrical systems requires contractor-level experience. For this reason, full inspection of home electrical systems liesbeyond the scope of the General Home Inspection.

The General Home Inspection is limited to identifying common electrical requirements and deficiencies. Conditions indicating the need for a morecomprehensive inspection will be referred to a qualified electrical contractor.Inspection of the home electrical system typically includes visualinspection of the following:service drop: conductors, weatherhead, and service mast; electric meter exterior; service panel and sub-panels; serviceand equipment grounding; system and component bonding; and visible branch wiring: receptacles (representative number), switches, lighting
