21) Repair/Maintain, Evaluate - The garage automatic vehicle door was noisy when operating.Recommend that a qualified contractor evaluate, service and repair the garage vehicle door opener and/ortracks as necessary.

Limitations: The following items are not included in this inspection: generator systems, transfer switches,surge suppressors, inaccessible or concealed wiring; underground utilities and systems; low-voltagelighting or lighting on timers or sensors. Any comments made regarding these items are as a courtesyonly. Note that the inspector does not determine the adequacy of grounding or bonding, if this system hasan adequate capacity for the client's specific or anticipated needs, or if this system has any reservecapacity for additions or expansion. The inspector does not operate circuit breakers as part of theinspection, and does not install or change light bulbs. The inspector does not evaluate every wall switch orreceptacle, but instead tests a representative number of them per various standards of practice. Whenfurnishings, stored items or child-protective caps are present some receptacles are usually inaccessibleand are not tested; these are excluded from this inspection. Receptacles that are not of standard 110 voltconfiguration, including 240-volt dryer receptacles, are not tested and are excluded. The functionality of,power source for and placement of smoke and carbon monoxide alarms is not determined as part of thisinspection. Upon taking occupancy, proper operating and placement of smoke and carbon monoxidealarms should be verified and batteries should be changed. These devices have a limited lifespan andshould be replaced every 10 years. The inspector attempts to locate and evaluate all main and sub-panels.However, panels are often concealed. If panels are found after the inspection, a qualified electrician shouldevaluate and repair if necessary. The inspector attempts to determine the overall electrical service size,but such estimates are not guaranteed because the overall capacity may be diminished by lesser-ratedcomponents in the system. Any repairs recommended should be made by a licensed electrician.Electric service condition: No defects noted at time of inspection

Plumbing / Fuel Systems

Primary service type: Underground, OverheadService voltage (volts): 120-240Estimated service amperage: 200Primary service overload protection type: Circuit breakersMain disconnect rating (amps): 200Condition of main service panel: No visual defects noted at time of inspectionLocation of main service panel #A: GarageLocation of main disconnect: Breaker at top of main service panelCondition of branch circuit wiring: Required repair, replacement and/or evaluation (see commentsbelow)Branch circuit wiring type: CopperGround fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection present: YesArc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) protection present: YesSmoke alarms installed: Yes, but not testedCarbon monoxide alarms installed: No, recommend install

22) Safety, Repair/Maintain - Based on the age of this structure and the appearance of existing smokealarms, the alarms may have been installed more than 10 years ago. According to National Fire ProtectionAssociation, aging smoke alarms don't operate as efficiently and often are the source for nuisance alarms.Older smoke alarms are estimated to have a 30% probability of failure within the first 10 years. Newersmoke alarms do better, but should be replaced after 10 years. Unless you know that the smoke alarmsare new, replacing them when moving into a new residence is also recommended by NFPA.

23) Safety, Repair/Maintain - No carbon monoxide alarms were visible. This is a potential safetyhazard. Washington State requires CO alarms to be installed for new construction and/or for homes beingsold. Recommend installing approved CO alarms outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediatevicinity of the bedrooms on each level and in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.

24) Safety, Minor Defect - One electric receptacle was loose or not securely anchored. Wire conductorscan be damaged due to repeated movement and/or tension on wires, or insulation can be damaged. Thisis a shock and fire hazard. Recommend that a qualified person repair/secure as necessary.

Limitations: The following items are not included in this inspection: humidifiers, dehumidifiers, electronicair filters; solar, coal or wood-fired heat systems; thermostat or temperature control accuracy and timedfunctions; heating components concealed within the building structure or in inaccessible areas;underground utilities and systems; safety devices and controls (due to automatic operation). Anycomments made regarding these items are as a courtesy only. Note that the inspector does not provide anestimate of remaining life on heating or cooling system components, does not determine if heating orcooling systems are appropriately sized, does not test coolant pressure, or perform any evaluations thatrequire a pilot light to be lit, a shut-off valve to be operated, a circuit breaker to be turned "on" or aserviceman's or oil emergency switch to be operated. It is beyond the scope of this inspection todetermine if furnace heat exchangers are intact and free of leaks. Condensation pans and drain lines mayclog or leak at any time and should be monitored while in operation in the future. Where buildings containfurnishings or stored items, the inspector may not be able to verify that a heat source is present in all"liveable" rooms (e.g. bedrooms, kitchens and living/dining rooms).General heating system type(s): Forced air, FurnaceGeneral heating distribution type(s): Ducts and registersLast service date of primary heat source: UnknownCondition of forced air heating/(cooling) system: No defects noted at time of inspectionForced air heating system fuel type: Natural gasEstimated age of forced air furnace: 2004Forced air heating system manufacturer: Carrier

Photo 29-2

Fireplaces, Stoves, Chimneys and Flues

30) Repair/Maintain, Evaluate - The inspector was unable to determine the last service date of the gasfired forced air furnace and it appears due. Recommend that a qualified HVAC contractor inspect, clean,and service this system, and make repairs if necessary. For safety reasons, and because this system isfueled by gas, this servicing should be performed annually in the future. Any needed repairs noted in thisreport should be brought to the attention of the HVAC contractor when it's serviced.

Photo 30-1

Limitations: The following items are not included in this inspection: coal stoves, gas logs, chimney flues(except where visible). Any comments made regarding these items are as a courtesy only. Note that theinspector does not determine the adequacy of drafting or sizing in fireplace and stove flues, and also doesnot determine if prefabricated or zero-clearance fireplaces are installed in accordance with themanufacturer's specifications. The inspector does not perform any evaluations that require a pilot light tobe lit, and does not light fires. The inspector provides a basic visual examination of a chimney and anyassociated wood burning device. The National Fire Protection Association has stated that an in-depth Level2 chimney inspection should be part of every sale or transfer of property with a wood-burning device. Suchan inspection may reveal defects that are not apparent to the home inspector who is a generalist.Condition of gas-fired fireplaces or stoves: Required repair, replacement and/or evaluation (seecomments below)Gas fireplace or stove type: Metal pre-fab fireplaceCondition of chimneys and flues: No defects noted at time of inspectionGas-fired flue type: B-vent

Attic and Roof Structure

31) Safety, Repair/Replace - The gas fireplace insert pilot light would not stay lit. The appliance wasnot fully evaluated as a result. This is often caused by a failed thermal sensor and is often a low costrepair. The fireplace also appeared to be past due for routing servicing. Recommend that a qualified HVACtechnician, clean, service and repair the fireplace now and as necessary in the future.

Photo 31-1

Limitations: The following items or areas are not included in this inspection: areas that could not betraversed or viewed clearly due to lack of access; areas and components obscured by insulation. Anycomments made regarding these items are made as a courtesy only. The inspector does not determine theadequacy of the attic ventilation system. Complete access to all roof and attic spaces during all seasonsand during prolonged periods of all types of weather conditions (e.g. high/low temperatures, high/lowhumidity, high wind and rain, melting snow) would be needed to do so. The inspector is not a licensedengineer and does not determine the adequacy of roof structure components such as trusses, rafters orceiling beams, or their spacing or sizing.Attic inspection method: Viewed from hatch(es)Location of attic access point #A: GarageAttic access points that were opened and viewed, traversed or partially traversed: ACondition of roof structure: No defects noted at time of inspectionCeiling structure: TrussesCondition of insulation in attic (ceiling, skylight chase, etc.): No defects noted at time of inspectionCeiling insulation material: Fiberglass loose fillApproximate attic insulation R value (may vary in areas): More than R-38Condition of roof ventilation: No defects noted at time of inspectionRoof ventilation type: Box vents (roof jacks), Enclosed soffit vents

32) Comment - All attic areas and roof structures more than 8 feet from the attic access wereinaccessible due to possible damage to insulation if traversed and lack of permanent walkways. Theseareas were not evaluated and are excluded from the inspection.

Crawl Space

Limitations: Structural components such as joists and beams, and other components such as piping,wiring and/or ducting that are obscured by under-floor insulation are excluded from this inspection. Theinspector does not determine if support posts, columns, beams, joists, studs, trusses, etc. are of adequatesize, spanning or spacing.

The inspector does not guarantee or warrant that water will not accumulate in the crawl spaces in thefuture. Complete access to all crawl space areas during all seasons and during prolonged periods of alltypes of weather conditions (e.g. heavy rain, melting snow) would be needed to do so.

The inspector attempts to locate all crawl space access points and areas. Access points may be obscuredor otherwise hidden by furnishings or stored items. In such cases, the client should ask the property ownerwhere all access points are that are not described in this inspection, and have those areas inspected. Notethat crawl space areas should be checked at least annually for water intrusion, plumbing leaks and pestactivity.Crawl space inspection method: Partially traversedLocation of crawl space access point #A: Building exteriorCrawl space access points that were opened and viewed, traversed or partially traversed: ACondition of floor substructure above: No visual defects noted at time of inspectionPier or support post material: Wood, Bearing wallBeam material: Solid woodFloor structure above: Engineered wood joistsCondition of insulation underneath floor above: No visual defects noted at time of inspectionInsulation material underneath floor above: Fiberglass roll or battCondition of vapor barrier: No visual defects noted at time of inspectionVapor barrier present: Yes, FullCondition of crawl space ventilation: No visual defects noted at time of inspectionVentilation type: with vents

34) Repair/Replace, Evaluate - Standing water was found throughout the crawl space. 6" depth wasfound throughout the South section, above and below the vapor barrier. Water from crawl spaces canevaporate and enter the structure above causing high levels of moisture in the structure. This is aconducive condition for wood-destroying organisms. While a minor amount of seasonal water is commonlyfound in crawl spaces, significant amounts should not be present.

Rain runoff is the most common cause of wet crawl spaces, but water can come from other sources suchas groundwater or underground springs. Recommend that a qualified person correct any issues related tooutside perimeter grading and/or roof drainage (see any other comments about this in this report). Ifstanding water persists, then recommend that a qualified contractor who specializes in drainage issuesevaluate and repair as necessary. Typically such repairs include:

Repairing, installing or improving underground footing and/or curtain drainsDigging trenches in the crawl space to collect or divert waterInstalling sump pumps
