1. Roof General Statement(s)

Roof General Statement(s)

Roof systems are known to be a common source of leaking. WIN is not a licensed roofing contractor, we

evaluate every roof conscientiously and look for indications of leaking, but we will not predict its remaining lifeexpectancy, or guarantee that it will not leak. Every roof will wear differently relative to its age, the number of itslayers, the quality of its material, the method of its application, its exposure to direct sunlight or other prevalentweather conditions, and the regularity of its maintenance. Regardless of its design-life, every roof is only as goodas the waterproof membrane beneath it, which is concealed and cannot be examined without removing the roofmaterial. However, what remains true of all roofs is that, whereas their condition can be evaluated, it is virtuallyimpossible for anyone to detect a leak except as it is occurring or by specific water tests, which are beyond thescope of our service. Even water stains on ceilings, or on the framing within attics, could be old and will notnecessarily confirm an active leak without some corroborative evidence, and such evidence can be deliberatelyconcealed. Consequently, only a roofing contractor can credibly guarantee that a roof will not leak, and they do.Naturally, the sellers or the occupants of the residence will generally have the most intimate knowledge of the roofand of its history. Therefore, we recommend that you consult with the sellers. WIN recommends contacting aqualified licensed roofing contractor for further evaluation and **Certification** against leaking prior to the close ofescrow. In addition, you should obtain comprehensive roof coverage in your home insurance policy.

2. Roof Cover Material(s)

TileRoof systems are known to be a common source of leaking. This inspection looks for indications of leaking, butdoes not guarantee a leak free roof. Interested parties should contact a qualified licensed roofing contractor forfurther evaluation and certification against leaking. In addition, the valleys located on tile roofs are known to be acommon source for roof leaks as dirt and debris can get up under the tiles and plug up the valley areas. This ismost often undetectable during a noninvasive overview of the roof cover. Recommend periodic inspections of theroof valleys by a licensed roofing contractor.

3. Roof Type

Pitched

4. Moss/Mildew

NoneThe inspector recommends inspecting the roof system for moss growth on an annual basis. Products that preventgrowth can be purchased at a local hardware store or home improvement center and can be applied by a homeowner.

5. Debris on Roof

Attention - Debris NotedDebris build up on the roof can create leaks and other issues. It is common for debris to build up in the valleysunder the roofing material that may not be visible at the time of the inspection. Debris build up should be cleanedoff the roof surface on an annual basis as a proper care and maintenance recommendation. Recommend furtherevaluation by a licensed roofing contractor on a regular basis.

There is a large amount of debris build up on the roof. There were tree branches overhanging or in contact with

the roof. Leaves, branches, and/or other material that should be removed at some time in the near future. The

debris can clog gutters, down spouts and/or drains. Debris can hold moisture that can cause damage to the roof

system if large accumulations develop. Debris should be cleaned off the roof surface on an annual basis as a

proper care and maintenance recommendation. Recommend further evaluation and repair by a licensed roofing

contractor.

Roof valleys are a common place for debris build up which can result in roof leaks. Regular inspections for debris

build up in the valley areas is recommend.



Page 32 of 78

6. Cover

One Or More LayersThis roof has at least one layer of roof covering. Inspection for multiple layers of roofing material falls outside thescope of this inspection and is often not visible during this non invasive inspection. More than two layers of roofingis not allowed. If two layers existed, the next roof installation would require the existing layers to be removed priorto adding the new layer of roofing material. This inspection company always recommends further evaluation by aqualified roofer when more than one layer of roofing has been added over an original layer of roofing.Recommend further evaluation and repair by a licensed roofing contractor.

7. Cover Material Condition

AttentionThis roof inspection should be considered a general inspection of the roof system for obvious faults and defects.(Example; cracked, broken, or missing tiles; torn shingles). The inspector is not a licensed roofer and thisinspection is a non-exhaustive inspection of the roof. The inspector recommends that interested parties havequalified licensed roofing company do an exhaustive evaluation of the roof to determine the serviceable lifeexpectancy and obtain a certification.

There are one or more areas on the roof with tiles that appear to have been replaced or repaired at some point inthe past. Recommend checking with the seller in this regard. Recommend further evaluation and repair by alicensed roofing contractor if needed.

11. Vents/Chimneys/Covers

AttentionThere are one or more cracks in the upper mortar crown of the utility chimney. The cracks may allow rain water to

leak down the interior of the chimney and can expedite the deterioration of the bricks and mortar over the years.

Consideration should be given to repairing the mortar cap to prevent further deterioration to the chimney system.

Recommend further evaluation by a qualified fireplace specialist.

12. Gutters/Down Spouts

AttentionThe inspector recommends inspecting and cleaning the gutter system on an annual basis. If not already present,there is gutter screen material that can be installed over the gutter system to help keep debris out of the guttersand to prevent the clogging of the gutters, down spouts, and drain system. The screen material can be purchasedat a local home improvement center.

There are one or more downspouts that are rusty. As an example, the downspout located at the right side of the

home. Recommend further evaluation of the gutter system and repair by a qualified specialist.

13. Drains/Splash Blocks

Not Tested or InspectedIt is difficult without invasive inspection to determine if the down spout drains are plugged with debris. It isimportant to keep the drains and/or splash blocks clear and functional so that they do not overflow next to thefoundation's perimeter. Recommend inspecting the drains and/or splash blocks after moving in and prior to andafter heavy rains to confirm that they are providing their intended service.

14. Indications of Leaking

No



Page 34 of 78

Unless it is currently raining, potential roof leaks are very difficult to identify. WIN is not a licensed roofingcontractor and does not guarantee the roof from leaking. Roof systems are known to be a common source ofleaking. This inspection looks for indications of leaking, but does not guarantee a leak free roof. WIN recommendscontacting a qualified licensed roofing contractor for further evaluation and certification against leaking prior to theclose of this escrow.

If the buyer is interested in obtaining a multi-year roof warranty againstfuture leakage, we recommend that a qualified licensed roofing contractor be contacted to provide this service.

The inspector was unable to determine the number of years of serviceable life left in the roof. Contacting a

qualified roofing expert to evaluate the existing condition of the roofing in order to provide an approximate number

of years of serviceable life left is recommended.

This roof inspection should be considered a general inspection of the roof system for obvious faults and defects.

The inspector is not a roofer and this inspection is a non-exhaustive inspection of the roof. The inspector

recommends that interested parties have qualified licensed roofing company do an exhaustive evaluation of the

roof to determine the serviceable life expectancy and obtain a certification.

Electrical Service

1. Electrical Service General Statement(s)

Electrical Service General Statement(s)The inspection of the electrical system is a non invasive general overview of the functionality of the electricalcomponents in the home AT the time of the inspection. Certain electrical conditions may or may not occur or beobvious during this short time frame. There are a wide variety of electrical systems with an even greater variety ofcomponents, and any one particular system may not conform to current standards or provide the same degree ofservice and safety. What is most significant about electrical systems however is that the national electrical codeNEC is not retroactive, and therefore many residential systems do not comply with the latest safety standards.Regardless, we are not electricians and in compliance with our standards of practice we only test a representativenumber of switches and outlets and do not perform load-calculations to determine if the supply meets the



Page 44 of 78

demand. However, in the interests of safety, we regard every electrical deficiency and recommended upgrade asa latent hazard that should be serviced as soon as possible, and that the entire system be evaluated and certifiedas safe by a licensed electrician. Therefore, it is essential that any recommendations that we may make forservice or upgrades should be completed before the close of escrow, because an electrician could revealadditional deficiencies or recommend some upgrades for which we would disclaim any further responsibility.Exterior ceiling fans are on/off tested. Outdoor use rating of the fans is not verified. Any exterior lighting, outlets,or light fixtures (Ex; lamp posts, column lights, path lights) not affixed to the house fall outside the scope of thisinspection and were not tested. Outlets high up on interior or exterior walls are not tested. Recommend checkingwith the seller in this regard.

2. Panel/Sub-Panel Location(s)

NotedThe main electrical panel is located on the right side of the home.

If there was a sub panel present it was located in the attic area.

There does not appear to be a solar electric system installed at this property.

There does not appear to be a back-up generator system installed at this property.

Solar systems, generators and their installation fall outside the scope of this inspection. Inspection of roofmounted systems if they are present is important to ensure the proper sealing of any penetrations through theroofing material is recommended. In addition, recommend monitoring the penetrations over time to preventmoisture intrusion. Recommend further evaluation by a qualified roofer and electrician if solar or a generator ispresent on site. Recommend checking with the seller in this regard.

3. Service Size (Amps)/(Volts)

200 Amps - 240 Volts

4. Over Current Devices

Sylvania/Zinsco PanelThe electrical panel appears to be the original panel for the structure and is a Sylvania-Zinsco brand panel. This

brand of panel is no longer manufactured and failure of this brand of equipment has been reported. Many

electricians advise the immediate replacement of Zinsco panels, though this is not the only brand of equipment

that is prone to failure. Listed replacement breakers for these panels are available but are more expensive than

other brands that are commonly available today. Due to the age and brand of the panel recommend further

evaluation by a licensed electrician as a preventive safety consideration.

Plumbing

1. Plumbing General Statement(s)

Plumbing General Statement(s)This is a non-invasive inspection of the visible supply, waste and vent piping in this structure. The typical lifeexpectancy of metal piping is 50 years. The inspector recommends that homes equipped with galvanized and/orcast iron piping that are 10 years or older, have a licensed plumber perform an invasive inspection for theadequacy, condition and functionality to determine the remaining useful life of the plumbing system prior to theclose of escrow.



Page 63 of 78

Without being invasive or digging through insulation we try to identify the structure piping. Client should be awarethat if the structure piping was not visible due to the non-invasive nature of this inspection, the client shouldconsult with the seller/property owner. If the seller or property owner is not aware of the structure piping material,it is advised that the buyer contact a licensed plumber for further evaluation. Premature failure of the productsand/or their connection fittings have been reported with the "Kitec" & Zurn brand supply tubing/fittingsmanufactured between the mid 90's through mid 2000's. Older homes that have been remolded may also containthis piping. Recommend ascertaining the brand of structure piping prior to close of escrow.

There are government regulations that require homes in certain counties to be equipped with water-conservingplumbing fixtures based on things such as age, permits pulled, improvements, and/or transfer of property.

Note 1: As of January 1, 2017 all CA single-family residences built prior to January 1, 1994 must comply withthese requirements (permit or no permit) and homeowners are required to install water saving fixtures, if currentfixtures are out of compliance. This law will not affect commercial or multi-family properties until January 1, 2019.

Here are the rules:

*If a toilet is greater than 1.6 gpf, a 1.28 gpf toilet is required.

*If a shower head flows more than 2.5 gpm, a 2.0 gpm shower head is required.

*If a bathroom faucet flows more than 2.2 gpm, a 1.2 gpm faucet is required.

*If a kitchen sink faucet flows more than 2.2 gpm, a 1.8 gpm faucet is required.

These are minimum state requirements and some areas are more stringent. The inspector is not responsible foridentifying or testing the fixtures for flow rate. This inspection company does not look for nor report on the flowrate or conservation rate of any plumbing fixture in the home. Refer to the seller regarding the flow of the currentfixtures. Concerned parties should contact a licensed plumber for a more invasive inspection and determinationprior to close of escrow.

2. Size Service to Structure

3/4 Inch

3. Structure Pipe Material

CopperOther materials may have been used but were not visible at the time of the inspection. Recommend checking withthe seller in this regard. Recommend further evaluation and repair by a licensed plumber.

4. Waste Pipe Material

Plastic/ABSThe interior condition of the main waste lines cannot be determined visually and are outside the scope of thisinspection. This company runs clear water only and for a short period of time. Properties that are vacant or havebeen vacant for any period of time can experience blockage once the home has been occupied and debris andwaste are introduced into the system. We attempt to evaluate drain pipes by flushing every drain that has anactive fixture while observing its draw and watching for blockages or slow drains, but this is not a conclusive testand this method may not provide evidence of a nascent or intermittent problem. You can be sure that blockageswill occur, usually relative in severity to the age of the system, and will range from minor ones in the branch lines,or at the traps beneath sinks, tubs, and showers, to major blockages in the main line. The minor ones are easilycleared, either by chemical means or by removing and cleaning the traps. However, if tree roots grow into themain drain that connects the house to the septic system or public sewer, repairs or replacement could becomeexpensive. For these reasons, we recommend that you check with the sellers in regard to any past drainageproblems, or you may wish to have the main waste line video-scanned before the purchase of the residence.Additionally, you should obtain an insurance policy that covers blockages and damage to the main line.Recommend further evaluation and repair by a licensed plumber.



Page 64 of 78

There have been cracking problems noted with several brands of ABS pipe that were manufactured around 1984through 1990. This inspection does not look for or note the manufacture of the ABS piping in this structure. Inaddition, this inspection company does not include information on any current or past manufacture recalls of anyproduct or equipment in the home. Not all of the pipe manufactured during this period by these companies isconsidered defective. At some point additional information on the ABS class action law suits was available atwebsites like "www.abspipes.com" and others. These sites have since been shut down. If this house was builtbetween 1984-1990 and you have concerns in regards to ABS waste piping, it is recommended that you contact aqualified licensed plumber for additional information and further evaluation.

8. Smoke Detector(s)

AttentionNOTE: Additional Smoke Detector Requirements

MUST READ PRIOR TO OCCUPYING HOME

Smoke detector requirements have changed several times since the early seventies. Local codes are constantlychanging. Smoke detectors are now required in all bedrooms, the hallway or areas outside of the bedrooms, andon each level of the home if multiple levels are present.

These additional requirements are noted in California Law SB745 but are not determined as part of thisinspection:

1. Any smoke detector that is solely battery powered must contain a non-removable battery that is

rated to last 10 years.

2. All old smoke detectors that are solely battery powered must be replaced with those that contain

a sealed battery that is rated to last 10 years.

3. All smoke detectors powered by 120VAC or battery must comply with the provisions of having a

label showing the date of installation and manufacturer.

4. All smoke detectors must be approved and listed by the Office of the State Fire Marshal pursuant

to Health and Safety Code Section 13114.

These are a few examples. It is often not possible to determine these requirements without removing the units.This inspection does not report on whether or not smoke detectors are hard wired, battery operated, or both. Thepresent units are ONLY tested with the "test button," if present, to determine if the units alarm/siren is functioning.This is NOT an evaluation to determine if the units are capable of detecting smoke. Smoke detector units greaterthan 10 years of age should be replaced as they are considered to be at the end of their service life.

Since 1980 the number of fire related deaths have been cut roughly in half by the use of proper functioning smokedetectors. It is very important that you the buyers or a handy man for the buyers re-test all of the smokedetectors and insure all of the rooms mentioned above still have a unit when first moving in, and every monthafter to identify the functional operation of each detector. All detectors should have a more invasive examinationfor SB745 compliance.

For more information or other important details please research California Law : SB745 and Health and Safety

Code 13113.8

Important Note: As per the US Environmental Protection Agency, R22 refrigerant (known as Freon) will becomeillegal in the United States on January 1, 2020. After that date, R22 refrigerant can no longer be manufactured orimported into the US. After R22 becomes illegal on January 1, 2020, older R22 air conditioning systems becomeobsolete and may no longer be repaired when the repair would require adding refrigerant to the system. Exceptfor some simple electrical issues, many types of emergency repairs do require recharging refrigerant. In general,owners of R22 air conditioners may have 3 choices:

1. Do nothing until your system breaks down.

2. Retrofit or convert your old R22 equipment to use an existing refrigerant.

3. Replace your system proactively.
