We appreciate the opportunity to conduct this inspection for you! Please carefully read your entire
Inspection Report. Call us after you have reviewed your report, so we can go over any questions
you may have. Remember, when the inspection is completed and the report is delivered, we are still
available to you for any questions you may have, throughout the entire closing process.
Properties being inspected do not "Pass" or "Fail.” - The following report is based on an inspection
of the visible portion of the structure; inspection may be limited by vegetation and possessions.
Depending upon the age of the property, some items like GFI outlets may not be installed; this
report will focus on safety and function, not current code. This report identifies specific non-
code, non-cosmetic concerns that the inspector feels may need further investigation or repair.
For your safety and liability purposes, we recommend that licensed contractors evaluate and repair
any critical concerns and defects. Note that this report is a snapshot in time. We recommend
that you or your representative carry out a final walk-through inspection immediately before
closing to check the condition of the property, using this report as a guide.

Interior Areas
The Interior section covers areas of the house that are not considered part of the Bathrooms,
Bedrooms, Kitchen or areas covered elsewhere in the report. Interior areas usually consist of
hallways, foyer, and other open areas. Within these areas the inspector is performing a visual
inspection and will report visible damage, wear and tear, and moisture problems if seen. Personal
items in the structure may prevent the inspector from viewing all areas on the interior.

The inspector does not usually test for mold or other hazardous materials. A qualified expert should
be consulted if you would like further testing.

Bathrooms can consist of many features from jacuzzi tubs and showers to toilets and bidets.
Because of all the plumbing involved it is an important area of the house to look over. Moisture in the

inspector will identify as many issues as possible but some problems may be undetectable due to
problems within the walls or under the flooring..

Heat/AC
The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning and cooling system (often referred to as HVAC) is the
climate control system for the structure. The goal of these systems is to keep the occupants at a
comfortable level while maintaining indoor air quality, ventilation while keeping maintenance costs at
a minimum. The HVAC system is usually powered by electricity and natural gas, but can also be
powered by other sources such as butane, oil, propane, solar panels, or wood.

The inspector will usually test the heating and air conditioner using the thermostat or other controls.
For a more thorough investigation of the system please contact a licensed HVAC service person.
