GLOSSARY
TYPICAL CONDITION - This qualifier is an opinion that is used to indicate that the item was found to be in a working or functional condition that is commensurate for its age and overall condition. Moderate to advanced wear, weathering and deterioration may exist with this denotation. MARGINAL - This qualifier is an opinion that is used to indicate that the item was found to be in working or functional condition, but had exceeded the normal/expected life. Items listed as Marginal may require immediate repair, service, or replacement. Advanced or excessive weathering, wear and deterioration may exist. This item should be deemed as having a limited remaining life expectancy. POOR/UNSAFE - This qualifier is an opinion that is used to indicate that the item was found to be in a nonworking/nonfunctioning condition and may require immediate repair or replacement. This qualifier can also denote an item with advanced deterioration and substantial defect. This qualifier may also denote an item that creates a hazard to the building or its occupants.
RECOMMENDED IMMEDIATE REPAIRS Any defect or concern noted within the body of the inspection report, should be addressed by a new homeowner in a timely manner. All deficiencies listed in the report either as a specific statement of defect in the Comments portion of the report, or as indicated by a Marginal or Poor denotation, or when identified in the Area of Concern check-off sections of the report should be eliminated. Items listed in this section of the summary are recommended for immediate repair or replacement. In most cases there will be a significant difference between replacement as opposed to repair.
COST ESTIMATES The Cost Estimates provided in the summary of the report will always list the least expensive option for corrective action. The cost estimates provided in the summary of the inspection report should be used only as a guideline for obtaining written bids from qualified contractors. Actual bid proposals should be solicited from not less than three qualified, insured, and/or licensed contractors.
RECOMMENDED INTERMEDIATE MAINTENANCE/REPAIRS The items listed in this section of the inspection should be addressed in a timely manner. Intermediate maintenance and repairs must be completed on a regular basis or on a need-to basis. Lack of proper intermediate maintenance can create a significant threat to a building or a portion of the mechanical systems. Also listed in this area items that were functional at the time of the inspection and/or in a general condition that is commensurate with the age of the item, but have a limited remaining expected life.
AREAS NOT COVERED BY THIS INSPECTION REPORT The following areas and systems are not a part of this inspection report and if applicable should be addressed through a separate inspection. Any area not mentioned in the inspection report should be addressed through a separate inspection. The following is a list of typical items not included in this report: Sprinkler Systems, Septic Systems, Main Underground Sewer Line, Solar Systems, EIFS, Mold, Asbestos, Lead-based Paint, Indoor Air Quality, Swimming Pools/Equipment, Hot Tubs, Saunas, Central Vacuum Systems, Fireplace Liners, Underground piping Underground wiring, or items concealed within construction.

Comments: It is recommended that the grade around the perimeter of the foundation have a minimum slope of six inches within the first ten feet of the foundation walls. Minor settling was noted at the driveway concrete slab adjacent to the garage. Caulk/seal the construction joints at the driveway and sidewalk to prevent settling/damage. It is generally recommended that deck support columns bear on concrete piers that extend down to the frost line and extend up not less than six inches above grade. Maintain the stain or water proof compound on the deck planks, stair riser, and guardrail. The bottom step of the deck stairs is in direct contact with soil. The bottom step can be removed and replaced with concrete patio blocks.

Comments: The composition siding have been properly applied to the exterior wall framing. The siding panels have weathering and delamination that is commensurate with the age of the house. Routine maintenance of the siding panels includes; applying a primer/sealer to the bottom edge of the panels to prevent delamination, caulking the joints between two siding panels, caulking the joints of the door/window trim boards, caulking over the nail head that were driven past the plane of the surface, and around all penetrations through the siding panels. Prep and paint the trim boards on the chimney chase, as needed. The brick veneer on the front of the house has no significant damage to the brick unit or mortar joints. A window well cover is recommended. The chimney terminates at the proper height above the roof. A proper chimney cricket has been recently constructed on the west side of the chimney chase to divert run-off around the chimney chase and prevent water intrusion/water damage.

The floor sheathing has been properly applied to the floor joists. The steel I-beam is properly sized and supported by steel columns and beam pockets. The sump pump has advanced corrosion/rust, but is fully functional at this time. A tight fitting sump basin cover is recommended when the sump pump is replaced.

Comments: The windows were in good working condition. All of the exterior doors and first floor windows have proper security hardware. The wall outlets, wall switches, and light fixtures throughout the house were operational. Replace the batteries within the smoke detectors biannually and test the smoke detectors for interconnectivity. Smoke detectors are recommended in each bedroom. The factory-built fireplace is equipped with a set of vented gas logs. The fireplace can be used with gas logs or as a wood-burning appliance. Keep the damper in the fully open position when operating the vented gas logs. A wall switch for a future circulating fan has been installed adjacent to the fireplace.

Comments: The air conditioning system could not be tested because the outdoor air temperature was less than 50F at the time of the inspection. Caulk around the service lines where they pass through the siding panel. Clean the condenser unit coils at the beginning of the cooling season and whenever debris becomes embedded on the condenser unit coils to improve the efficiency of the cooling system.
