It is recommended that the client read the complete report. Grounds 1. Deck: Wood structure and decking Supporting structures are in contact with soil this will shorten life expectancy and will require replacement at some point 2. Vegetation: Trees, Shrubs, Vines Tree limbs over hang the roof and should be cut back to prevent damage to structure, Vines and shrubs in contact with exterior will reduce the effectiveness of the building envelope 3.

11 Page 10 of 22 Grounds (Continued) Grading: Minor slope, Flat Grading has a flat slope at gravel patio area and water could pool against the foundation, There should be a positive slope, from foundation perimeter, for a minimum of six feet

12 Page 11 of 22 Exterior LIMITATIONS; We are unable to detect or predict damage to interior finishes as a result of slow or intermittent water leaks. Mold detection, identification and/or analysis is beyond the scope of a visual inspection. Thermal seal failures of thermalpane glass is beyond our ability to detect or predict. Main Floor Exterior Surface Type: Vinyl siding **Method of Inspection: From Ground Exterior Components Trim: Wood Fascia: Aluminum Loose repairs are recommended to extend life expectancy Soffits: Vented Windows: Vinyl, Sliders

13 Page 12 of 22 Roof LIMITATIONS; Due to unpredictable and latent nature of roof leaks, no assurances or warranty can be provided that the roof will not develop leaks. Weight / grade of shingles not determined. Surface water drainage / gutter drainage not established, The inspection process cannot predict the ability of the roof structure to support heavy snow loads. Most roofs require periodic maintenance. Failure to address such maintenance can result in a leak. A roof can leak at any time. Main Roof Surface **Method of Inspection: From walking on roof **Material: Asphalt shingle Roof shows signs of deterioration, Roof near end of useful life, A qualified roofing professional is recommended for improvements to reduce moisture intrusion to home Type: Gable Roof Water Mitigation Systems Gutters: Aluminum Missing in most locations installation is recommended to improve surface water mitigation

14 Page 13 of 22 Attic Main Attic Unable to Inspect: 50% due to roof design portions of the attic were not visible **Method of Inspection: From the attic access Attic Access Exterior gable **Ventilation: Roof and soffit vents **Insulation: Fiberglass Batts **Vapor Barrier: Plastic Continuity not verified Insulation Depth: 3" Portions of the attic that were visible had minimal insulation improvements are recommended to increase energy efficiency of the home

15 Page 14 of 22 Crawl Space LIMITATIONS; A leaky crawlspace is one of the most common of all house problems. We must caution you that there is a possibility that leaks can develop in your crawlspace at any time. Preventative maintenance can greatly reduce the likelihood of rain water / surface water leaking through / around or under your foundation. Due to the unpredictable and latent nature of crawlspace leaks, no assurances or warranty can be provided that your crawlspace will not leak in the future. We caution you that it is common for crawlspace leaks to develop at any time in the future where no such leaks existed in the past. The Items listed below are the primary causes of crawlspace leaks. The items require either remedial action or regular maintenance Improper Grading Grade slopes towards house Inadequate or faulty eaves troughs Gutters Dirty or clogged, annual cleaning recommended Inadequate downspout extensions, should extend 4-6 feet from foundation to a positive slope Possible clogged leader below grade Main Crawl Space **Method of Inspection: In the crawl space **Moisture Retarder: Plastic over earth No vapor barrier present in 50% of the crawl space. Installation of moisture/vapor barrier recommended to prevent moisture intrusion

16 Page 15 of 22 Crawl Space (Continued) **Moisture Retarder: (continued) **Ventilation: None It is recommended this space be properly conditioned by an HVAC professional once proper placement of insulation and vapor retarder is installed **Insulation: Fiberglass Access: Wood door, Exterior Moisture Penetration: Through soil and North East cornee See exterior notes for surface water mitigation improvments these should be completed ASAP to help prevent moisture intrusion from surface sources and crawlspace should be dried
