15 Report Summary Report Summary This is a visual inspection. No destructive testing is performed. This is not a soil inspection nor do we inspect for formaldehyde, radon, asbestos, Chinese drywall, lead paint, mold, hazardous materials/substances, landscape lighting, sprinkler systems, septic systems/drain fields, smoke alarms or recreational equipment such as Jacuzzis etc.. It is recommended that noted deficiencies be investigated further by licensed companies specializing in those disciplines. Inspection is subject to conditions at the time of inspection. Appliances are checked to see if they're in operable condition. This is not a code inspection as codes change frequently and vary between municipalities. We make no guarantees for expected life. It is impossible to verify conditions of places inaccessible in walls under and in between floors, behind furniture appliances etc., and we assume no responsibility for those items as such. Estimates for repairs are approximations and we do not guarantee their accuracy. Possible solutions for problems are solely opinions based on conditions at the time of the inspection and are not to be assumed as being totally conclusive The summary below consists of potentially significant findings. These findings can be a safety hazard, a deficiency requiring a major expenses or further investigation to correct or items I would like to draw extra attention to. The summary is not a complete listing of all the findings in the report, and reflects the opinion of the inspector. Please review all of the pages of the report as the summary alone does not explain all the issues. We recommend repairs should be done by licensed &bonded contractors.
