Tree limbs within 10 feet of roof should be trimmed away to provide air and sunlight to roof, while minimizing debris & dampness.

Page 9 of 32 Exterior As with all areas of the house, we recommend that you carefully examine the roof immediately prior to closing the deal. Note that walking on a roof voids some manufacturer's warranties. Adequate attic ventilation, solar / wind exposure, and organic debris all affect the life expectancy of a roof (see www.gaf.com for roof info). Always ask the seller about the age and history of the roof. On any home that is over 3 years old, experts recommend that you obtain a roof certification from an established local roofing company to determine its serviceability and the number of layers on the roof. We certainly recommend this for any roof over 5 years of age. Metal roofs in snow areas often do not have gutters and downspouts, as there is a concern that snow or ice cascading off the roof may tear gutters from the house. Likewise, be advised that such cascading may cause personal injury or even death. If this house has a metal roof, consult with qualified roofers or contractors regarding the advisability of installing a damming feature which may limit the size and amount of snow / ice sliding from the roof. Asphalt &Fiberglass shingles have a normal life of 15 to 30 years Roll Roofing normal life of 5 to 10 years Slate Roof normal life 30 to 75 years Asbestos Cement Shingles normal life of 30 to 50 years Metal Roof normal life 15 to 40 years Grading and drainage are probably the most significant aspects of a property, simply because of the direct and indirect damage that moisture can have on structures. More damage has probably resulted from moisture and expansive soils than from most natural disasters. Also, there should be gutters and downspouts with splash blocks that discharge away from the building. We have discovered evidence of moisture intrusion inside structures when it was raining that would not have been apparent otherwise. In addition, we recommend that downspouts do not terminate over paved areas such as walks or driveways, as they can contribute to icy slip and fall hazards in winter. Minor settlement or "hairline" cracks in drives, walks or even foundations are are normal to properties of any age. They should, however, be monitored for expansion and sealed as necessary. Note that any siding, but especially composition or hardboard siding must be closely monitored. A classic example is the older style Louisiana Pacific siding, where the failure and deterioration provided grounds for a class action lawsuit. Even modern composition siding and, especially, trim, is particularly vulnerable to moisture damage. All seams be must remain sealed and paint must be applied periodically (especially the lower courses at ground level). It is imperative that continued moisture be kept from it, especially from sprinklers, rain splash back or wet grass. Swelling and deterioration may otherwise result. Vegetation too close to the home can contribute to damage through root damage to the foundation, branches abrading the roof and siding, and leaves providing a pathway for moisture and insects into the home. Although rails are not required around drop-offs less than 30", consider your own personal needs and those of your family and guests. By today's standards, spindles at decks and steps should be spaced no more than 4" apart for the safety of children. Open window wells should have either grates or, preferably, a weatherproof shield installed over them. This will keep rain and snow from building up inside the well and possibly leaking into the home, as well as minimizing your liability from children and non-residents falling inside them. An egress ladder should also be installed within the well, especially at below-grade bedrooms. Thermal images of moisture problems (if any) have been confirmed with a quality moisture meter and proper repairs should only be done by a qualified professional. Moisture can be conducive to fungi-mold, decay and wood destroying insects that cannot always be seen. Also remember that more repair items may be discovered during the process of further evaluations and repairs of any item listed. Although Infrared Thermal Imaging is a far better diagnostic tool than the naked eye, it does not guarantee 100% accuracy, unless removal or destruction of components can be achieved to validate findings. When possible, other tools are used to verify Thermal Images, but even with these considerations we do not claim to have x-ray vision. Conditions may change and cause the apparent temperature readings revealed in Thermal Images to be different at any given time.

Page 20 of 32 Heating System 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. If a fuel burning heater / furnace is located in a bedroom, we recommend evaluation by a qualified heating contractor for safety and air volume requirements. Inspector cannot light pilots. If pilots are "OFF", an inspection is not possible. Have the heating systems activated and fully inspected PRIOR TO CLOSE OF TRANSACTION. Verification of the location or condition of underground fuel storage tanks or environmental risks, if any, is not included. Asbestos materials have been commonly used in heating systems. Determining the presence of asbestos can ONLY be performed by laboratory testing and is beyond the scope of this inspection. Inspecting the heat exchangers for evidence of deterioration, cracks or holes, can only be done by dismantling the unit or other technical procedures. This is beyond the scope of a visual inspection. If the furnace is older than 10 years we recommend review by a licensed HVAC company. This company does not test safety devices. Thermostats are not checked for calibration or timed functions. Adequacy, efficiency or even heat distribution of the system through the house is not part of this inspection. Electronic air cleaners, humidifiers are beyond the scope of this inspection. Have these systems evaluated by a qualified professional. The inspector does not perform pressure tests on refrigerant systems; therefore no representation is made regarding refrigerant charge or line integrity. Subjective judgment of system capacity is not part of the inspection. When outside air temperature is below 65, the air conditioner cannot be tested because it may cause damage to the equipment. In the summer, heat pumps will only be tested in A/C mode to avoid damaging the equipment. Heating Systems Life Expectancy: Electric Furnace 15 to 20 years Oil &Gas Furnaces 15 to 20 years Cast Iron Boilers 30 to 50 years Steel Boilers 10 to 30 years Circulating Pump 10 to 15 years Heat Pumps 6 to 10 years if outside Life Expectancy can vary based on maintenance. Air filters on furnaces should be replaced every 30 to 60 days. **** Heating systems in most cases run 6 months a year, if it supplies your domestic hot water then its 365 days a year. Not having it serviced annually is costing you money. If you see a call out for the heating system needs clean tune and full evaluation...please have it serviced. **** Basement Heating System

The detectors should be hard-wired with battery back-up. Every room you can close a door to there should be a smoke detector.

Page 29 of 32 Interior Features Interior areas consist of bedrooms, baths, kitchen, laundry, hallways, foyer, and other open areas. All exposed walls, ceilings and floors will be inspected. Doors and windows will also be investigated for damage and normal operation. Although excluded from inspection requirements, we will inform you of obvious broken gas seals in windows. This inspection does not include testing for radon, water, mold or other hazardous materials unless specifically requested. A qualified expert should be consulted if you would like further testing. Homes built prior to 1970 may have lead paint, it was banned in 1977 due to health related issues. Testing for lead paint is beyond the scope of this inspection and not included. Plumbing is an important concern in any structure. Moisture in the air and leaks can cause mildew, wallpaper and paint to peel, and other problems. The home inspector will identify as many issues as possible but some problems may be undetectable due to problems within the walls or under the flooring. If fresh paint is found it is possible it was done to conceal a water or moisture problem. Note that if in a rural location, sewer service and/or water service might be provided by private waste disposal system and/or well. Inspection, testing, analysis, or opinion of condition and function of private waste disposal systems and wells is not within the scope of a home inspection. Recommend consulting with seller concerning private systems and inspection, if present, by appropriate licensed professional familiar with such private systems. If a Septic System is on the property, pumping is generally recommended prior to purchase, and then every three years. Your inspection 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, as the inspector will not move personal items. An inspection does not include the identification of, or research for, appliances and other items that may have been recalled or have had a consumer safety alert issued about it. Any comments made in the report are regarding well known notices and are provided as a courtesy only. Product recalls and consumer product safety alerts are added almost daily by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
