The following checklist should help you undertake these improvements: X Re-key or change the locks on all exterior entrances, for improved security. X Check that all windows and doors are secure. Improve window hardware as necessary. Security rods can be added to sliding windows and doors. Consideration could also be given to a security system. X Create a plan of action in the event of a fire in your home. Ensure that there is an operable window or door in every room of the house. Consult with your local fire department regarding fire safety issues and what to do in the event of fire. X Examine driveways and walkways for trip hazards. Undertake repairs where necessary. X Examine the garage and interior of the home for trip hazards. X Ensure that the grade of the land around the house encourages water to flow away from the foundation. X Hire a licensed Pest Control Service. Ask your neighbors for referrals. X If you have disturbed the ground within 16 inches of the foundation installing landscaping, plumbing, irrigation, lighting, gas lines or additional concrete work, call your Termite Pretreatment contractor for re treatment. Landscaping should not be installed within 16 inches of the foundation. Irrigation should be installed outside the plant line. X Investigate the location of the main shut-offs for the plumbing, heating and electrical systems. X Review your home inspection report for any items that require immediate repair or further investigation. Address these
Page 25 of 33 Maintenance Advice (Continued) areas as required. Follow up all items with your builder (if under warranty) until completed satisfactorily. REGULAR MAINTENANCE EVERY MONTH X Check that fire extinguishers are fully charged. Re-charge if necessary. X Examine heating/cooling air filters and replace or clean as necessary. See January 2000 Consumer Reports Ratings. X Inspect and clean electronic air cleaners. X Open and close all windows and doors to assure they operate freely. X Carefully inspect the condition of shower enclosures. Repair or replace deteriorated grout and caulk. Ensure that water is not escaping the enclosure during showering. Check below all plumbing fixtures for evidence of leakage. X Secure loose toilets, or repair flush mechanisms that run on. X Test all ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) devices. X Test all arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) devices. They are located in the main electrical panel. X Test the overhead garage door opener, to ensure that the auto-reverse mechanism is responding properly. Clean and lubricate hinges, rollers and tracks on overhead doors. Use Teflon spray on the hinges and rollers and the manufacturers recommended lubricant on the drive. SPRING AND FALL X Schedule routine preventative maintenance in March for air conditioners and October for furnaces and fireplaces. X Drain your water heater of built up sediment. X Clean gutters and downspouts. Ensure that downspouts are secure, and that the discharge of the downspouts is away from the foundation. X Trim back tree branches and shrubs to ensure that they are not in contact with the house. X Remove tree debris from your roof. Hire a licensed roofing contractor to do this. X Inspect the exterior walls and foundation for evidence of damage, cracking or movement. Watch for bird nests or insect activity. X Inspect all driveways, walkways, decks, porches, and landscape components for evidence of deterioration, movement or safety hazards. X Inspect for evidence of wood boring insect activity. Eliminate any wood/soil contact around the perimeter of the home. X Replace or clean exhaust hood filters. ANNUALLY X Replace smoke detector batteries. Use Lithium 9-volt batteries. X Have chimneys inspected and cleaned. X Arizona is an area prone to wood destroying insects (termites), have the home inspected by a licensed specialist. Preventative treatments may be recommended in some cases.

Basement, Foundation, Crawlspace & Structure 2.4. Heating 2.5. Cooling 2.6. Plumbing 2.7. Electrical 2.8. Fireplace 2.9. Attic & Insulation 2.10. Doors, Windows & Interior 3. Limitations, Exceptions & Exclusions 4. Glossary of Terms 1. Definitions and Scope 1.1. A Home Inspection is a non-invasive, visual examination of a residential dwelling, performed for a fee, which is designed to identify observed material defects within specific components of said dwelling. Components may include any combination of mechanical, structural, electrical, plumbing, or other essential systems or portions of the home, as identified and agreed to by the Client and Inspector, prior to the inspection process. I. A home inspection is intended to assist in evaluation of the overall condition of the dwelling. The inspection is based on observation of the visible and apparent condition of the structure and its components on the date of the inspection, and not the prediction of future conditions. II. A home inspection will not reveal every concern that exists or ever could exist, but only those material defects observed on the day of the inspection. III. A home inspection can include a survey and/or analysis of energy flows and usage in a residential property if the client requests it. 1.2. A Material Defect is a condition of a residential real property, or any portion of it, that would have a significant, adverse impact on the value of the real property, or that involves an unreasonable risk to people on the property. The fact that a structural element, system or subsystem is near, at or beyond the end of the normal useful life of such a structural element, system or subsystem is not by itself a material defect. 1.3. An Inspection Report shall describe and identify, in written format, the inspected systems, structures, and components of the dwelling, and shall identify material defects observed. Inspection reports may contain recommendations regarding conditions reported or recommendations for correction, monitoring or further evaluation by professionals, but this is not required.
