SCOPE OF WORK
'You have contracted with Summit Inspections to
perform a general property inspection in accordance with
the Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics establlshed by CREIA, (California Real Estate Inspection
Association), a copy of which has been supplied to the client, and which can be read or downloaded by
visiting the CREIA website at www.creia.org. Please refer to these standards and to our agreement form for
the scope and limitations of this inspection.
Our purpose is to identify property systems and components, and evaluate their condition. Conditions will
be reported as being either functional, informational, safety upgrade, or needing service. Functional does
not necessarily mean ideal, as our evaluation takes into account the age of the structure, system, or
component and allows for normal wear and tear. We do attempt to inform you of the approximate age of
components and if they are near or at the end of their expected lifespan. We inform you of safety hazards,
though certain construction issues considered hazardous and needing service for a newer home may be a
safety upgrade for an older home. As deemed prudent or necessary, we recommend further evaluation by
appropriate licensed specialists.
We use the terms left, right, front, rear, and center to describe locations within or around the dwelling,
relative from facing the entry side of the residence. We may also use compass directions, such as north,
south, etc. As a courtesy for more easily reading the report, we use colored print as follows: green is for
functional components, blue is for conditions needing service taking into account the age of the home, and
red is for various safety upgrades that were probably not required at the time of construction. All other print
is standard black. There will be overlap and differences of opinion regarding the interpretation of some
conditions and their color coding, so please do not rely strictly on the color or labeling of a condition. You
must also not rely solely on our summary report, which is provided as a courtesy for a quick overview only
of conditions we consider in need of service. The report must be read in its entirety. Digital photos are
included primarily for clarification of items not readily visible from walking around the property.
As our generalist inspection is essentially visual, and distinct from those of specialists, it does not include
the use of specialized instruments, the dismantling of equipment, destructive testing or laboratory analysis.
Consequently, a generalist inspection and its report will not be as comprehensive as that performed by
specialists, and it is not intended to be. We strongly encourage that any recommended repairs or further
evaluations by specialists be completed before the close of escrow, as additional detects may be revealed
and upgrades suggested.
There are many environmental contaminants that we do not have the expertise or the authority to test for,
such as lead, asbestos, radon, methane, formaldehyde, termites and other wood-destroying organisms,
pests and rodents, molds, microbes, bacterial organisms, and electromagnetic radiation, to name some of
the better known ones. Nevertheless, we will attempt to alert you to any suspicious substances that would
warrant evaluation by a specialist. However, you should also be aware that our use of terminology like
"mold," and "asbestos," is intentionally generic, and should not be construed as a statement of fact.
Regardless, health and safety, and environmental hygiene is a deeply personal responsibility, and you
should make sure that you are familiar with any contaminant that could affect your home environment, and
schedule any specialist inspections deemed prudent.
As a courtesy, we are including some commonplace information about several of the environmental
contaminants that could be of concern to you and your family.
Mold is one known contaminant. It is a microorganism that has been in existence throughout human history,
and actually contributes to the life process. It takes many different forms. Some characterized as aflergens
are relatively benign but can provoke allergic reactions among highly sensitive individuals, and others
characterized as pathogens can have adverse health effects on large segments of the population, such as
the very young, the elderly, and people with suppressed immune systems. However, there are less common
molds that are called toxigens that do represent a health threat. All molds flourish in the presence of
moisture, and we make a concerted effort to look for any evidence of it wherever there could be a water

source, including that from condensation. Interestingly, the molds that commonly appear on ceramic tiles in
bathrooms do not usually constitute a health threat, but they should be removed. However, some visibly
similar molds that form on cellulose materials, such as on drywail, plaster, and wood, are potentially
toxigenic. If mold is to be found anywhere within a home, it will likely be in the area of tubs, showers, toilets,
sinks, water heaters, evaporator coils, inside attics with unvented bathroom exhaust fans, and return-air
compartments that draw outside air, all of which are areas that we look at very closely. Nevertheless, mold
can appear as though spontaneously at anytime, so you should be prepared to monitor your home, and
particularly the areas that we have alluded to. Naturally, it is equally important to maintain clean air-supply
ducts and to change fitters as soon as they become soiled, because contaminated ducts are a common
breeding ground for dust mites, rust, and other contaminants. The specific identification of molds can only
be determined by specialists and laboratory analysis, and is absolutely beyond the scope of our inspection.
As an investment in environmental hygiene, you may decide it prudent to have your home tested for the
presence of any such contaminants, and particularly if you or any member of your family suffers from
allergies or asthma.
Asbestos is another contaminant that could be present in any home built before 1978. It is a naturally
occurring mineral fiber that was first used by Greek and Romans in the first century, and it has been widely
used throughout the modern world in a variety of thermal insulators, including those in the form of paper
wraps, batts, blocks, and blankets. However, it can also be found in a wide variety of other products too
numerous to mention, including dud insulation and acoustical materials, plasters, siding, floor tiles, heat
vents, and roofing products. Although perhaps recognized as being present in some documented forms,
asbestos can only be specifically identified by laboratory analysis. A single asbestos fiber is said to be able
to cause cancer, and is therefore a potential health threat and a litigious issue. Significantly, asbestos fibers
are only dangerous when they are released into the air and inhaled, and for this reason authorities such as
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)
distinguish between asbestos that is in good condition, or non-friable, and that which is in poor condition, or
friable, which means that its fibers could be
crumbled and become airborne. However, we are not
specialists and, regardless of the condition of any real or suspect asbestos-containing material (ACM), we
would not endorse it and you may wish to have suspect material evaluated by a specialist.
Radon is a gas that results from the natural decay of radioactive materials within the soil, and is purported to
be the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. The gas is able to enter homes through the
voids around pipes in concrete floors or through the floorboards of poorly ventilated crawispaces, and
particularly when the ground is wet and the gas cannot easily escape through the soil and into the
atmosphere. However, it cannot be detected by the senses, and its existence can only be determined by
sophisticated instruments and laboratory analysis. You can learn more about radon and other environmental
contaminants and their affects on health, by contacting the EPA or a similar state agency, and it would be
prudent for you to inquire about any high radon readings that might be prevalent in the region surrounding
your home.
Lead poses an equally serious health threat. In the 1920's it was commonly found in many plumbing
In fact, the word "plumbing" is derived from the Latin word
which means lead. When in
use as a component of a waste system, it does not constitute a viable health threat, but as a component of
potable water supply pipes it would certainly be a health-hazard. Although rarely found in use today, lead
could be present in any home build as recently as the nineteen forties, For instance, lead was an active
ingredient in many household paints, which can be released in the process of sanding, and even be
ingested by small children and animals chewing on painted surfaces. There are other environmental
contaminants, some of which we have already mentioned, and others that may be relatively benign.
However, we are not environmental hygienists, and as we stated earlier we disclaim any responsibIlity for
testing or establishing the presence of any environmental contaminant, and recommend that you schedule
whatever specialist inspections might be deemed prudent before the close of escrow,

Structural
Structures are not uniform, and conform to the standards of the year in which they were built or renovated,
We identify and describe the various foundation types, and the floor, wail, ceiling and roof structure, and
look for any evidence of structural deficiencies. We look closely for foundation cracks and related issues
and will alert you to their presence when they are visible, However, cracks or deteriorated surfaces in
foundations are quite common. In fact, it would be rare to find an older raised foundation wall that was not
cracked or deteriorated in sortie way, or a slab foundation that did not include some cracks concealed
beneath the finished floor coverings. Fortunately, most small cracks are related to the curing process,
common settling, or cold-joint separations caused by non-continuous concrete pouring. Larger cracks due
to poor quality concrete, severe settling, earth movement, or expansive type scil subject to variations in
moisture content can be more structurally significant. Though there is no absolute standard for evaluating
cracks, our guideline for referral to a foundation specialist are individual cracks 1/4" or wider, or a series of
cracks in a single linear section totaling 1/4 or wider, cracks that penetrate the entire wall and/or footing,
long horizontal and other unusual cracks. However, we are not specialists, and in the absence of any major
defects, we may not recommend that you consult with a foundation contractor, a structural engineer, ora
geologist, but this should not deter you from seeking the opinion of any such expert should you desire.
Addition or Major Remodel
A Probable Renovation or Addition
*
Informational Components
The residence appears to have been fully renovation (converted from an apartment building to
condominiums). There appears to be all new plumbing, electrical, heating and air conditioning, appliances,
etc. We recommend that you verify the permit and certificate of occupancy to help insure that the work
was done to accepted construction practices by a licensed contractor. In the absence of such a permit,
there is a greater chance that latent defects (ones not readily visible or currently apparent) could exist.
Multiple Living Units
Condominium Location
*
*
Our inspection of a condominium or townhouse is limited to the areas directly a part of that residence, and
does not include common areas (carport, driveway, walkways, etc.) which are the responsibility of the
homeowners! association (HOA). Often we are not able, or allowed, to access or report on the roof, an attic
if is not directly above and accessible, or the foundation if it is not directly below and accessible from the
residence inspected.
The condominium is on the first floor of a two-story complex.
The exterior and roofs of condominiums and townhouses are typically the responsibility of the homeowners'
association. Per request. this inspection excludes the exterior and roof, and is limited to the interior only.
Consult the pest control inspector's report for any issues with the wood siding and trim.
Reporting Format
*
Multiple unit structures are reported on as a whole, as many systems such as the foundation, exterior, roof
and attic are shared systems. Component information and concerns specific to each unit are reported on
within the general system sections of the report, as opposed to individual reports for each unit. Individual
units will be identified by their apartment number, #1 through #4. Units with identical or similar components
needing service will be listed by number within the relative component comment.
This report has been produced in accordance wfth or signed contact and is subject to the terms and conditions agreed upon therein.

Raised Foundation
*
General Comments
Raised foundations permit access, and provide a convenient area for the distribution of plumbing pipes,
conduits, and heating ducts. Raised foundations are far from uniform, but most include concrete
perimeter footings and walls that extend above the ground with anchor bolts that hold the house onto the
foundation, but the size and spacing of the bolts vaiy. Steel rods are embedded within the walls for
strength. Interior floors are typically supported by individual piers and posts, or by concrete interior stem
walls, which in turn support the floor girders and/or joists. In the absence of major cracks or defects, most
structural engineers agree that the one critical issue is that the structure should be bolted to the fcundtion.
Our inspection of these foundations conforms to industry standards, which is that of a generalist and not a
specialist, and we do not use any speciahzed instruments to establish that the structure is level.
Significantly, many foundations are built or move out of level, but the average person may not become
aware of this until there is a difference of more than one inch in twenty feet, which most authorities regard
as being tolerable. We typically enter all accessible areas to confirm that foundations are bolted and to look
for any evidence of structural deformation or damage, but we may not comment on minor deficiencies, such
as on commonplace settling cracks in the stem walls and slight deviations from plumb and level in the
intermediate floor framing, which are difficult to observe and would have little structural significance. We
also inspect and report on ventilation. underfloor insulation, and inadequate separation of wood framing
members from soil.
Description of Foundation Type
The foundation is a poured concrete raised perimeter with visible anchor bolts.
Access & Method of Evaluation
*
The foundation can be accessed at the rear bedroom closet.
There is above average and ample height in the crawlspace.
Components Needing Se,vice
U
The access opening is somewhat substandard size by current standards. Current minimal opening size is to
be 18" X 24", and without additional obstructions. An opening larger than the current one appears present
within the same closet, but is covered over by the carpet.

Foundation Walls
Fvnctionai Components
o
The visible foundation walls appear to be in overall acceptable condition. Sample photo to follow.
*
Minor amounts of white mineral deposits (efflorescence) are present at the interior of the front and left side
foundation walls and soil. Efflorescence occurs when moisture passes through material and transfers
mineral salts to the surface, and is a common occurrence. Sample photo to follow.

Typical small vertical cracks (approximately 1/32' to 1(16' wide) at the center front perimeter foundation
wah are present which should not affects its structural integrity. Photo to follow of widest crack.
Crawlspace
Functional Components
o
The foundation crawlspace and its components are in
acceptable condition.
o
The crawlspace soils are dry throughout with little or no signs of moisture intrusion.
*
The soils appear to be a clay-based expansive type. When wet, they absorb moisture and expand; when
dry they contract. The expansion and contraction can be sufficient enough to move interior concrete pier
blocks as well as move and even crack perimeter foundation walls, resulting in a variety of interior issues as
well. Floors can become uneven, wall coverings can crack, door and windows can stick or not operate
properly, etc. Consistent moisture content of the soils is advisable, and dry soils are always preferable to
wet soils. Photo to follow of dried and cracked soil.
*
Cable wires are laying on soils in the crawlspace (a extremely typical finding), rather than being properly
secured to the floor framing. We are very careful when crawling under the house and make every effort not
to disturb connections, but we cannot be responsible for improperly installed wiring. Sample photo to
follow.

Cripple Walls
No cripple walls are present. Cripple waDs refer to framed sections between the top of the concrete
foundation and the floor, and are generally present with most step-down" foundations on slopes and where
the foundation does not extend fully to the floor joists.
Ventilation
o
The sub area ventilation is adequate and plenziful.
Floor Insulation
*
•
There is no floor insulation, which is what would be expected for the age of this residence. Newer
construction would typically require approx[mately 6" of insulation under the floors.
Firewall
Safety Upgrade Components
The openings to adjacent unit crawispaces are considered a breach in the firewall for individual unit
construction (but not for apartment buildings). Adjacent individual units should be protected by a fire rated
assembly, such as fire-rated sheetrock of proper thickness. Per building construction manager on site, the
Firewall installations were not required for the conversions (though were for the interiors and attics). Consult
the local juiisdiction having authority if further information or verification is desired. A positive result is that
there is increased crawispace ventilation. Photo to follow.
Structural Elements
Lower Floor Structure
*
The floor structure consists of concrete piers supporting wood posts, girders and joists sheathed with
plywood.
Upper Floor Structure
The upper floor structure most likely includes conventional and/or engineered lumber sheathed with
plywood, though upper floor framing is typically not visible.

Wall Structure
The walls appear to be conventionally framed with wooden studs.
Ceiling & Roof Structure
We have no means of inspecting the ceiling or roof structure (for the upper unit). Consult the HOA for this
information if desired.
Plumbing
Plumbing systems have common components, but they are not uniform. In addition to fixtures, these
components include gas pipes, potable water pipes, drain and vent pipes, shut-off valves (which we do not
test if they are not in daily use), pressure regulators, pressure relief valves, and water-heating devices. The
best and most dependable water supply pipes over the last 30-40 years are copper (60-80 year life
expectancy), because they are not subject to the build-up of minerals that bond within galvanized pipes
(30-60 year life expectancy), and gradually restrict their inner diameter and reduce water volume. Water
softerters can remove most of these minerals, but once they are bonded within the pipes there would be no
remedy other than a re-pipe, though new techniques are being developed. The water pressure within pipes
is commonly confused with water volume, but whereas high water volume is good, high water pressure is
not. in fact, wtienever the street pressure exceeds eighty pounds per square inch a pressure reducing
regulator is recommended, which typically comes factory preset around sixty-five pounds per square inch.
However, regardless of the pressure, leaks will occur in any system, and particularly in one with older
galvanized pipes, or one in which the regulator fails and high pressure begins to stress the washers and
diaphragms within the various components. A variety of plastic supply pipes have also been used, some
currently and some no longer in use. One should always consult with the local building department for
approval of the use of any type of piping or other materials falling under their jurisdiction.
Waste and drainpipes pipes are equally varied, and range from modern acrylonitrfle butadiene styrene
(ABS) ones to older ones made of cast-iron, galvanized steel, clay, or a cardboard-like material that is
coated with tar. The condition of these pipes is usually directly related to their age. Older ones are subject to
damage through decay arid root movement, whereas the more modern ABS ones are virtually impervious to
damage, although isolated batches of them have been alleged to be defective. However, inasmuch as
significant portions of drainpipes are concealed, we can often only infer their condition by observing the
draw at drains. Nonetheless, blockages will occur in the life of any system, and we recommend that you
consult with the seller for any such history, particularly in main drain lines, which you may wish to have
video-scanned. This could also confirm that the house is connected to the public sewer system, which is
important because all private systems must be evaluated by specialists before the close of escrow. Failing
this, you may wish to obtain an insurance policy that covers blockages and damage to the main drain line.
We evaluate fixtures and water pipes by operating every accessible hose bib and active fixtures at sinks,
showers, and bathtubs. We test for proper configuration of hot and cold water valves and functional water
flow. We evaluate drains by running water through every active fixture drain while observing their draw and
watching for slow drainage or blockages. We also look for leaks at all visible portions of the drainage
system, and attempt to verify proper venting, drain pipe slope, etc.
As with many building components, significant portions of the plumbing pipes are often not visible.

eventually leak. Accordingly, it is always wise to have them installed over a drain pan with a discharge pipe
plumbed to the exterior. The water temperature should be set at a minimum of 110 degrees Fahrenheit to
kill microbes and a maximum of 140 degrees to prevent scalding (a maximum of 120 degrees is
recommended for small children). Water heaters with storage tanks can be dangerous if they are not
seismically secured and equipped with either a pressure/temperature relief valve and discharge pipe
plumbed to the exterior, or a Watts 210 gas shut-off valve for gas water heaters. These features are
mandatory.
Age & Capacity
*
Hot water is provided by a new, 40 gallon electric water heater that is located in the halt closet which also
serves the laundry.
Electrical Connections
o
The electrical
to the water heater appears to be in acceptable condilion.
Water Shut-Off Valve and Connectors
o
The shut-off valve and water connectors on the water heater are present and appear to be functional,
though we do not operate shut-off valves.
Pressure Release Valve and Discharge Pipe
o
The water heater is equipped with a mandated temperature-pressure (TPR) relief valve and discharge pipe.
Seismic Straps
o
The water heater is seismically secured according to the inspector's interpretation of the California State
Architect's requirements. Local jurisdictions may have different regulations and/or less stringent
enforcement standards. Water heaters up to 50 gallon capacity must be strapped in the upper and lower
third with proper materials and methods. An additional strap may be required for each additional 26 gallons.
Strap fasteners into solid framing are to be lag screws a minimum of 114" diameter by 3" long, and blocking
at the wall may be necessary to hold the healer rigid in place. Manufacturer's specifications must be met.

Electrical
There are a wide variety of electrical systems with an even greater variety of components, and any one
particular system may not conform to current standards or provide the same degree of service and safety.
As with many building components, most electrical wiring is enclosed within walls or flooring and no longer
visible. Regardless, we are not speciatists, and in compliance with industry standards we inspect the
service equipment and the interior of accessible electrical panels, but we do not perform cad-calculations to
determine if the supply meets the demand. We test a representative sample of accessible lights, switches
and outlets, but do not remove cover plates. We will also not inspect accessory or auxiliary electrical or
wiring systems, such as security systems. intercoms, low-voltage wiring, photovoltaics, generators or other
backup power supply, fixtures or components not immediately at or adjacent to the residence or primary
parking structure. However, we regard every electrical deficiency and recommended upgrade as a potential
safety-hazard that should be serviced and certified as safe by a specialist. Therefore, it is essential that any
recommendations that we may make for service or upgrades should be completed within the inspection
period, or before the close of escrow, because a specia!ist codd reveal additional deficiencies or
recommend further upgrades.
Main Panel
*
*
*
Genera] Comments
National safety standards require exterior electrical supply panels to be weatherproof, readily accessible,
and have a minimum of thirty-six inches of clear space in front of them for service. Also, they should have a
main disconnect if there are more than six fuses or breakers, and each circuit within the panel should be
clearly labeled.
Size and Location
Infotmational Components
The residence is served by a 125 amp, 240 voit main electrical supply panel tocated at the left side of the
building.
The main panel only houses the electric meter and main disconnect breaker to the interior subpanef. The
numbering system for the main panel breakers to the individual condominiums correspond to prior
apartment numbers, not the new numbering system. Per manager, this unit is labeled #25, but new
numbering is to be applied.
Type of Wiring
*
The residence is wired with a three-wire non-metallic copper cable commonly known as grounded Romex.
Grounding
*
Consult the
for the main electrical grounding information.
Bonding Connection
*
Some jurisdictions require that both the hot and cold water pipes as well as the gas pipe be connected with a
wire (via proper wire cramps) to equalize voltage differential from potential errant electrical current that may
come into contact with the metal pipe systems (which easily conduct electricity). This is referred to as
"bonding" together of the metal pipe conductors, and is typically accomplished at the water heater or the
utility systems entrance to the residence. Other jurisdictions do not require or even recommend that the gas
pipe be included. Consult your local jurisdiction for their requirements.
Safety Upgrade Components
+
No electrical bonding wire was verified connecting the hot and cold water pipes and the gas pipe. We
recommend that this safety requirement be verified or installed by a licensed electrician.
This report has been produced in accordance with our signed contract and is subject tc the temis and

Sub Panel #1
Size and Location
*
The residence is served by a 125 amp! 240 volt sub panel, located in the living room to hallway walJ.
Sub Panel
o
We removed the sub panel cover, inspected its components, and found no visible deficiencies.
Probable Addition
*
The electrical subpanel panel is not an original installation, as it is a new panel.
Circuit Breakers
*
An arc-fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) is required for new construction for all bedroom outlets. An AFCI
breaker is present at the subpanel, though it was not manually tested to verify that power was interrupted to
the bedroom outlets (it is recommended that this be done periodically by the occupant to insure proper
function). A sensor in the breaker trips off the power when an electrical arc, usually caused by a loose
wiring connection, is detected. Arcing can create heat build-up and potential fire, so is currently required in
those rooms designated for sleeping.
Heat-NC
The components of most heating and air-conditioning systems have a design-life ranging from ten to twenty
years, dependent on the climate zone, but can fail prematurely with poor maintenance. Heating and air
conditioning systems should be inspected periodically and maintained on a regular basis, such as cleaning
of filters, compartments, coils, etc. The air conditioning system in particular is one of the most poorly
maintained household systems, resulting in inefficiency and excessive wear and tear on its components.
Systems within five years of their expected lifespan will be noted as near the end of their lifespan. We test
and evaluate heating and air-conditioning systems in accordance with industry standards, which means that
we do not attempt to dismantle any portion of them, or evaluate the following concealed components: the
heat exchanger, or firebox, electronic air-cleaners, humidifiers, and in-line duct motors or dampers. We will
attempt to view fully accessible heat exchangers, but a thorough, tear-down inspection can only be
performed by an HVAC specialist. We inspect the heating and cooling equipment, energy source
connections, combustion air, exhaust vents, condensation drains and distribution systems. You should also
be aware that we do not operate any unvented heating devices lhat utilize fossil fuels, as well as wood or
solid fuel burning devices, the presence of which sometimes confirms the inadequacy of the primary heating
system. However, these and every other fuel burning appliances that are not vented are potentially
hazardous. They can include open flames or heated elements, which are capable of igniting any of the
myriad flammable materials found in the average home. Also, even the most modern of these appliances
can produce carbon monoxide, which in a sealed or poorly ventilated room can result in sickness,
debilitating injury, and even death. We perform a conscientious evaluation of heating and air-conditioning
systems, but we are not specialists. Therefore, it is imperative that any recommendation that we may make
for service or a second opinion be scheduled within the inspection period, or before the close of escrow,
because a specialist could reveal additional defects or recommend further upgrades that could affect your
evaluation of the property, and our service does not include any form of warranty or guarantee.

*
Type of Fuel
The residence is served by electrically fueled heating and air conditioning systems.
Package System Age and Location
O
Heat and air-conditioning to the living room and surrounding open areas is provided by a package system
located in the front living room waD. It is new and has an approximate heating capacity of 11,000 BTL) and
an approximate cooling capacity of 1 ton. Both modes of the unit were operated and appear to be
functioning. The unit may or may not be sufficient to provide heated or cooled air to the bedrooms and
bath room.
Heat only fan assisted wall units are present and functional in each of the bedrooms only.
Living
Our inspection of the general living space includes the living, dining, family rooms, etc. We visually inspect
(without the use of a ladder) the accessible areas of walls, ceilings, floors, closets, permanently installed
cabinets, presence or absence of smoke detectors, and we operate all ceiling fans and a representative
number of windows, doors, lights, switches and cutlets. We identify window types and materials, but we do
not evaluate window treatments, or move furniture, lift carpets or rugs, empty closets or cabinets, or
comment on cosmetic deficiencies. We may comment on the cracks that appear around windows and
doors, or which follow the lines of framing members and the seams of drywall and plasterboard. These
cracks are a consequence of movement, such as wood shrinkage, common settling, and seismic activity,
and will often reappear if they are not correctly repaired. Significant cracks car become the subject of
disputes, and are best evaluated by a specialist. Similarly, there are a number of environmental pollutants,
such as asbestos, radon, lead-based paints, mold, etc., the identification of which is beyond the scope of our
service. However, there are a host of lesser contaminants, such as odors that are typically caused by
moisture penetration, smoke, or household pets. Inasmuch as the sense of smell adjusts rapidly, and
sensitivity to such odors is not uniform, we recommend that you make this determination for yourself, and
particularly if any occupant suffers from asthma or allergies, and then schedule whatever remedial service
you deem necessary before the close of escrow.

General Kitchen Comments
We test built-in kitchen appliances, including dishwashers, for their functionaflty, but cannot evaluate them
for their performance nor for the variety of their settings or cycles. However, if they are older than ten years,
they may well exhibit decreased efficiency. Regardless, we do not inspect the following items: portable
appliances such as refrigerators, microwaves, coffee makers, blenders, etc., built-in toasters, instant
hot-water dispensers, water-purifiers, barbecues, grills, or rotisseries, timers, clocks, thermostats, the
self-clearing capacity of ovens, and concealed or countertop lighting, which is convenient but often installed
after the initial construction and powered by extension cords or ungrounded conduits.
The kitchen appliances are all new as expected.

General Laundry Room Comments
*
In accordance with industry standards, we do not test clothes diyers or washing machines. We will verify
that a gas supply or 240 volt outlet is present (and functioning if possible) for the dryer, and visually inspect
washer water connections for leaks and the presence of a drainpipe and vent whenever possible. You
should be aware that modem washing machines discharge a greater volume of water than many of the older
drainpipes (less The
diameter) can handle, which may cause the water to back up and overflow. The only
remedy for this is to enlarge the drainpipe or install a washing machine with lower water usage.
Exhaust Fan
o
The exhaust Ian in the laundry area is functional.

Report #71030, San Jose, CA 95118
Thank you for having us inspect this property. We are proud of our service, and trust that you will be happy
with the quality of our report. We have made every effort to provide you with an accurate assessment of the
condition of the property and its components and to alert you to any significant defects or adverse
conditions. However, we may not have tested every ouUel, and opened every window and door, or identified
every minor defect. Also, because we are not specialists and our inspection is essentially visual, latent
defects could exist. Therefore, you should not regard our inspection as conferring a guarantee or warranty. It
does not. It is simply a report on the general condition of the property at a given point in time. Furthermore,
as a homeowner, you should expect problems to occur. Roofs may leak, drain lines will become blocked,
and components and systems will fail without warning. For these reasons, you should take into consideration
the age of the house and its components and keep a comprehensive insurance policy current. If you have
been provided with a home protection policy, read it carefully. Some policies may only cover insignificant
costs, such as that of rooter service, and the representatives of some insurance companies may deny
coverage on the grounds that a given condition was preexisting or not covered because of a code violation
or manufacturer defect. Therefore, you should read such policies very carefully, and depend upon our
company and your real estate representative for any consultation that you may need.
Inasmuch as we never knowwho will be occupying or visiting a property. whether it be children or the
elderly, we ask you to consider following these general safety recommendations: install smoke and carbon
monoxide detectors; identify all escape and rescue ports; rehearse an emergency evacuation of the home;
upgrade older electrical systems by at least adding ground-fault outlets in recommended locations; never
service any electrical eçuipment without first disconnecUng its power source; safety-film all non-tempered
glass in recommended locations; ensure that every elevated window and the railings of stairs, landings,
balconies, and decks are child-safe; regulate the temperature of water heaters to prevent scalding; make
sure that goods that contain caustic or poisonous compounds, such as bleach, drain cleaners, and nail
polish removers be stored where small children cannot reach them; ensure that all garage doors are well
balanced and have a safety device, particularly if they are the heavy wooden type; remove any
double-cylinder deadbo!ts from exterior doors; and consider installing child-safe locks or alarms on the
exterior doors of all pool or spa properties.
Thank you for taking the time to read this report, and please call us if you have any questions or
observations whatsoever. We are always attempting to improve the quality of our service and our report,
and we will continue to adhere to the highest standards of the industry and to treat everyone with kindness,
courtesy, and respect.
Sincerely,
