1. RoofThe roof inspection portion of the General Home Inspection will not be as comprehensive as an inspection performed by a qualified roofingcontractor. Because of variations in installation requirements of the huge number of different roof-covering materials installed over the years, theGeneral Home Inspection does not include confirmation of proper installation. Home Inspectors are trained to identify common deficiencies and torecognize conditions that require evaluation by a specialist. Inspection of the roof typically includes visual evaluation of the roof structure, roof-covering materials, flashing, and roof penetrations like chimneys, mounting hardware for roof-mounted equipment, attic ventilation devices, ducts forevaporative coolers, and combustion and plumbing vents. The roof inspection does not include leak-testing and will not certify or warranty the roofagainst future leakage. Other limitations may apply and will be included in the comments as necessary.

Method of inspection::Walked the roof
The roof style was::GableHip
Primary roof-covering type::Concrete Roof Tile

Items
1.0 Roof Structure ExteriorComments: Inspected
The Inspector inspected the roof and its components by walking the roof. The home had a combination of hipand gable roof. The roof appeared to be sheathed with 7/16-inch plywood. The roof pitch (slope) wasapproximately 6&12. The inspector observed few deficiencies in the condition of the roof structure exterior.Notable exceptions will be listed in this report.
The roof was installed in 2004 which makes this roof 16 years old. The Concrete tile appear to have beeninstalled over granulated cap sheet material to provide better leak protection. The estimated life expectancy ofa Concrete Tiled roof is 25 years. So, this roof still has approximately 9 years of remaining life. The steep slopeassociated with this roof allows the water to run off well to minimizing water ponding and risk of damage to roofdeck. Inspector found widespread number of cracked tiles, loose or misaligned tiles, and exposedunderlayment.

(1) The roof had granulated cap sheet material installed beneath the roof covering material. Granulated capsheet material is designed to provide better leak protection. There are several areas of exposed cap sheet.Most of the underlayment was hidden beneath roof-covering materials and was not inspected. Exposedunderlayment can deteriorate faster and damage can occur if left exposed for long periods of time. Theunderlayment was inspected in representative areas only.

1.6 Concrete TileComments: Inspected, Repair/Replace
1.5 Item 7(Picture)
The roof was covered with concrete tiles. The roof had cracked and/or broken concrete roof tiles that should bereplaced to help prevent damage from moisture intrusion to the home materials, the roof structure and toprevent development of microbial growth such as mold. The tile roof had a number of misaligned tiles.Misaligned tiles are more vulnerable to breakage that properly aligned tiles. Roof tiles that had no fastenersinstalled have slipped downhill. Roof ridge and hip cap tiles were loose, displaced, or missing at the time of theinspection. This condition appeared to be due to failed mortar bond, which means that the mortar bondingridge cap tiles to the roof is weak. The Inspector recommends that before the expiration of your InspectionObjection Deadline you consult with a qualified contractor to discuss options and costs for repairs. TheInspector recommends an evaluation and any necessary work be performed by a qualified roofing contractor.

4. Thermal ImagingThe thermal imaging camera is a tool I use in performing the General Home Inspection. Its use does not constituent a full thermographic inspection.Thermal imaging cameras detect radiation in the infrared spectrum, showing differences in temperature. Their ability to detect defects or deficienciesvaries with conditions. Conditions identified by thermal imaging may need to be confirmed using other means, possibly including invasive methods,which would require the permission of the homeowner.
The Inspector is not liable in any way for any damage or any loss relating to the use of thermal imaging equipment during the inspection or thequality/accuracy of information provided by thermal images included in the report.
