Dear John Mello,

RE: Report No. 1003, v.08763 Red Wagon RoadStillwater, OR74074

Thank you for choosing Big Creek Home Inspection Services, LLC to perform your home inspection. The inspectionitself and the attached report comply with the requirements of the Oregon Standards of Practice, the InterNACHIStandards of Practice, and the ASHI Standards of Practice. This document defines the scope of a home inspection.

Clients sometimes assume that a home inspection will include many things that are beyond the scope. We encourageyou to read the Standards of Practice so that you clearly understand what things are included, and what are excluded, inthe home inspection and report.

We recognize that getting a home inspection as part of your due diligence may be a bit nerve racking. Some may thinkthat the home inspection will give them peace of mind only to find out that there is a lot of information to try andunderstand in a short period of time. So now what? Take a deep breath and read through the entire report. Most of therecommendations or comments are typically focused on maintenance items, the lifespan of components and minorissues. All of these are good for you to know and understand as you work through your decision making process.Hopefully these items allow you to plan for future expenses or decide how much work you may choose to take on if youproceed.

Items that we believe warrant your close attention and follow up will be identified in two categories. These are MajorFunctional Defects and Safety Defects. A Major Functional Defect may be things that impact the livability of the home.These items may include structural problems, water leaks, or electrical issues. Safety Defects are items that may pose arisk of injury to the occupants. These items may be GFCI outlets that are not working correctly, missing or malfunctioningsafety devices, serious electrical issues, or things that may pose a risk of fire. In these cases we recommend the itemsare corrected by qualified professionals. Often times these may not be expensive but if not corrected may lead to moreserious problems or injuries.

The report has been prepared for the exclusive use of our client. No use by third parties is intended. We will not beresponsible to any parties for the contents of the report, other than the party named herein .

The report is effectively a snapshot of the house, recording the conditions on a given date and time. Home inspectorscannot predict future behavior, and as such, we cannot be responsible for things that occur after the inspection. If

conditions change, we are available to revisit the property and update our report.

The report itself is copyrighted, and may not be used in whole or in part without our express written permission.

Again, thanks very much for choosing us to perform your home inspection.

activities that are injurious to the welfare of the public, which result in injury or damage to another person.

(b) Disclose any information about the results of an inspection without the approval of the client for whom the inspection was undertaken.

(c) Accept compensation or any other consideration from more than one interested party for the same service without the consent of all interested parties.

(d) Directly or indirectly compensate realty agents, or other parties having a financial interest in closing or settlement of real estate transactions, for the referral of inspections or for inclusion on a list of recommended inspectors, preferred providers or similar arrangements. This paragraph is not intended to prohibit any discount, credit or add-on service made directly to an inspector’s client.

(e) Accept financial or other consideration, such as material or equipment, from suppliers for suggesting the use of, or promoting a specific product in the course of performing an inspection.

(f) Accept compensation, directly or indirectly, for recommending contractors, services, or products to inspection clients or other parties having an interest in inspected properties.

(h) Express, within the context of an inspection, an appraisal or opinion of the market value of the inspected property.

(i) Allow his or her interest in any business to affect the quality or results of inspection work that the Oregon certified home inspector may be called upon to undertake.

(j) Misrepresent any matters to the public. (2) Opinions expressed by Oregon certified home inspectors

shall only be based on their education, experience, and physical evidence observed by the inspector.

(3) Before the execution of a contract to undertake a home inspection, an Oregon certified home inspector shall disclose to the client any interest in a business that may affect the client.

(4) Nothing in OAR 812-008-0201 shall prohibit a business offering home inspection services from advertising services or for the purpose of recruiting employees and personnel. All such advertisements shall not be misleading or deceptive. A business shall not advertise home inspection services unless the business is properly licensed.

812-008-0202 - Contracts and Reports

(1) Home inspections undertaken according to division 8 shall be based solely on the property conditions, as observed at the time of the home inspection.

(2) Oregon certified home inspectors shall: (a) Provide a written inspection contract, signed by both the

Oregon certified home inspector and client, prior to completing a home inspection that shall:

(A) State that the home inspection is in accordance with standards and practices set forth in division 8 of OAR chapter 812;

(B) Describe the services provided and their cost; (C) State where the planned inspection differs from the

standard home inspection categories as set forth in OAR 812-008-0205 through 812-008-0214; and

0205 through 812-008-0214 and indicate whether or not the property inspected was satisfactory with regard to each item of inspection; it will not be sufficient to satisfy subsection (2)(c) of this rule that the certified home inspector prepare a report listing only deficiencies;

(C) State whether any inspected systems or components do not function as intended, allowing for normal wear and tear; and how, if at all, the habitability of the dwelling is affected;

(D) State the inspector’s recommendation to monitor, evaluate, repair, replace or other appropriate action;

(E) State the Construction Contractors Board license number of the business and the name, certification number and signature of the person undertaking the inspection; and

Oregon Home Inspection Consumer Notice This Notice is provided to you in accordance with (OAR 812-008-0202(2)(d)

?

Who needs to be certified? Oregon law requires individuals who bid, offer to perform or perform home inspections of two or more categories below, to be certified by the Oregon Construction Contractors Board (CCB). Plumbing Electrical Exterior and site Roofing Central Air Conditioning Interiors Structural Insulation and Ventilation Heating Built-in Kitchen Appliances Individuals must pass a comprehensive test to become certified and must complete continuing education courses to renew the certification.

Is a CCB license required?? Businesses that perform home inspections must be licensed with the CCB as a Residential General, Residential

Specialty Contractor or a Home Inspection Services Contractor. The bond and liability insurance amounts will

correspond accordingly. Licensing and certification do not guarantee quality of work. Licensing offers some

financial protection for you, the customer.

How do I check a Home inspector? To check a home inspection business, get the business’ CCB license number and the home inspector certification

number (OCHI). Visit us on-line at www.oregon.gov/CCB or call 503-378-4621 to verify the license and certification

are active.

What should I know about a Home inspection? 1. Home inspections are performed for the individual who contracted for the inspection. They may not be

used or relied on by others. (Example: a home buyer may not use or rely on an inspection report that was

contracted by the home’s seller). 2. Home inspectors are governed by Standards of Practice and Behavior that list what a home inspector can

and can’t do. OAR 812-008-0200 - OAR 812-008-0214. 3. A written contract is required of all home inspections. Contracts should be read carefully as they may

contain arbitration clause or a clause that limits the inspector’s liability.

How can the CCB help? The CCB provides consumer protection and regulates the home inspection industry. If you have a problem with

your licensed home inspection businesses, the CCB may be able to help.

You may file a complaint with the Construction Contractors Board against the licensed business if: 1. There is a direct contract between you and the licensee and, 2. It’s been within one year from the time the inspection was performed.

Complaints filed against unlicensed businesses or home inspection businesses using uncertified individuals to perform inspections are sent to the CCB’s Enforcement Section, but will probably not result in direct benefit to the complainant.

How can you reach the CCB?
