General Interior Note 1. General NotesMaterials: Windows in the home are Double pane insulated glass windows. Any deficiencies arenoted in each room section for accessible windows • Doors in the home are considered operationalunless otherwise noted in each room sectionObservations:• Some of the windows throughout the house have failed glass pane seals. Windows get theirinsulating value by trapping air between two well-sealed panes of glass. Some insulated windowsare actually filled with argon gas which provides a higher insulating value. When the seals break,moist air enters the space and causes fogging of the glass.

GlossaryGlossary

Term DefinitionExpansion Tank An expansion tank or expansion vessel is a small tank used to

protect closed (not open to atmospheric pressure) water heatingsystems and domestic hot water systems from excessivepressure. The tank is partially filled with air, whosecompressibility cushions shock caused by water hammer andabsorbs excess water pressure caused by thermal expansion.

GFCI A special device that is intended for the protection of personnelby de-energizing a circuit, capable of opening the circuit wheneven a small amount of current is flowing through the groundingsystem.

TPR Valve The thermostat in a water heater shuts off the heating sourcewhen the set temperature is reached. If the thermostat fails, thewater heater could have a continuous rise in temperature andpressure (from expansion of the water). The temperature andpressure could continue to rise until the pressure exceeds thepressure capacity of the tank (300 psi). If this should happen, thesuper-heated water would boil and expand with explosive force,and the tank would burst. The super-heated water turns to steamand turns the water heater into an unguided missile. To preventthese catastrophic failures, water heaters are required to beprotected for both excess temperature and pressure. Usually, themeans of protection is a combination temperature- and pressure-relief valve (variously abbreviated as T&P, TPV, TPR, etc.). Mostof these devices are set to operate at a water temperature above200° F and/or a pressure above 150 psi. Do not attempt to testthe TPR valve yourself! Most water heating systems should beserviced once a year as a part of an annual preventivemaintenance inspection by a professional heating and coolingcontractor.

Please review all pages of the report as the summary alone does not explain all of theissues. All repairs should be done by a licensed & bonded tradesman or qualified professional. Irecommend obtaining a copy of all receipts, warranties and permits for the work done.RoofPage 11 Item: 1 Roof Condition • Roof anchor weather boots are missing. There is or has

been slight leakage in the attic (see attic photos).Recommend further investigation and corrections.

Attic 1Page 14 Item: 4 Fan/Duct • One bathroom fan does not exhaust completely to the

exterior. Typically piping should actually connect to exteriorvent, recommend correction. This condition can result inmold/fungal growth.

Hall Bathroom1Page 31 Item: 9 Sinks • Drain line leaks under sink. Recommend conditions are

repaired.GaragePage 35 Item: 1 Condition • Drywall has been replaced near water heater and furnace

area. Needs fire tape. Breach of fire protection. Recommendfurther investigation and corrections. Appears to have been aplumbing repair made at water heater.

Plumbing/Water Heater1Page 39 Item: 3 Age • Water heater in excess of 12 years and has exceeded useful

life span, recommend monitoring or replacement.Page 40 Item: 4 Condition • Seismic straps are not in place/ improperly installed.

Normally there should be seismic straps installed at the upperand lower one thirds of the tank.
