HELP CONCEALED AREAS If areas of the home are inaccessible or concealed from the inspector's view, then an inspection of that area did not take place. 1) Request that any information about any hidden problems be revealed to you about these inaccessible or hidden areas from the seller prior to closing the transaction. 2) return to the property prior to closing the transaction and perform a walkthrough inspection of your own after the owner's belongings have been removed. 3) If your inspection or information reveals hidden damage or concerns contact a qualified specialist or your inspector for a return visit. BUILDING CODE VIOLATIONS If you are concerned about code violations or building permit information you should: 1) Contract with this company to research permit information available at the appropriate building and safety office. 2) If you have additional concerns with regard to code violations you may contract for a code compliance survey of the property. A typical home inspection is not such a service. ZONING ORDINANCE VIOLATIONS If you have additional concerns with regard to zoning violations you may contact the zoning department of your local building and safety office. GEOLOGICAL STABILITY Soil condition or stability is not determined during this home inspection. Should you decide to obtain a geological report of the site conditions you might contact a geological inspection firm through your real estate agent or a non profit association of geotechnical engineers for referral. STRUCTURAL STABILITY OR ENGINEERING ANALYSIS Engineering analysis of a building’s structure is performed only by a licensed structural engineer with the use of measurements, calculations or other scientific evaluation. Engineering is beyond the scope of a typical home inspection. To receive an inspection and report on the structure by an engineer ask your real estate agent or a non profit association of structural engineers for referral. BUILDING VALUE APPRAISAL For a property value appraisal contact your bank/ lender or real estate agent for referral to a licensed/qualified real estate appraiser. COST ESTIMATES Should the inspection reveal systems or components within the building which warrant repairs; 1) contact two or more qualified repairpersons to evaluate the items and provide you with written repair proposals 2) verify that the repair proposals are complete and address any items that may be hidden by walls, floors/ carpet, etc. 3) verify that the repairperson is licensed and carries appropriate insurance if the repair job is performed 4) ask for all receipts and warranties provided by the repair person. POOL AND SPA BODIES This inspection does not include evaluation of pool or spa bodies below the water line of the pool. For further assistance and inspection we recommend contacting a licensed pool contractor or ask the seller if you may discuss the pool or spa with the maintenance company (if any) that the seller has used to clean and service the pool or spa. SAUNAS AND STEAMBATHS For operating and maintenance information about saunas or steam baths contact the seller or installer, Additional information may be obtained by contacting a licensed contractor specializing in these systems. RADIO CONTROLLED DEVICES Numerous devices in homes that are operated with remote controls are not within the scope of this inspection. For information about these devices we first suggest that you obtain a list of all the remote controls from the seller. (The operation of the overhead garage door automatic opener will be tested using the permanent control button provided in the house or garage.) Many radio controlled devices have changeable codes which you may want to consider altering for your use or safety. You may contact the installer or manufacturer for additional information and evaluation.

Page 20: Home Inspection Definition, Limited Liability and Fee ... · A. Home Inspection Definition According to nationally accepted standards, a Home Inspection is defined as a limited, non-invasive

HELP WATER SOFTENER If a water softener system is instated in the home it will be evaluated for Leaks only. You should find out from the seller whether the system is rented from a commercial company or if it is owned by the seller. If rented, find out which company provides the service and what fees are required. If owned, request that the seller provide information on operation and maintenance. SOLAR SYSTEMS Solar systems are not evaluated for efficiency, operation or correct installation during this inspection. The visible equipment and piping will be inspected for leaks. Many factors need to be considered with regard to solar systems such as but not limited to: placement, attachment and orientation to the sun. Complete evaluation should be performed by a licensed contractor who specializes in solar systems. REFRIGERATOR Most refrigerators typically move with the owners from one house to another as does personal property. Additionally, free standing appliances often are removed, it is recommended that you receive a list from the seller of all the items that will convey with the property. If you are concerned about the operation or condition of any item listed and not covered in the inspection report then an independent evaluation of that item should be ordered by you. SMOKE DETECTORS Specific requirements governing the installation of smoke detectors can be obtained from the local Department of Building and Safety with regard to the type and placement within the home. Our inspection of the smoke detector(s) in this home was only to verify presence. ALARM SYSTEMS When an alarm system is installed in a home you should gather the following information: 1) how to activate and disarm the system, 2) exactly what sections of the home is protected and by what methods, 3) what company {if any) provides service for the system and terms of that service and 4) whether or not the system operates correctly {an inspection and test can be performed by the alarm company). This system is not part of this home inspection. SEWER BLOCKAGE Check with the seller for information and the history of the house sewer system. Having a drain service company service the main tine to be sure it is open and flowing is good advice also. FURNACES AND AIR CONDITIONERS Servicing of these two major systems is often overlooked and when neglected can damage the components. Placing the furnace and air conditioner on a service contract with a reputable licensed heating, air conditioning contractor is strongly recommended. Seasonal service is critical for proper performance. UNDERGROUND DRAINS Underground drain lines are not filled and tested during this inspection. Underground drains can become blocked at anytime without prior symptoms. Check with the seller for information regarding the operation of the drainage system. SEPTIC SYSTEMS The private waste disposal system for this home has undergone a cursory evaluation only (if it was noted as included in the inspection report as listed on the Key) during this Inspection. For a complete "septic certification" you should contact a reputable septic company to uncover, pump and certify the system. COVERED CONCRETE It is virtually impossible to determine the condition of a concrete slab floor that is covered with floor coverings. Nearly all concrete will have cracks of some type. The house however is not supported by the slab, it rests on the foundation and footings. Sometimes severe movement or cracks are apparent and if visible will be reported. For a complete slab evaluation the floor coverings will need to be removed and a re-inspection for an additional fee be performed.
