Purpose and Scope:

The inspection is supplemental to the Property Disclosure. It is the responsibility of the Client toobtain any and all disclosure forms relative to this real estate transaction.

This document was prepared as a report of all visual defects noted at the time and date of theinspection. It is not necessarily an all-inclusive summary, as additional testing or inspectioninformation/processes and analysis may be pending. It is subject to all terms and conditionsspecified in the Inspection Agreement.

It should be noted that a standard pre-purchase inspection is a visual assessment of the conditionof the property at the time of inspection. The inspection and inspection report are offered as anopinion only, of items observed on the day of the inspection. Although every reasonable effort ismade to discover and correctly interpret indications of previous or ongoing defects that may bepresent, it must be understood that no guarantee is expressed nor implied nor responsibilityassumed by the inspector or inspection company, for the actual condition of the building orproperty being examined.

This firm endeavors to perform all inspections in substantial compliance with the inspectionstandards of practice of the National Association of Certified Home Inspectors (NACHI). The scopeof the inspection is outlined in the Inspection Agreement, agreed to and signed by the Client. Ourinspectors inspect the readily accessible and installed components and systems of a property asfollows: This report contains observations of those systems and components that are, in theprofessional opinion of the inspector authoring this report, significantly deficient or are near the endof their expected service life. If the cause for the deficiency is not readily apparent, the suspectedcause or reason why the system or component is at or near end of expected service life is reported,and recommendations for correction or monitoring may be made as appropriate. When systems orcomponents designated for inspection in the NACHI Standards are present but are not inspected,the reason the item was not inspected may be reported as well.

This report summarizes the verbal briefing delivered at the conclusion of our inspection conductedat the above address.

RADON TESTING

The U.S. Surgeon General recommends radon testing in all homes. The inspector advises all clientsthat the subject property may be subject to contamination by radon, a cancer-causing, colorless,odorless, radioactive gas. Radon is listed by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) asbeing the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, the second leading cause of lung



cancer in America, and claims about 20,000 lives annually, or about 58 radon-induced lung cancerdeaths per day. For smokers, the risk of lung cancer is significant due to the synergistic effects ofradon and smoking. Radon decay products may modify, damage or destroy cells or DNA in humanlungs.

For more information, visit www.epa.gov/radon.

Axium Inspections, LLC offers radon gas testing as an ancillary inspection, andrecommends radon testing on all homes.

If the client chooses not to have radon testing performed, then in doing so the client agrees to holdthe inspector, its agents, and employees harmless and free from all liability and legal actionrelating to any presence of radon at the subject property, regardless of the legal theory upon whichany such claim rests.

EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS

The client should understand that this is the assessment of an inspector, not a professionalengineer, and that, despite all efforts, there is no way we can provide any guaranty that thefoundation, structure, and structural elements of the unit, are sound. We suggest that if the clientis at all uncomfortable with this condition or our assessment, a professional engineer be consultedto independently evaluate the condition, prior to making a final purchase decision.

This inspection is limited to the structure, exterior, landscape, roof, plumbing, electrical, heating,foundation, bathrooms, kitchen, bedrooms, hallway, and attic sections of the house as requested,where sections are clearly accessible, and where components are clearly visible. Inspection of thesecomponents is limited, and is also affected by the conditions apparent at the time of the inspection,and which may, in the sole opinion of the inspector, be hazardous to examine for reasons ofpersonal safety.

This inspection will exclude insulation, hazardous materials, retaining walls, hidden defects, buriedtanks of any type, areas not accessible or viewable, and all items as described in Section 4 of theInspection Agreement. As all buildings contain some level of mold, inspecting for the presence ofmold on surfaces, hidden locations, and in the air is not the responsibility of the inspector. Shouldthe Client feel the need to perform testing and evaluation for the presence or absence of molds,Inspector recommends contacting a certified industrial hygienist or qualified laboratory testingservice for these activities.

The following items are also excluded from the scope of the inspection, and deviations to theNACHI and ASTM standards are hereby noted:

Inspecting for the presence of wood destroying insects (WDI), testing for the presence of radongas, building code violations of any type, document reviews, survey, ADA or accessibility reviews ofany type whatsoever, dost estimates of any type, remaining useful life, estimated useful life,insulation, life/safety equipment and issues.

The NACHI Standards of Practice, are applicable to all residential properties. They are the bareminimum standard for a residential inspection, are not technically exhaustive and do not identifyconcealed conditions or latent defects. Inspectors are NOT required to determine the condition ofany system or component that is not readily accessible; the remaining service life of any system or



component; determination of correct sizing of any system or component; the strength, adequacy,effectiveness or efficiency of any system or component; causes of any condition or deficiency;methods materials or cost of corrections; future conditions including but not limited to failure ofsystems and components; the suitability of the property for any specialized use; compliance withregulatory codes, regulations, laws or ordinances; the market value of the property or itsmarketability; the advisability of the purchase of the property; the presence of potentiallyhazardous plants or animals including but not limited to wood destroying organisms or diseasesharmful to humans; mold; mildew; the presence of any environmental hazards including, but notlimited to toxins, carcinogens, noise, and contaminants in soil, water or air; the effectiveness ofany system installed or methods utilized to control or remove suspected hazardous substances; theoperating costs of any systems or components and the acoustical properties of any systems orcomponents.

The inspector is NOT required to operate any system or component that is shut down or otherwiseinoperable; any system or component which does not respond to normal operating controls or anyshut off valves.

The inspector is NOT required to offer or perform any act or service contrary to law; offer orperform engineering services or work in any trade or professional service.

We DO NOT offer or provide warranties or guarantees of any kind or for any purpose.

The inspector is NOT required to inspect, evaluate, or comment on any and all underground itemsincluding, but not limited to, septic or underground storage tanks or other underground indicationsof their presence, whether abandoned or active; systems or components that are not installed;decorative items; systems or components that are in areas not entered in accordance with theNACHI Standards of Practice; detached structures other than carports or garages; commonelements or common areas in multi-unit housing, such as condominium properties or cooperativehousing.

The inspector is NOT required to enter into or onto any area or surface, or perform any procedureor operation which will, in the sole opinion of the inspector, likely be dangerous to the inspector orothers or damage the property, its systems or components; nor are they required to movesuspended ceiling tiles, personal property, furniture, equipment, plants, soil, snow, ice or debris ordismantle any system or component, or venture into confined spaces.

The inspector is NOT required to enter crawlspaces or attics that are not readily accessible nor anyarea which will, in the sole opinion of the inspector, likely to be dangerous, inaccessible, or partiallyinaccessible to the inspector or other persons, or where entry could possibly cause damage to theproperty or its systems or components.

The inspector is not a licensed professional engineer or architect, and does not engage in theunlicensed practice of either discipline. Opinions contained herein are just that.

A WORD ABOUT CONTRACTORS AND 20-20 HINDSIGHT

A common source of dissatisfaction with inspectors sometimes comes as a result of off-the cuffcomments made by contractors (made after-the-fact), which often differ from ours. Don't besurprised when someone says that something needed to be replaced when we said it needed to berepaired, replaced, upgraded, or monitored. Having something replaced may make more money for



the contractor than just doing a repair. Contractors sometimes say, "I can't believe you had thisbuilding inspected and they did not find this problem." There may be several reasons for theseapparent over sights:

Conditions during inspection—It is difficult for clients to remember the circumstances in the subjectproperty at the time of the inspection. Clients seldom remember that there was storageeverywhere, making things inaccessible, or that the air conditioning could not be turned on becauseit was less than 65° outside. Contractors do not know what the circumstances were when theinspection was performed.

The wisdom of hindsight—When a problem occurs, it is very easy to have 20/20 hindsight. Anybodycan say that the roof is leaking when it is raining outside and the roof is leaking. In the midst of ahot, dry, or windy condition, it is virtually impossible to determine if the roof will leak the next timeit rains. Predicting problems is not an exact science and is not part of the inspection process. Weare only documenting the condition of the property at the time of the inspection.

A destructive or invasive examination—The inspection process is non-destructive, and is generallynon-invasive. It is performed in this manner because, at the time we inspected the subjectproperty, the Client did not own, rent, or lease it. A Client cannot authorize the disassembly ordestruction of what does not belong to them. Now, if we spent half an hour under a sink, twistingvalves and pulling on piping, or an hour disassembling a furnace, we may indeed find additionalproblems. Of course, we could possibly CAUSE some problems in the process. Therein lies thequandary. We want to set your expectations as to what an inspection is, and what it not.

We are generalists—We are not acting as specialists in any specific trade. The heating and coolingcontractor may indeed have more heating expertise than we do. This is because heating andcooling is all he's expected to know. Inspectors are expected to know heating and cooling,plumbing, electricity, foundations, carpentry, roofing, appliances, etc. That's why we're generalists.We're looking at the forest, not the individual trees.

It is impossible to determine the integrity of a roof, absent of performing an invasive inspection,and absent of obvious defects noted, especially if inspection had not taken place during orimmediately after a sustained rainfall. Inspector makes no warranty as to the remaining life of thisroof or related components.

Be advised that there are many different roof types, which we evaluate wherever and wheneverpossible. Every roof-covering material will wear differently relative to the following lifespan factors:

- Roofing material quality- Installation method- Number of layers- Structure orientation: South-facing roofs will have shorter lifespans. - Degree of roof slope:Flatter roofs will have shorter lifespans.- Climate (snow & rain): Harsh climates shorten roof lifespans.- Temperature swings: climates with large daily temperature differentials will shorten rooflifespans.- Building site conditions (overhanging tree branches, wind, etc.)- Roof color: Darker roofs absorb more heat which shortens roof lifespan.- Elevation: Homes at higher elevations are exposed to more ultra violet (UV) light, which shortensroof lifespan. - Orientation: Roofs which receive more sun deteriorate more quickly than roofswhich receive less sun.- Roof structure ventilation: Poor ventilation shortens roof lifespans.- Quality of maintenance

Regardless of its design-life, every roof is only as good as the waterproof membrane beneath it,which is concealed and cannot be examined without removing the roof material, and this is equallytrue of almost all roofs. In fact, the material on the majority of pitched roofs is not designed to bewaterproof; only water- resistant, this membrane can be split by movement, or deterioratedthrough time. Although there is leeway in installation specifications, the type and quality ofmembranes that are installed can vary from one installer to another, and leaks do occur. Themajority of leaks result when a roof has not been well maintained or kept clean, and werecommend servicing them annually.

However, what remains true of all roofs is that, whereas their condition can be evaluated, it isvirtually impossible for anyone to detect a leak except as it is occurring or by specific water tests,which are beyond the scope of our service.

Even water stains on ceilings, or on the framing within attics, could be old and will not necessarilyconfirm an active leak without some corroborative evidence, and such evidence can be deliberately

2129 Wagon Gap Trail Page 1


concealed. Consequently, only the installers can credibly guarantee that a roof will not leak, andthey do.

We evaluate every roof conscientiously, but we will not predict its remaining life expectancy, orguarantee that it will not leak. Naturally, the sellers or the occupants of a residence will generallyhave the most intimate knowledge of the roof and of its history. Therefore, we recommend that youask the sellers about it, and that you either include comprehensive roof coverage in your insurancepolicy, or that you obtain a roof certification from an established local roofing company.Additionally, the condition of a roof can change dramatically after a hard winter, so monitoring isalways necessary.

The home inspector shall observe: Roof covering; Roof drainage systems (gutters anddownspouts); Vents; Flashings; Skylights, Chimneys, and other Roof penetrations; and signs of'leaks or abnormal condensation on building components. The home inspector shall: Describe thetype of roof covering materials; and Report the methods used to observe the roofing. The homeinspector is not required to: Walk on any roof surface; Predict the service life expectancy;Inspect underground downspout diverter drainage pipes; Remove snow, ice, debris or otherconditions that prohibit the observation of the roof surfaces; Observe attached accessoriesincluding but not limited to solar systems, antennae, lightning arrestors, or similar attachments.

1.19.1 • The roof drainage system consisted of conventional gutters hung from the roofedges feeding downspouts which routed run-off away from the property foundation. The roofdrainage system appeared to be in serviceable condition at the time of the inspection. Thegutters appear intact but due to the lack of recent rain, determining if gutters leak at seamsor spill water was not possible at the time of the inspection.

The roof of the home was inspected and reported on with the above information. While the inspector makesevery effort to find all areas of concern, some areas can go unnoticed. Roof coverings and skylights canappear to be leak proof during inspection and weather conditions. Our inspection makes an attempt to find aleak but sometimes cannot. Please be aware that the inspector has your best interest in mind. Any repairitems mentioned in this report should be considered before purchase. It is recommended that qualifiedcontractors be used in your further inspection or repair issues as it relates to the comments in this inspectionreport.

Be aware that if the subject property is furnished, there are limitations pertaining what we mayable to inspect during the engagement. In accordance with industry standards, we only inspectthose surfaces that are exposed and readily accessible. We do not move furniture, lift carpets,move or remove stored items, clear clutter or knick-knacks, nor do we remove or rearrange itemswithin closets and cabinets.

Our inspection of living space includes the visually accessible areas of walls, floors, cabinets andclosets, and includes the testing of a representative number of windows and doors, switches andoutlets. Nationally recognized home inspection standards require testing a minimum of onewindow, door, switch and outlet in every room, where accessible. However, we do not evaluatewindow treatments, or move furniture, lift carpets or rugs, empty closets or cabinets, and we donot comment on cosmetic deficiencies.

We may not comment on the cracks that appear around windows and doors, or which follow thelines of framing members and the seams of drywall and plasterboard. These cracks may be aconsequence of movement, such as wood shrinkage, common settling, or seismic activity, and willoften reappear if they are not correctly repaired. Such cracks can become the subject of disputes,and are therefore best evaluated by a specialist. Similarly, there may be a number ofenvironmental pollutants, which could include molds or other contaminants, the specificidentification of which is beyond the scope of our service but which can become equallycontentious.

In addition, there are a host of lesser contaminants, such as that from moisture penetrating carpet-covered cracks in floor slabs, as well as odors from household pets and cigarette smoke that canpermeate walls, carpets, heating and air conditioning ducts, and other porous surfaces, and whichcan be difficult to eradicate. However, inasmuch as the sense of smell adjusts rapidly, and thesensitivity to such odors is certainly not uniform, we recommend that you make this determinationfor yourself, and particularly if you or any member of your family suffers from allergies or asthma,and then schedule whatever remedial services may be deemed necessary before the close ofescrow.

The inspector shall: Open and close a representative number of doors and windows. Inspect thewalls, ceilings, steps, stairways, and railings. Inspect garage doors and garage door openers byoperating first by remote (if available) and then by the installed automatic door control.

The sump pumphad had an external float, was tested and responded to the controls*. The sump pit waterlevel was at an acceptable level at time of inspection.This system protects the property from water intrusion by discharging rising groundwater orseepage from surface runoff to the exterior of the property or to a waste pipe or storm drain.Sump pumps require periodic maintenance to ensure that they work when they're neededand should be tested on an annual basis to ensure they are in working order. The pumps canbe tested by lifting the float, but to avoid potential shock/electrocution hazard testing shouldbe performed using a tool which will not conduct electricity. Pumps have a filter that shouldbe cleaned during routine maintenance.



Sewage Ejector Pump9.09Not Present9.09.1 • A sewage ejector pump was not installed and was not needed in this property attime of inspection. Typical examples of situations requiring a sewage ejector pump areproperties with finished basements and hillside properties with city sewer lines higher thanthe lower level drain lines.

The plumbing in the home was inspected and reported on with the above information. While the inspectormakes every effort to find all areas of concern, some areas can go unnoticed. Washing machine drain line forexample cannot be checked for leaks or the ability to handle the volume during drain cycle. Older homes withgalvanized supply lines or cast iron drain lines can be obstructed and barely working during an inspection butthen fails under heavy use. If the water is turned off or not used for periods of time (like a vacant homewaiting for closing) rust or deposits within the pipes can further clog the piping system. Please be aware thatthe inspector has your best interest in mind. Any repair items mentioned in this report should be consideredbefore purchase. It is recommended that qualified contractors be used in your further inspection or repairissues as it relates to the comments in this inspection report.

The client should understand that this is the assessment of an inspector, not a professionalengineer, and that, despite all efforts, there is no way we can provide any guaranty that thisfoundation, and the overall structure and structural elements of the condo unit, is sound. Wesuggest that if the client is at all uncomfortable with this condition or our assessment, aprofessional engineer be consulted to independently evaluate the condition, prior to making a finalpurchase decision. The inspection is supplemental to the Property Disclosure.

At least once a year, the client should carefully inspect the foundation (interior elements andexterior elements) should be examined for signs of cracking, insect intrusion, moisture intrusion, orchanges of any type (such as the appearance of cracks, or the widening or lengthening of existingcracks).

All structures are dependent on the soil beneath them for support, but soils are not uniform. Somethat might appear to be firm and solid can liquefy and become unstable during seismic activity.Others can become unstable through the freeze-thaw cycle, or from site drainage issues. Also,there are soils that can expand to twice their volume with the influx of water and move structureswith relative ease, raising and lowering them and fracturing slabs and other hard surfaces. In fact,expansive soils have accounted for more structural damage than most natural disasters.Regardless, foundations are not uniform, and conform to the structural standard of the year inwhich they were built. In accordance with the NACHI standards of practice, we identify foundationtypes and look for any evidence of structural deficiencies, within the scope of our profession, butnot within the scope of the practice of architecture of professional engineering. However, cracks ordeteriorated surfaces in foundations are quite common. In fact, it would be rare to find a raisedfoundation wall that was not cracked or deteriorated in some way, or a slab foundation that did notinclude some cracks concealed beneath the carpeting and padding. Fortunately, most of thesecracks are related to the curing process or to common settling, including some wide ones calledcold-joint separations that typically contour the footings, but others can be more structurallysignificant and reveal the presence of expansive soils that can predicate more or less continualmovement. We will certainly alert you to any suspicious cracks if they are clearly visible. However,we are not specialists, and in the absence of any major defects we may not recommend that youconsult with a foundation contractor, a structural engineer, or a geologist, but this should not deteryou from seeking the opinion of any such expert.

Modern foundations vary considerably from older ones. Newer foundations may have a moisturebarrier under them and reinforcing steel within them, as compared to older ones that may haveneither. Our inspection of foundations conforms to industry standards, which is that of a generalistand not a specialist. We check the visible portion of the walls on the outside for any evidence ofsignificant cracks or structural deformation, but we do not move furniture or lift carpeting andpadding to look for cracks or moisture penetration, and we do not use any of the specialized

15 • Structural Basement



devices that are used to establish relative elevations and confirm differential movement.

Significantly, many foundations are built or move out of level, but the average person may notbecome aware of this until there is a difference of more than one inch in twenty feet, which mostauthorities regard as being tolerable.

Many slab floors are found to contain cracks when the carpet and padding are removed, includingsome that contour the edge and can be quite wide. They typically result from shrinkage and usuallyhave little structural significance. However, there is no absolute standard for evaluating cracks, andthose that are less than 1/4" and which exhibit no significant vertical or horizontal displacement aregenerally not regarded as being significant. Although they typically do result from commonshrinkage, they can also be caused by a deficient mixture of concrete, deterioration through time,seismic activity, adverse soil conditions, and poor drainage, and if they are not sealed they canallow moisture to enter a residence, and particularly if the residence is surcharged by a hill or evena slope, or if downspouts discharge adjacent to the slab. However, in the absence of any majordefects, we may not recommend that you consult with a foundation contractor, a structuralengineer, or a geologist, but (again) this should not deter you from seeking the opinion of any suchexpert.

There is no way for Inspector to know if hydrostatic pressure exists, or is moisture intrusion is, orwas ever a problem with regard to the foundation or any foundation element. Where finished wallsare installed, the possibility always exists that moisture intrusion occurred, and that mold may existin hidden areas. Foundational components were generally dry on the day of the inspection. Monitoras necessary.

The Home Inspector shall observe structural components including foundations, floors, walls,columns or piers, ceilings and roof. The home inspector shall describe the type of Foundation, floorstructure, wall structure, columns or piers, ceiling structure, roof structure. The home inspectorshall: Probe structural components where deterioration is suspected; Enter under floor crawlspaces, basements, and attic spaces except when access is obstructed, when entry could damagethe property, or when dangerous or adverse situations are suspected; Report the methods used toobserve under floor crawl spaces and attics; and Report signs of abnormal or harmful waterpenetration into the building or signs of abnormal or harmful condensation on building components.The home inspector is not required to: Enter any area or perform any procedure that may damagethe property or its components or be dangerous to or adversely effect the health of the homeinspector or other persons.

Basement Moisture Intrusion15.04Inspected15.04.1 • There were no visible signs of water intrusion or moisture in the basement at thetime of the inspection.

Basement Interior Wall Structure15.05Inspected15.05.1 • Visible basement walls were constructed using a method which will allow for soilmovement. This method is usually termed "floating" the walls and involves leaving a gap atthe bottom of the wall so that vertical movement (heaving) of the concrete slab basementfloor will not be transmitted to the rest of the property structure. Colorado has areas withexpansive soils. Expansive soils are soils which increase to many times their original volumein response to increases in soil moisture content, creating forces which can easily damageproperty structural components such as foundations, floor slabs, flat work and interior andexterior wall coverings.

Basement Ceiling/1st Floor Structure15.06Inspected15.06.1 • The ceiling of the basement and floor structure of the first floor appeared to be inacceptable condition at time of inspection.

A WORD ABOUT MOLD AND OTHER TOXINSAs stated in the Inspection Agreement, and acknowledged by the Client, the parties agree that allbuildings contain some amount of mold, and that the Inspector is held harmless from any claimarising from the presence of any level or species of mold, which may exist in, or on, the structure,property, or condo, either at the time of the inspection, or identified or discovered anytimethereafter. Mold can occur at any time, and for a variety of reasons, including water penetration orelevated moisture content. It may also remain hidden from view, or return at any time aftercleaning if root cause for the mold growth was not identified and corrected. As the inspection isvisual only, and therefore non-invasive, it is virtually impossible for Inspector to identify allconditions which could result in mold growth, and is also impossible for Inspector to reasonablyidentify area of mold growth. The Client further acknowledged and agreed that the Inspector is notresponsible for the discovery of toxins of any type, either inside or outside the subject structure,condo unit, and/or property.

The General Home inspection does not include confirmation of the presence of molds of any type.Many types of molds exist to which different people show widely varying levels of sensitivity.Testing for molds requires a specialist inspection. The Inspector recommends that you havespecialist testing performed if molds are a concern to you.

The Inspector offers limited mold testing as an ancillary inspection.

The Inspector advises all clientsthat the subject property may be subject to contamination by Radon, a cancer-causing, colorless,odorless, radioactive gas listed by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as being theleading cause of lung cancer among Non-smokers, and radon is the second leading cause of lungcancer in American and claims about 20,000 lives annually, or about 58 radon-induced lung cancerdeaths per day. For smokers, the risk of lung cancer is significant due to the synergistic effects ofradon and smoking. Radon decay products may modify, damage or destroy cells or DNA in humanlungs.
