Disclosure, interception, copying or any other use of this report by anyone other than any intended recipient is prohibited.

This report is intended only as a general guide to help the client make their own evaluation of the structure or system inspected/reported on. The report expresses the personal opinions of the inspector and/or any third-party service providers based upon visual impressions of the conditions that existed at the time of the inspection only. The inspection process includes a limited, visual, performance-based inspection of the property or systems in the property, subject to the limitations described in the attached “Services Agreement.” The inspection and report are not intended to be technically exhaustive, or to imply that every possible defect was discovered. It is recommended that proper installation of any equipment on the property be verified by consulting the manufacturer’s instructions. While the inspector may mention an item that is suspected of being involved in a recall, every item in the home is not checked for recall status by the inspector. No disassembly of equipment, opening of walls, moving of furniture or floor coverings, appliances or stored items, or excavation was performed. All components and conditions which by the nature of their location are concealed, camouflaged or difficult to inspect are excluded from the report. If any problems or questionable conditions are reported on by the inspector or any applicable third-party company, or if the purchaser is concerned with any property conditions, it is recommended that a qualified professional be retained to further investigate the situation, and make necessary repairs.

Systems and conditions which are not within the normal scope of the building inspection (unless previously contracted) include, but are not limited to: formaldehyde, lead paint, asbestos, radon, carbon monoxide, fuel gas leaks, toxic or flammable materials, mold, contaminated drywall, carcinogens, or other environmental hazards, whether in the building, soil, water or air; pest infestation; playground equipment; efficiency measurement of insulation or heating and cooling equipment; internal or underground drainage or plumbing; sprinkler systems; pool and spa equipment; any systems which are shut down or otherwise secured; Sump pumps, Swamp coolers, water wells (water quality and quantity); septic systems; zoning ordinances; intercoms; security systems; heat sensors; cosmetic or building code conformity. Any additional information about these systems and conditions are included as a courtesy to the client, are for informational purposes only, and should not be considered an inspection.

The report should not be construed as a compliance inspection of any governmental or non-governmental codes or regulations. The report is not intended to be a warranty or guarantee of the present or future adequacy or performance of the structure, its systems, or their component parts. This report does not constitute any express or implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for use regarding the condition of the property and it should not be relied upon as such. Any opinions herein expressed regarding adequacy, capacity, or expected life of components are general estimates based on information about similar components and variations are to be expected between such estimates and actual experience.

A video pipe inspection is limited to readily accessible and visible portions of the underground sewer system. Weather limitations may affect the extent to which the inspector may inspect the underground sewer system. There are times that the sewer pipes cannot be viewed due to debris, rust/scale grease/residue root intrusion and similar obstructions and/or lack of access to plumbing vents, clean-outs, offset plumbing vents, elbows, 90º turns, and roof conditions. Any section of the sewer line which is not exposed to view, is concealed, or is inaccessible by the video equipment is excluded from the inspection and these areas will not be viewed by the company.

This report may include an estimation of the age of the principal structure, some components, or its roof. This estimate is only approximate.

Items inspected for this report are deemed “appears serviceable” if, at the time of inspection, they are considered to be in a functional and operable condition. These items may be at any point in their service life, from brand new to approaching end of life expectancy. Systems should be expected that at some point they will break down and need repair or replacement. This report is not intended to predict these events, it is simply an overview of the functionality of the items and systems inspected as they existed at the time of inspection. If there are any concerns about the life expectancy of any items in this report, it is recommended that additional evaluation by qualified licensed contractors be performed prior to closing.

To the best of our knowledge and belief, all statements and information in this report are true and correct.
