ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

____________________________________________________________________________________

General Comments

This inspection is performed to the Standards of Practice of New York State and is visual in nature, and does not address building code compliance issues which are the purview of municipal building inspectors.

Overall House was in good condition.Main areas of concern were:

Some future regrading will be needed as earth settles around the foundation. Add spindles to handrail on front steps. Clean window wells and make deeper. Add second handrail on wall for garage steps. Fix pinched duct in ceiling in basement. May need fresh air vent for fireplace. Add space between main beam and concrete wall.

LimitationsChimney - The interior of chimneys and their flue liners are not visible on our visual inspection. You are advised to obtain the services of a qualified chimney sweeper or other qualified personnel to perform a complete inspection and tune up of your heating appliances prior to use.

Circuit Sizing - The Inspector is required to address the compatibility of conductors and overcurrent devices. In some instances, general trade procedures include over-sizing overcurrent devices to guard against nuisance (e.g. air conditioning units, dryers). The Inspector is not required to evaluate such general trade procedures, but to inform you of incompatibility.

23

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Supplementary Comments

Not all receptacles/outlets tested.Not all windows or doors may have been checked.

Wallpaper and/or fresh paint might conceal cracks, stains and possible leaks.

Stucco, siding or shingle exterior makes it difficult to assess the complete structure of the house.

Decks, obstructions and weather can limit accessibility and/or conceal deficiencies around the outside of the house.

It is very important that water & runoff drain away from foundations to minimize chance of water leakage into the basement, as cracks in foundation walls are common. Make sure the ground, patios and walkways slope away from the house for the first six feet.

Seal, caulk, repoint and/or repair cracks / gaps around the house (i.e. windows, sills, bricks & siding).

It is important that water from eve troughs drains well away from house - at least 6 feet away from wall. Also it is usually better to reposition downspouts to drain water above ground and away from house, then cap drains.

Make sure that eaves troughs remain fastened securely, gutters are kept clean seasonally from leaves & debris and leaks are sealed. Also, ensure that tree branches are not rubbing against eve troughs and roof.

Ensure roof flashing remains fastened, lays flat and gaps / cracks are caulked & sealed promptly to prevent leaks.

Monitor the roof and attic on a seasonal basis for leaks and (wind) damage. Repair as soon as possible.

Monitor siding and/or shingle exterior regularly for looseness, (wind) damage and repair and/or fasten as necessary.

Basement walls were checked visually and with moisture sensor. Dampness was not detected at this time.

Ensure that any cracks / gaps in bathroom or kitchen ceramic tiles are grouted, caulked and sealed to prevent leaks.

24

Keep humidity low to prevent condensation, stains, mildew forming on windows & walls (<25% = -20 C; <40% = 0 C)

Ceramic floor tiles, especially larger ones, can crack unexpectantly or become loose - repair as required.
