A property inspection evaluates visible, non-exhaustive conditions & records findings in report form Inspectors examine readily accessible systems & components using a visual, non-invasive method & operate equipment using normal controls when possible. Components, issues, actions, location, trade & summary may be noted. Conditions reflect time of inspection only. Inaccessible or unsafe areas are not inspected (not accessible)

⚠️ We encourage you to read our Standards of Practice (SOP’s), scope, disclamers & limitations. The SOPs outline the scope of the inspection, the systems reviewed & the limitations that apply. They provide the framework inspectors follow to evaluate properties & communicate findings consistently.

Garage Maintenance.
Learning how to maintain a residential garage door is key to operating it efficiently. A malfunction can prevent you from taking your car out of the garage when you want to. Regular maintenance twice a year can make such mishaps less likely. INFO: Visually inspect the door, perform safety tests, examine hardware for defects, service the chain or belt, service seals & springs, clean the garage door surface, replace batteries & bulbs, & Reduce friction between the door & the stop. Adjust the opening & closing speed.

The Crown’
The roof structure of a home is composed of several critical elements. Rafters and trusses, made from wood or metal, form the skeleton of the roof, supporting the outer layers and shaping the roof’s slope and style. Sheathing, typically plywood or OSB, is attached to the rafters/trusses, providing a base for roofing materials. Underlayment, a water-resistant layer, is placed over the sheathing for added protection against moisture. The roof covering, which can be shingles, tiles, metal, or other materials, serves as the outermost barrier against weather elements. Flashing is used around vents, chimneys, and valleys to prevent leaks, and gutters are installed to channel water away from the structure.

The Attic Baseline
Components are reviewed for presence, general condition, and visible signs of damage or deterioration where accessible. This includes visible roof framing, sheathing, insulation, ventilation components, attic access, and observable wiring or mechanical penetrations. Accessible areas are checked for moisture staining, microbial growth, pest activity, displaced or compressed insulation, and improper ventilation. The review is limited to observable conditions without moving insulation, dismantling components, or evaluating concealed framing, wiring, or roof coverings.

About Humidity’
Maintaining proper indoor relative humidity in winter is crucial to health and comfort. Cold air holds less moisture, leading to dry indoor air when heated. Optimal indoor humidity (30-50%) prevents respiratory issues, dry skin, and damage to wood furnishings. Balancing it with outdoor temperature prevents condensation on windows and mold growth, ensuring a healthy and comfortable living environment.

⚠️ Bathroom General Notes
1. Surfaces: Walls, ceilings, and flooring wear, staining, and moisture-related effects from normal use.
2. Fixtures/Hardware: Towel bars, TP holders, and similar hardware require periodic tightening.
3. Cabinetry/Counters: Surfaces show misalignment, and moisture exposure typical of use.
4. Drains/Overflow: Residue and slight odors; tub overflow should be checked for snugness and splash-tested periodically.
5. Sink Drain Stopper(s): The right side ensuite, right side main bathroom sink, basement bathroom sink & half bathroom sink drain stoppers were not holding water during testing. Replace components as needed.
End Statement: All components should be maintained with routine cleaning, ventilation, sealant renewal, and periodic hardware and drain checks to manage moisture and everyday wear.

Bathroom Ventilation
Bathroom exhaust fans help remove excess moisture created during bathing and showering. Running the fan during use and for at least 15–20 minutes afterward helps reduce humidity, which can prevent condensation, microbial growth, peeling finishes, and moisture damage to walls, ceilings, and nearby materials. Regular use and periodic cleaning of the fan grille improve performance and indoor air quality.

The Bathroom Baseline
Components are reviewed for presence, general condition, and visible signs of damage or deterioration where accessible. This includes cabinetry, countertops, sinks, faucets, visible plumbing, appliances, wall and ceiling finishes, and electrical receptacles. Accessible areas are checked for leaks, staining, loose or damaged finishes, improper clearances, and signs of moisture intrusion. The review is limited to observable conditions without moving appliances, dismantling components, or evaluating concealed plumbing, electrical, or ventilation systems.

Plumbing Waterlines
Inspected for support, connections, leaks & visible corrosion or damage. See also Insurance Section.


Ext. Water Shutoff(s)
Observed for accessibility, labels, valve operation, connection condition & leakage indicators.

Maintenance Advisory
Mechanical systems require routine homeowner maintenance and periodic observation for safe operation. This includes replacing heating system filters as recommended, keeping drains and condensate lines clear of debris, and periodically having sewer lines evaluated by a qualified contractor. Safety measures include maintaining domestic hot water at a safe temperature and installing locking or spring-loaded cover plates on critical controls to prevent accidental shutoff. Occupants should be familiar with all system shutoffs and label them clearly. Mechanical rooms should not be used for storage due to required clearance to combustibles. Homeowners should periodically check the mechanical room for calcification, minor leaks, corrosion, or unusual odors that may indicate developing issues.

Stairs & Railings – Areas Inspected

Inspection of the stairs focused on accessible structural and safety conditions. This included treads, risers, stringers, landings, handrails, and guards where present. Components were reviewed for secure attachment, uniformity, damage, wear, and trip or fall hazards. The evaluation was limited to visible and accessible areas without dismantling components or assessing concealed structural elements.

General Ceilings / Walls
Visually examined for common defects.

General Flooring
There is a slab cracked directly in front of the furnace. I recommend ceilings to prevent potential radon gas from escaping. Crack(s) / Shrinkage. Seal / Repair / Monitor.

Framing 101
Behind every wall is a framework — much like your own skeleton. Vertical studs form the bones, while cripples support around openings. King and jack studs work together to hold up headers over doors and windows, spreading the load. Top plates cap the walls and tie everything together, while bottom plates anchor it all to the floor. This unseen structure is critical to the strength, stability, and alignment of your home. Just like a healthy body depends on solid bones, your home depends on this framing to stand true. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⚠️ See also Insurance section for more details on your the structural specifications of this property.

1. Heating: Schedule regular cleaning and professional precision tune-ups for ALL heating equipment.
2. Filters: Replace ALL HVAC and appliance filters routinely with new ones as part of normal upkeep.
3. Clearance: Keep mechanical areas clear of storage and personal belongings to allow safe access and airflow.
4. Drain: Clean and maintain to help prevent blockages and backups.
5. Emergency Shut-Offs: Re-label ALL. This exercise is for occupants know their locations and to learn how to operate.
6. Flood Ready: Use leak detection or smart water monitoring devices near water appliances and plumbing lines.
7. Records: Obtain maintenance history, permits for modifications, and any transferable product or workmanship warranties.
8. Note Scope: Low-voltage systems are not inspected due to SOP limitations and wide performance variances.
End Statement: Routine servicing and timely repairs are recommended to help ensure safe operation, extend equipment life, and reduce the risk of unexpected failure.
