Property and Site1.0
Building
For the purposes of this review, the front of the structure faces east. All references to direction contained within thisreport reflect this orientation.
The house has been vacant. This can make finding some problems such as plumbing leaks, etc, more difficult (if notimpossible) to detect.
House is older and may have systems or components that by todays standards would be insufficient or improper. It isnot the responsibility of the home inspector to detail individual components or systems that were acceptable at timeof construction but may be considered improper or insufficient by todays standards.
Older vintage home in a state of deferred maintenance needing a significant amount of repairs and upgrades, manyof a minor or cosmetic nature too numerous to mention.
Porch
Loose and warped deck boards noted at the east large deck creating trip hazards. Repairs advised for safety.
Porch Railing
Railing on porch is loose and requires rectification.
Front Porch Receptacle
Hot & neutral wires are reversed in outlet (outlet itself or something somewhere "upstream" from the outlet was wiredbackwards). This can cause some things to not work correctly and is a safety hazard. Correction required by alicensed electrician.
Exterior 2.0
Foundation Wall
Foundation has typical cracks.
Undermining noted at the west wall. Backfilling required to reduce the chance of settlement or damages.
Ensure all openings to the crawl space are properly closed and covered to reduce the chance of vermin intrusion andrelated damages.

Exterior 2.0
Wall Surface
Siding, trims, and some soffits are unpainted. Proper prepping and painting required to prolong the life of thematerials.
Caulking appears to be separating at various places around the house. Recommend inspection and repair by alicensed & qualified siding contractor to reduce the chance of moisture problems.
The upper edges of the siding on the east and west walls of the north addition are only protected from moistureintrusion by trims that are caulked in place but may still be allowing moisture intrusion. Review and correction by aqualified contractor advised.

Roof Structure3.0
Covering
Moss treatment & removal recommended to reduce the chance of premature damage to the roof.
Recommend cleaning tree debris out of valleys and between shingles (the keyways) for improved water run-off.
All tree branches should be kept trimmed back at least 6 to 8 feet from roof & gutters to extend their life, reducedebris & the chance of damage.
Unable to determine exact number of layers but there appears to be 3 if not more.Many shingles do not appear to beproperly secured, have minimal fasteners, or are just installed wrong. Advise review by a qualified roofer todetermine the need for repair or replacement to reduce the chance of premature failure or damages.
Ladder blocking was still in place on the north side of the west crawl space. This can cause a back up of debris andtrap moisture leading to leaks or damages. Removal and sealing of holes required to reduce the chance of damages.

Crawlspace5.0
Sill plate at the top of the stem walls as seen near the NE access hatch are damaged by past insect activity. I amunable to determine the extent of the damages. Removal and repair of all damaged materials required.
Bearing Wall
What appeared to be settlement noted at the stem walls as seen in the Northern most crawl space. No damageswere noted in relation to this, but it is one of the likely causes of the unlevel floors in the house. Shimming has beenadded to make joists as level as they could.
Crawl Space
Pooling waste water from damaged waste lines requires removal and area treated for any bacteria that may be leftdue to this.
No vapor barrier was laid across the ground under the north addition and no insulation was installed on the sub floor.Installation of 6mm black visqueen vapor barrier with 6" (min) overlaps at seams required over all exposed dirt incrawlspace. Advise adding insulation as well for improved insulating values.
Heating6.0
Smoke Detectors
Current smoke alarms do not meet the new standards.
As of January 1, 2002, per HB2586 & ORS479-260 (revised) when a dwelling is sold, Oregon State Law nowrequires that ionization smoke alarms must include a hush feature, and, if solely battery-powered, must have a ten-year battery. For added occupant safety it is advised that all steps necessary to comply with this law be taken. Allnon-compliant alarms must be removed and if alarms are already hard-wired the replacement alarms must also behard-wired.
Recommend placing smoke alarms on every level of the home, outside each sleeping area (ie. the hall outside thebedrooms) and in every bedroom for added safety.

Plumbing Components7.0
Waste Drainage
Water was noted pooling in the crawl space from an open waste line under the bathroom. Review and repairs to thewaste line system required.
Sewer odor was detected which suggests poor or improper venting. This could also suggest the lack of a trap.
Slope of the waste piping is not conducive to good drainage, inspection and correction by a licensed plumber recommended.
Old waste lines were noted in the SW corner of the crawl space. These were left open and may still be connected tothe main waste line which would allow sewer gases to enter the house or crawl space. If gases accumulate at theright levels it could, in the worst case scenario, run the risk of combusting. Removal and capping required.

Wall
Possible mold or mildew noted on wall. Unable to determine if it is a type that can cause health problems or if hiddendamage has occurred. Elimination of mold required for health reasons and repair any damage if found. If concern stillexists have inspected by a contractor specializing in this type condition.
Previously noted mold/mildew as well as staining was noted in the inner corners where the room meets the outer wallof the house as well as along the outer walls on the sides of the room where they meet the roof. I am unable todetermine the moisture source leading to these issues but it could be due to roof leaks, improper attic ventilation,lack of siding flashings at siding joints on the outer walls, or improper insulation and vapor barrier under the addition

The evaluation of the roof provided by this inspection is meant as a general guideline only and does not constitute aformal roof certification. Some deficiencies such as leaks may or may not be visible on the day of the inspection.
Accordingly it does not include any guarantees against leaking nor the need for roof repairs or replacement. If a preciseestimate of the current condition and remaining usefulness of the roof is needed contact a licensed roofer for a fulltechnical evaluation.
Moss treatment & removal recommended to reduce the chance of premature damage to the roof.
Recommend cleaning tree debris out of valleys and between shingles (the keyways) for improved water run-off.
All tree branches should be kept trimmed back at least 6 to 8 feet from roof & gutters to extend their life, reduce debris& the chance of damage.
Unable to determine exact number of layers but there appears to be 3 if not more.Many shingles do not appear to be properly secured, have minimal fasteners, or are just installed wrong. Advise review by a qualified roofer to determinethe need for repair or replacement to reduce the chance of premature failure or damages.

Electrical systems are inspected only in a very limited and general way. We do not check low voltage wiring, 220-voltoutlets and/or systems. This is not a direct attempt to identify code violations.
Per State standards personal items will not be moved or unplugged. Therefore accessible receptacles and switches willbe checked for operations but not load capacity. Only exterior receptacles attached to the house will be checked. Noancillary or low voltage wiring is checked. 3-prong receptacles are checked for polarity and grounding, 2-prong

What is a hose bibb you ask? A hose bibb is an apparatus used to extend a water line allowing a garden hose toconnect with a hose end attachment for tasks such as watering plants, washing the car, etc.
Do not leave hoses connected to faucets during cold weather as this may allow freezing and consequent damage.

The purpose of the inspection is to determine if the plumbing system is currently functional or not. A technicalevaluation to determine the adequacy or ongoing usefulness of the plumbing pipes, fixtures, etc is not included. Thisservice can be performed by a licensed plumber if desired. Also, drain lines from the house to the street, particularly inolder homes, may fail over time and require repair or replacement.
It is recommended that you have the drain lines "scoped" from the house to the street or septic tank prior to closing.
Water lines and waste line ran on the outside of the house. This is improper and very prone to damages. Removal or relocation required.
Plumbing lines are not properly secured, this can lead to leaks, repair recommended by a licensed plumber.

Damaged: NoWaste Drainage
Buried &/or concealed sewer drain lines are outside the scope of this inspection. Sewer lines can often be partiallyobstructed, cracked, crushed, disconnected or in some other way damaged in a way that would not be detected in thisinspection. Repairs for this type of deficiency can be quite costly. Having such lines inspected/scoped by a qualifiedplumbing contractor may be prudent.
Water was noted pooling in the crawl space from an open waste line under the bathroom. Review and repairs to thewaste line system required.
Sewer odor was detected which suggests poor or improper venting. This could also suggest the lack of a trap.
Slope of the waste piping is not conducive to good drainage, inspection and correction by a licensed plumber recommended.
Old waste lines were noted in the SW corner of the crawl space. These were left open and may still be connected to themain waste line which would allow sewer gases to enter the house or crawl space. If gases accumulate at the right
levels it could, in the worst case scenario, run the risk of combusting. Removal and capping required.

Damaged: NoWall
Possible mold or mildew noted on wall. Unable to determine if it is a type that can cause health problems or if hiddendamage has occurred. Elimination of mold required for health reasons and repair any damage if found. If concern still exists have inspected by a contractor specializing in this type condition.
Previously noted mold/mildew as well as staining was noted in the inner corners where the room meets the outer wall of the house as well as along the outer walls on the sides of the room where they meet the roof. I am unable to determinethe moisture source leading to these issues but it could be due to roof leaks, improper attic ventilation, lack of siding flashings at siding joints on the outer walls, or improper insulation and vapor barrier under the addition allowing moisture vapor to enter through the structure from below. Advise review by a qualified contractor. Repair/renovate asneeded.
