"Committed to inspection excellence" © 2001 The Pridemen Team 900 Rock, LR Page 3 of 14 DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS Foundation: *Poured Concrete *Brick *Basement Configuration •Crawl Space Configuration •Crawl Space Access: Exterior •Crawl Space Moisture Barrier: None *Crawl Space Method Of Inspection: Entered - Inaccessible Areas Floor Structure: •Wood Floor Joist •Brick Columns •Wood Floor Beams •Board/Plank Sub Floor Wall Structure: *Wood Frame/Brick Veneer Ceiling Structure: *Joist Roof Structure: *Rafters Roof Sheathing: •Spaced Plank Attic Access Location: •Closet *Attic Method Of Inspection: Entered STRUCTURAL COMPONENT OBSERVATIONS As is typical of homes of this age, the building exhibits some unusual conditions. Structural improvements could be undertaken. In practice, however, most homes of this nature are improved on an as needed basis only. Less than ideal conditions are simply tolerated In most cases, improvement is only undertaken if the timber fails or is substantially weakened. It is not the intention of this report to make this old house new again. Improvements will only be recommended where they are considered critical. Unless substantial renovation is anticipated, it is important that one have an "old house mentality" when it comes to living in a home of this nature. RECOMMENDATIONS / OBSERVATIONS Commonly found minor settling cracks (approximately 1/8 of an inch or less) were observed in various locations in the exterior walls. O The exterior wall structure is leaning at the front porch. This implies that structural movement of the building has occurred. The rate of movement cannot be predicted during a one-time inspection. Evidence of roof leakage was observed on the underside of the roof sheathing. The floor members in various locations show evidence of minor rot. This appears to have been caused by a previous leak do the fact that excessive moisture was not present at the time of the inspection. While repairs could be undertaken it does not seem to be a structural imperative at this time. The span of the floor joists appears to exceed the standard for joists of this configuration. While this does not pose a serious short term problem, it may allow for excessive deflection of the joists over time. Resupporting may be desirable. The previous re -support work (the addition of piers) in the crawlspace is not technically correct, however there is no evidence of failure (leaning, settling or falling) at the present time. 0 Evidence of termite activity was observed in various locations. A licensed pest control specialist should be engaged to evaluate this condition and recommend measures to eliminate further termite activity within the home. Q It is recommended that a licensed pest control specialist be consulted to provide advice on preventative treatments and/or the elimination of possible wood boring insect activity in various locations. LIMITATIONS OF STRUCTURAL COMPONENT INSPECTION As prescribed in the pre -inspection contract, this is a visual inspection only. Assessing the structural integrity of a building is beyond the scope of a typical home inspection. A certified professional engineer is recommended where there are structural concerns about the building. Inspection of structural components was limited by (but not restricted to) the following conditions: e Structural components concealed behind finished surfaces could not be inspected. • Only a representative sampling of visible structural components were inspected. • Furniture and/or storage restricted access to some structural components. This confidential report is prepared exclusively for Ms. Lisa Cornwell 0 2001 The Pridemen Team 1 DESCRIPTION OF ROOFING SYSTEM 900 Rock, LR Page 5 of 14 Roof Covering: •Composition Shingle •Metal •Number of roofing layers observed: 4+ Chimneys: *Masonry *Unlined Gutters and Downspouts: *Galvanized Steel *Downspouts Discharge Above Grade Method of Inspection: •Viewed From Ladder At Eave *Viewed With Binoculars ROOFING OBSERVATIONS RECOMMENDATIONS / OBSERVATIONS Q The metal and shingled roofing should be replaced. It is recommended that roofing materials be removed prior to re- roofing. Q The masonry chimney is in need of repointing (replacing the mortar between the bricks). Q A rain cap and vermin screen should be installed on the masonry chimney. Q The flashing should be replaced. Q Downspouts that discharge near the home should have a "shoe" (extension) installed to encourage the water to flow away from the foundation. LIMITATIONS OF ROOFING INSPECTION As prescribed in the pre -inspection contract, this is a visual inspection only. Roofing life expectancies can vary depending on several factors. Any estimates of remaining life are approximations only. This assessment of the roof does not preclude the possibility of leakage. Leakage can develop at any time and may depend on rain intensity, wind direction, ice build up, etc. The inspection of the roofing system was limited by (but not restricted to) the following conditions: • The entire underside of the roof sheathing is not inspected for evidence of. • Evidence of prior leakage may be disguised by interior finishes. Refer to the pre -inspection contract for a further explanation of the scope of this inspection. This confidential report is prepared exclusively for Ms. Lisa Cornwell 0 2001 The Pridemen Team DESCRIPTION OF EXTERIOR Lot Grading from home to curb Walkways / Patios: Porches, Decks, and Steps: Soffit and Fascia: Wall Cladding: Window Frames: Entry Doors: EXTERIOR OBSERVATIONS 900 Rock, LR Page 6 of 14 m m. I /rt 4 -Graded Away From House -Concrete •Concrete ■Wood *Open Rafters •Vinyl •Brick *Vinyl Siding -Stucco Board ■ Wood •Wood The exterior of the home has lacked maintenance. RECOMMENDATIONS / OBSERVATIONS ❑x As there is a danger of falling, a railing should be provided for the porch at the rear wall to the basement with openings between the railings not to exceed 6 inches. Q The porch railing at the rear wall is dilapidated. It should be replaced. Q The support posts for the rear deck/porch cover at the rear wall are rotted. They should be resupported. Q A support post is needed for additional support at the rear eave where it has sagged. Q Localized rot was observed in the fascia (the wooden board to which the gutter is typically fastened) in various locations. Repairs and painting are recommended. Q The fascia shows evidence of substantial rot in various locations. Repair or replacement should be undertaken as necessary. Q Localized pointing (replacement of the mortar between the exterior bricks) in various locations is recommended.. Previous pointing (replacement of the mortar between the bricks) was observed. There does not appear to be any significant re -cracking of the mortar. Q Loose bricks at the front and rear should be replaced. Q Cracked or broken window(s) in various locations should be repaired. Q The window frames require painting and caulking on the exterior. Q Localized evidence of rot was visible at window sills in various locations. Repairs should be undertaken in conjunction with painting. Q The window in various locations shows evidence of substantial rot to the sill and one window shows rot below the sill. Repair to the window sill can usually be accomplished by a skilled carpenter, although a replacement window is preferred in some cases. Q The windows in various locations are dilapidated and should be replaced. Q Damaged screens were noted on windows. Q The basement door and frame need replacement, the are badly rotted. Q One of 3 purlins at the front is rotted and needs repair. LIMITATIONS OF EXTERIOR INSPECTION As prescribed in the pre -inspection contract, this is a visual inspection only. The inspection of the exterior was limited by (but not restricted to) the following conditions: • A representative sample of exterior components was inspected. • The inspection does not include an assessment of geological conditions and/or site stability. Refer to the pre -inspection contract for a further explanation of the scope of this inspection. This confidential report is prepared exclusively for Ms. Lisa Cornwell © 2001 The Pridemen Team DESCRIPTION OF INTERIOR Wall Finishes: Ceiling Finishes: Floor Surfaces: Doors: Window Styles and Glazing: Fireplace(s): Other Components Tested: OBSERVATIONS 900 Rock, LR Page 12 of 14 •Drywall/Plaster •Drywall/Plaster •Wood •Suspended Tile •Vinyl/Resilient •Wood *Solid Core ■Double/Single Hung *Single Pane *Masonry Firebox *Door Bell On the whole, the interior finishes of the home are considered to be in below average condition. When redecorating, repairs will be necessary in some areas prior to painting or wallpapering. The flooring system of the home exhibits signs of unusual movement and/or unevenness. Refer also to the Structural Components section of this report. RECOMMENDATIONS I OBSERVATIONS Minor cracks in the interior ceiling finish were noted. 0 Common settling cracks (less than '/4 of an inch wide) in the walls were noted. The ceiling in various locations shows evidence of staining. This condition is suspected to be the result of roof leakage. The walls in the living room show evidence of staining and loose plaster. The floor in various locations has a noticeable squeak. Floor slopes are apparent in various locations. Sagging floors are apparent in various locations. 0 The fireplace chimney should be inspected by a CSIA certified chimney specialist prior to operation. Q The ceiling rot at the front entrance should be repaired Other Components Q The door bell is inoperative. Environmental Issues Lead based paint was in use until approximately 1978. A lead hazard could be present in a house of this age. This can only be confirmed by laboratory analysis. For more information, consult the Environmental Protection Agency (E.P.A.) Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can result from a faulty fuel burning furnace, water heater and all gas appliances. Proper maintenance of these appliances is imperative to reduce the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. I strongly recommend that a digital carbon monoxide detector be installed immediately upon taking possession of the home. For more information, consult the Consumer Product Safety Commission at 1-800-638-2772 (C.P.S.C.). DISCRETIONARY IMPROVEMENTS Operational smoke detectors are recommended outside sleeping areas within the home. LIMITATIONS OF INTERIOR INSPECTION As prescribed in the pre -inspection contract, this is a visual inspection only. Assessing the quality and condition of interior finishes is highly subjective. Issues such as cleanliness, cosmetic flaws, quality of materials, architectural appeal and color are outside the scope of this inspection. Comments will be general, except where functional concerns exist. No comment is offered on the extent of cosmetic repairs that may be needed after removal of existing wall hangings and furniture. The inspection of the interior was limited by (but not restricted to) the following conditions: • Furniture, storage, appliances and/or wall hangings restricted the inspection of the interior. • No water related items could be inspected.

The recommendations below are in random order and do not suggest any importance of priority. This is not a complete listing of all recommendations contained within the report. Please be sure to closely examine the entire report RECOMMENDATIONS / OBSERVATIONS Q Evidence of termite activity was observed in various locations.

Q The windows in various locations are dilapidated and should be replaced. Q Damaged screens were noted on windows. Q The basement door and frame need replacement, the are badly rotted. Q One of 3 purlins at the front is rotted and needs repair. Q The service wires above at the mast head need completion by N.E.C. standards. This confidential report is prepared exclusively for Ms. Lisa Cornwell 0 2001 The Pridemen Team 900 Rock, LR Page 14 of 14 ❑x Older knob and tube wiring in the attic was observed to be connected to new wiring. Such connections are often suspect. It is recommended that this area be further investigated. It may be wise to replace the older knob and tube wiring. There is no main electrical disconnect. Standards require that by standing in one location that a maximum of 6 hand movements is allowed to turn off all the power to the home.. Q The fuse box and wires are unsafe and needs correction. 0 Ungrounded 3 prong outlet(s) in various locations should be corrected. Sometimes a practical solution can be as simple as filling the ground slot with epoxy. Alternatively, a grounded cable could be strung to this outlet or a separate ground wire could be connected. 0 The ungrounded outlet(s) in the kitchen within 6 feet of a water basin (sink) must be corrected. This is a serious safety concern. A grounded cable could be strung to this outlet, or a separate ground wire could be connected. The most practical solution in many cases is the installation of a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). ❑x The ungrounded outlet(s)in the bathroom should be improved. This is a serious safety concern. A grounded cable could be strung to this outlet, or a separate ground wire could be connected. The installation of a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet is in many cases the most practical solution El The reversed polarity outlet(s) in the over hed light fixture in the rear bathroom need correction.. The wires should be reversed and tested.. x❑ The slope of the exhaust flue (both fumaces)does not appear to be sufficient to allow the safe flow of exhaust gases. This condition should be evaluated by a qualified licensed heating technician. Q Attic insulation improvements are highly recommended. This will reduce heating costs and help keep the home cooler during warm weather. R 30 is recommended. There is none present. Q The level of attic ventilation in the main attic should be improved. It is generally recommended that one (1) square foot of free vent area be provided for every one hundred and fifty (150) square feet of ceiling area. Proper ventilation will help to keep the house cooler during warm weather and extend the life of roofing materials. Q A moisture barrier should be installed on the crawl space floor throughout. Q Older galvanized steel piping is subject to corrosion on the interior of the pipe that can release rust particles resulting in leaky faucets. Simple replacement of faucet washers can usually solve this problem. However in aging systems the seats may have to be resurfaced or the fixture replaced. Q The copper supply pipe lacks adequate support. 0 The location of the water heater is considered unsafe. This situation should be remedied for improved safety. The height of the flame must be at least 18 inches above the floor. 0 The size of the discharge pipe serving the water heater is too small. It is important that it be the same size of the female fitting of the TPR valve. The pipe should be terminated between 6 and 24 inches above the floor or outside the home. 0 The water heater venting system shows evidence of exhaust "spillage". This is a serious condition that could be a health threat to the occupants of the home. This condition should be addressed promptly. El The vent pipe serving the water heater appears not to have a rise of/4 of an inch per foot . This should be corrected to insure proper draw and safety. Q When all visible valves were on there was no water flow in the home. A plumber needs to contacted. ❑x The fireplace chimney should be inspected by a CSIA certified chimney specialist prior to operation. Q The ceiling rot at the front entrance should be repaired Q The door bell is inoperative.
