2 Report Summary Page

This is only a summary of the inspection report and is not a complete list of discrepancies.

CommentCondition#Section

Grounds 3 The trees on the south and east side of the home should be trimmed

back so they are not touching or overhanging the home.

Exterior 4 The deck railing is not supported using any support post. The entire

railing is built out of balusters. There should be a support post for the

railing every six feet.

The south support post have been added onto meaning the deck was

raised by stacking a 4x4 on top of the existing 4x4 post. These will

need to be either replaced or metal strapping added to hold them

together.

The south corner of the deck is sloping and some leveling may be

required. It is suggested that a "Licensed General Contractor" be

contacted for further evaluation and repair.

Exterior 7 The thermal pane window(s) at appear to have lost its / their thermal

seal at the south living room windows. Moisture, fogging, and hazing

are common signs of this condition. While mostly cosmetic, this

condition is generally not repairable. Correction would require

replacement of the window(s) or window pane(s). These windows

go all the way to the ground and will need to be a tempered window

when replaced.

The basement bathroom window is broken and will need replaced.

Exterior 8 The exterior north door out of the dining rooms hardware did not

work at time of inspection.

Roofing 11 The roof covering shows normal wear for its age and appeared to be

in serviceable condition at the time of the inspection.

On the south side of the roof there was some debris that need to be

removed.

Roofing 13 I recommend extending the gutters drain pipe that is draining off

under the deck. These are pouring out under the deck and can wash

out dirt that is supporting the support post.

Roofing 14 There is a roof leak around the plumbing stack on the west side of the

6 34/


home over the master bedroom. There is also signs of moisture on

the sheathing on the west side of the attic over the master bedroom.

Upon further inspection the vent fan for the master bath does not vent

out and is putting moisture into the attic. It is suggested that a

"Licensed Roofing Contractor" be contacted for further evaluation

and repair.

Heating - Air 20 The AC was not tested due to the temperature outside. Testing below

65 degrees can cause harm to the system.

Plumbing 27 T P R (temperature pressure relief) valve overflow pipe was missing

at the time of the inspection. Recommend installation of an extension

pipe for increased safety. Client should consult a licensed plumber

for additional information. The water heater is from 2008.

Interiors 34 Reverse polarity was noted at outlet(s) located at the east living room,

basement bathroom and upstairs south bedroom. Reverse polarity,

(hot and ground / neutral reversed) are usually corrected by minor

wiring adjustments at the specified item. However, when a number

of these conditions are observed, client should consult a licensed

electrician.

Interiors 38 The gas fireplace pilot was not lit or fuel / gas was turned off. The

gas fireplace could not be fully inspected. Lighting of pilots or

adjustments of automatic ignition systems is not performed as part of

this inspection. Client is advised to obtain information from the

manufacturer regarding use, maintenance, and carbon monoxide risks,

if any.

Bath(s) 58 Cracked glass pane(s) were observed at basement bathroom.

Recommend repair as needed.

Bath(s) 60 GFIC (Ground Fault Interrupter Circuit) receptacle circuit (a safety

device for outlets near water) recommended at all bathroom outlets.

Bath(s) 62 Window vent only in the upstairs bathroom. I recommend adding a

vent fan.

Bath(s) 65 The bathtub faucet in the upstairs bath is dripping out of the handle

and I recommend caulking around where the shower head comes out

of the shower surround.

Basement 74 There are two open junction boxes at the ceiling in the basement and

an outlet that is missing its cover. All these should be covers

installed.

defined in Section I, INSPECTION PROCEDURES, is limited as follows:

(a) INACCESSIBLE AREAS: Certain areas of a structure, which are inaccessible by their nature, may be subject to infestation by WDO's yet cannot be inspected

without excavation or unless physical obstructions are removed. Such areas include, but are not limited to: wall voids; spaces between floors; substructures concealed

by sub-floor insulation or those with inadequate clearance; floors beneath coverings; sleeper floors; areas concealed by furniture, appliances, and/or personal

possessions; and deck substructures with less that 5 foot clearance. (b) ROOF SYSTEMS AND ATTIC AREAS: Roof systems, roof coverings and attic areas are excluded from this report. This report may note, at the discretion of the

inspector, visual evidence of infestation and/or infections of WDO's in the portions of the eaves that are visible and accessible from the ground. Nor opinion is rendered

nor guarantee implied concerning the watertight integrity, the condition, or the future life of the roof system. Any comment(s) made regarding an obvious condition of

(a) component(s) of the roof system or attic space(s) shall not imply an extension to the scope of inspection. If a more qualified opinion is desired, the services of a licensed roof system professional should be obtained.

(c) SHEDS AND OUTBUILDINGS: Sheds, garages, carports, decks and other structures, which are not attached to the main structure by a roof system or foundation,

are excluded from this report unless specifically requested and noted. The inspecting firm reserves the right to charge additionally to inspect any unattached structures.

(d) CLIMATIC CONDITIONS: In certain geographical areas of Washington State where wet climate is common, and due to their construction and materials,

structures may be subject to conditions from normal weathering. Such conditions as cracking, checking, and/or warping of doors, window casings, siding, and non-supporting wooden members shall not be reported on inspection reports except at the discretion of the inspector. Inspectors are not required to report on any wood

destroying organism infestation, infection, or other condition that might be subject to seasonal constraints or environmental conditions if evidence of those constraints

or conditions is not visible at the time of the inspection.

(e) MOLD: Molds, mildews, and other fungal growth (except wood decay fungi) shall be reported on only to the extent that they indicate an excessive moisture

condition which may be conducive to WDO's. The inspector is not liable or responsible for determining the type of mold, mildew, or other fungi present, nor shall the inspector be liable or responsible for determining the possible health hazards associated with the presence of molds, mildews, or other fungi. This report is not, nor shall

the inspector perform a mold inspection or investigation. If a more qualified opinion is desired, the services of a toxicologist or certified industrial hygienist should be

obtained.

(f) STRUCTURAL ASSESSMENT: While it may be possible for the inspector to note damaged materials, neither the inspector nor the inspection firm is liable or

responsible in any way to determine the structural integrity of any building materials. If a more qualified opinion is desired, the services of a licensed, qualified contractor or structural engineer should be obtained.

(g) REMAINING EVIDENCE: In certain situations, it may not be practical to eliminate all evidence of previous WDO activity (e.g., carpenter ant frass, insect parts,

or subterranean termite scaling), or evidence of conducive conditions, (e.g., water staining). Although noted, this evidence may remain after corrections have been made

or if it is the inspector's opinion that the evidence is from inactive WDOs and no corrections are recommended. Neither the inspector nor the inspecting firm shall be

liable or responsible for any corrective action required by future inspections in regards to this remaining evidence. III. REPORTS

(a) WRITTEN REPORT: The inspecting firm shall not issue any complete wood destroying organism report unless a Washington State Department of Agriculture

licensed structural pest inspector from that firm has made a careful and thorough inspection of the structure in conformance with and subject to the limitations within

these standards. Reports shall include a diagrams and a description of the findings to help identify locations of the findings as well as inaccessible areas not identified in

section II (a) of these standards. IV. WORK RECOMMENDATIONS AND TREATMENTS

(a) NO WARRANTIES OF CORRECTIVE WORK: Neither the inspector nor the inspecting firm will evaluate or warranty the quality of workmanship, the

compliance with any applicable building codes, nor the suitability of use or any repairs, corrections, or treatments recommended within this report. Compliance with

Washington State pesticide application laws and applicable building codes (current revisions) is the responsibility of the property owner and those performing the work.

It is strongly recommended that those parties performing any corrections or treatments be licensed, bonded and qualified professionals providing warranted services. (b) CONDITIONS REVEALED DURING THE PERFORMANCE OF RECOMMENDATIONS: Should any WDO damage, or conducive condition be revealed

during the performance of any recommendations, whether performed by the owner, the purchaser, a contractor, or any other party of interest, the inspecting firm must

be notified of such, and be given a reasonable opportunity for re-inspecting and determining the need for any additional corrective measures before such conditions are

covered. The owner, purchaser, or any other person performing the work shall be responsible for notifying the inspector. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the

inspecting firm from assessing additional charges for each additional inspection.

NOTE: The Washington State Pest Management Association (WSPMA), as a service to inspection firms, has developed this form and these Standards of Practice. By

doing so, the WSPMA does not certify that the inspecting firm is a member of the WSPMA, or that the inspector is qualified to perform the inspection/. The WSPMA

shall not be a party to any claim or action by the buyer, seller, or other interested party against the inspecting firm solely by reason of making this report form and these

Standards of Practice available for use.

Findings

Inactive Anobiid Beetle: Around the crawl space entrance on the north side of the

home there is some Anobiid beetle damage. This looks to be from an old

infestation and is inactive. This damage is not structural and was only seen in this

area.

Important information about the attached

Complete Wood Destroying Organism Inspection Report.

Beginning January 1, 2004 the Washington State Pest Management Association has adopted a new

format for the Complete Wood Destroying Organism Inspection Report. This new format was

prompted, in part, by recent changes to Washington State Laws and Rules that pertain to Structural Pest

Inspections, (RCW 15.58.450 and WAC 16-228-2005 through 16-228-2045), and by changes in market

expectations. These changes were a cooperative effort involving members of all affected industries;

inspectors, real estate professionals, and lenders. This new inspection report format is easier to

understand, easier to enforce, and provides better protection for the consumer.

Washington State laws and rules do not recognize any difference between a “Preliminary Report” and a

“Final Report”. Therefore, this reporting format has been eliminated. There will only be one report: the

Complete Wood Destroying Organism Inspection Report. If you have questions regarding these changes,

contact the Washington State Pest Control Association (1-800-253-3836).

For your protection you are encouraged to have all findings corrected by licensed and bonded

contractors and to obtain and keep copies of all repair receipts. You may also elect to obtain a report

with “NO” findings. A report with “NO” findings does not indicate that the inspector is approving of

any work done to eliminate previously reported findings. It only indicates that there are no findings at

the time of the inspection. It must also be understood that remaining evidence may exist after all repairs

and corrections have been made. This evidence, while required to be reported, may be inconsequential.

The attached Washington State Pest Management Association Complete Wood Destroying

Organism Inspection Report Form has been reviewed by the Washington State Department of

Agriculture. The Department agrees that with an accurate inspection, and when filled out

properly, this form can meet the Wood Destroying Organism Inspection Reporting Criteria

found in WAC 16-228-2005 through 16-228-2045.
