WOOD DESTROYING ORGANISM INSPECTION STANDARDS of the WASHINGTON STATE PEST MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION

COMPLETE WOOD DESTROYING ORGANISM (WDO) INSPECTION REPORT.

This report is prepared from an inspection conducted by a Washington State Department of Agriculture licensed Structural Pest Inspector in accordance with Washington Administrative Code 16-228-2005 through 16-228-2045. Opinions contained herein are based on conditions visible and evident at the time of the inspection. This report does not warrant, represent, or guarantee that the structure reported on is free from evidence of WDO's, their damage, or conditions conducive to WDO's; nor does it represent or guarantee that the total damage, infestation, or infection is limited to that disclosed in this report.

I. INSPECTION PROCEDURES

The inspector shall make a thorough inspection, using accepted methods and practices, of the subject to render an opinion on the presence of, or damage from WDO's as well an conditions conducive to such WDO's.

AREAS INSPECTED shall include: structural exterior (accessible both visibly and physically to an inspector at ground level); accessible structure interior; accessible sub structural crawl space(s); garages, carports and decks which are attached to the structure. Deck inspection shall include; railings, wooden steps, and accessible wooden surface materials, as well as deck substructures which are accessible (those with at least a 5 foot soil to joist clearance, or elevated decks which can be suitably reached using a 6 foot step ladder).

WOOD DESTROYING ORGANISMS shall include: subterranean termites; dampwood termites; carpenter ants; moisture ants; wood boring beetles of the family Anobiidae; and wood decay fungus (rot). The inspector will not assume any

responsibility for WDO's that were not detected during their dormant season. When evidence of moisture ants, dampwood termites, wood infesting anobiids, or wood decay fungi is detected during a Complete WDO Inspection, the inspector must identify and report the condition(s) conducive to such infestations. It must be stated in the report that such infestations may be eliminated by removal of all infested wood and correction of any contributing conducive conditions.

CONDUCIVE CONDITIONS, as determined by the inspector, shall include, but not be limited to: inadequate clearance; earth to wood contact; conducive debris in the crawl space; inadequate ventilation; excessive moisture; vegetation contact with

(10)

the structure; bare ground in the crawl space; existing or seasonal standing water in the crawl space; failed caulking or grout in water splash areas; and/or non-functioning gutter systems.

II. LIMITATIONS OF INSPECTIONS

The inspecting firm shall not be held responsible by any party for any condition or consequence of WDO's which is beyond the scope of inspection. The scope, 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

(11)

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.

(12)

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.

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.

This report is intended only as a general guide to help the client make his own evaluation of the overall

condition of the home, and is not intended to reflect the value of the premises, nor make any

representation as to the advisability of purchase. The report expresses the personal opinions of the

inspector, based upon his visual impressions of the conditions that existed at the time of the inspection

only. The inspection and report are not intended to be technically exhaustive, or to imply that every

component was inspected, or that every possible defect was discovered. No disassembly of equipment,

opening of walls, moving of furniture, appliances or stored items, or excavation was performed. All

components and conditions which by the nature of their location are concealed, camouflaged or difficult

to inspect are excluded from the report.

Systems and conditions which are not within the scope of the building inspection include, but are not

limited to: formaldehyde, lead paint, asbestos, toxic or flammable materials, and other environmental

hazards; pest infestation, playground equipment, efficiency measurement of insulation or heating and

cooling equipment, internal or underground drainage or plumbing, any systems which are shut down or

otherwise secured; water wells (water quality and quantity) zoning ordinances; intercoms; security

systems; heat sensors; cosmetics or building code conformity. Any general comments about these

systems and conditions are informational only and do not represent an inspection.

The inspection report should not be construed as a compliance inspection of any governmental or non

governmental codes or regulations. The report is not intended to be a warranty or guarantee of the

present or future adequacy or performance of the structure, its systems, or their component parts. This

report does not constitute any express or implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for use

regarding the condition of the property and it should not be relied upon as such. Any opinions

expressed regarding adequacy, capacity, or expected life of components are general estimates based on

information about similar components and occasional wide variations are to be expected between such

estimates and actual experience.

We certify that our inspectors have no interest, present or contemplated, in this property or its

improvement and no involvement with tradespeople or benefits derived from any sales or

improvements. To the best of our knowledge and belief, all statements and information in this report

are true and correct.

Should any disagreement or dispute arise as a result of this inspection or report, it shall be decided by

arbitration and shall be submitted for binding, non-appealable arbitration to the American Arbitration

(18)

Association in accordance with its Construction Industry Arbitration Rules then obtaining, unless the

parties mutually agree otherwise. In the event of a claim, the Client will allow the Inspection Company

to inspect the claim prior to any repairs or waive the right to make the claim. Client agrees not to

disturb or repair or have repaired anything which may constitute evidence relating to the complaint,

except in the case of an emergency.

(19)

EXTERIOR

Areas hidden from view by finished walls or stored items can not be judged and are not a part of this

inspection. Minor cracks are typical in many foundations and most do not represent a structural

problem. If major cracks are present along with bowing, we routinely recommend further evaluation be

made by a qualified structural engineer. All exterior grades should allow for surface and roof water to

flow away from the foundation. All concrete floor slabs experience some degree of cracking due to

shrinkage in the drying process. In most instances floor coverings prevent recognition of cracks or

settlement in all but the most severe cases. Where carpeting and other floor coverings are installed, the

materials and condition of the flooring underneath cannot be determined.

Water quality or hazardous materials (lead) testing is available from local testing labs. All underground

piping related to water supply, waste, or sprinkler use are excluded from this inspection. Leakage or

corrosion in underground piping cannot be detected by a visual inspection. The temperature pressure

relief valve, at the upper portion of the water heater, is a required safety valve which should be

connected to a drain line of proper size terminating just above floor elevation. If no drain is located in

the floor a catch pan should be installed with a drain extending to a safe location. The steam caused by

a blow-off can cause scalding. Improper installations should be corrected.

For SAFETY ( Protect gas valve from auto impacts)

ECU UNIT:

An energy conservation unit (ECU) was observed. It is an apparatus at the condenser unit designed to transfer waste heat from the condenser part of the air conditioner outside to the water heater to help heat water. This device helps the water heater and the air conditioner system both work more efficiently. Units of this type cost $600 or so to have installed. Unit was operational when inspected as it's pipes were circulating heated water & it was leak free when inspected.

FUEL SYSTEM:

METER/TANK LOCATION-CONDITION:

(37)

HVAC

The inspector is not equipped to inspect furnace heat exchangers for evidence of cracks or holes, as this

can only be done by dismantling the unit. This is beyond the scope of this inspection. Some furnaces

are designed in such a way that inspection is almost impossible. The inspector can not light pilot lights.

Safety devices are not tested by the inspector.

NOTE: Asbestos materials have been commonly used in heating systems.

Determining the presence of asbestos can ONLY be preformed by laboratory testing and is beyond the

scope of this inspection. Thermostats are not checked for calibration or timed functions. Adequacy,

efficiency or the even distribution of air throughout a building cannot be addressed by a visual

inspection. Electronic air cleaners, humidifiers and de-humidifiers are beyond the scope of this

inspection. Have these systems evaluated by a qualified individual. The inspector does not perform

pressure tests on coolant systems, therefore no representation is made regarding coolant charge or line

integrity. Subjective judgment of system capacity is not a part of the inspection. Normal service and

maintenance is recommended on a yearly basis. Determining the condition of oil tanks, whether

exposed or buried, is beyond the scope of this inspection. Leaking oil tanks represent an environmental

hazard which is sometimes costly to remedy.

Any electrical repairs attempted by anyone other than a licensed electrician should be approached with

caution. The power to the entire house should be turned off prior to beginning any repair efforts, no

matter how trivial the repair may seen. Aluminum wiring requires periodic inspection and maintenance

by a licensed electrician. Operation of time clock motors is not verified. Inoperative light fixtures

often lack bulbs or have dead bulbs installed. Light bulbs are not changed during the inspection, due to

time constraints. Smoke Alarms should be installed within 15 feet of all bedroom doors, and tested

regularly.
