(Name and License Number of Inspector) (Date)

The inspection of the property listed above must be performed in compliance with the rules of the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC).

The inspection is of conditions, which are present and visible at the time of the inspection, and all of the equipment is operated in normal modes. The inspector must indicate which items are in need of repair or are not functioning and will report on all applicable items required by TREC rules.

This report is intended to provide you with information concerning the condition of the property at the time of inspection. Please read the report carefully. If any item is unclear, you should request the inspector to provide clarification.

It is recommended that you obtain as much history as is available concerning this property. This historical information may include copies of any seller’s disclosures, previous inspection or engineering reports, reports performed for or by relocation companies, municipal inspection departments, lenders, insurers, and appraisers. You should attempt to determine whether repairs, renovation, remodeling, additions or other such activities have taken place at this property.

Property conditions change with time and use. Since this report is provided for the specific benefit of the client(s),

secondary readers of this information should hire a licensed inspector to perform an inspection to meet their specific needs and to obtain current information concerning this property.

function for which it was intended. If you have questions, we will explain what we saw about the item. We do not inspect any item that we cannot see in a normal inspection. For example, we do not move insulation, furniture, rugs, paintings, or appliances. We do not uncover buried pipes or items we cannot see which are covered by wall or floor coverings. Repairs or remodeling may hide evidence of prior damage or defects. We do not dismantle equipment (other than inspection panels) to inspect component parts. There is no responsibility expressed or implied for latent defects, or for defects not reasonably observable at the time of the inspection, or for defects that would require the removal of major or permanent coverings for observation. We do not inspect for building codes, soil analysis, and adequacy of design, capacity, efficiency, size, value, flood plain location, pollution or habitability. Please remember that older houses may not meet the same standards as new houses, even though items in both might be performing functions for which they are intended.

The following items are not inspected, unless specifically requested and listed on the report. Any item not considered real property, appliances not built in, fences, gates, draperies, blinds, shutters, hardware, Formica, marble, tile, floor or wall coverings, air conditioning systems when the outside temperature is below 60 degrees, refrigerant leaks in system, leaks in condensate drain, sprinkler system in automatic mode or when outside temperature is below 32 degrees, washing machine drain, cosmetic condition of structure, swimming pool cosmetics or leakage, pool sweep, alarm systems, sewer lines or septic system, water well, solar heating system, water conditioning system, asbestos, radon gas, lead paint, and smoke detector.

The following items are common problems found after a house has been vacant for a week or more, and this company will not be responsible for: (1) Sewer and drain lines stopping up. (2) Seals, or washers drying out and causing leaks in faucets, dishwashers, valves or any other plumbing fixture. (3) Garbage disposals locking up. (4) Gas water heaters and gas furnaces – if gas has been turned off thermocouple (pilot generators) fail. (5) Electric water heaters which have been drained, but power left on, may have damage to heating elements and thermostats. (6) Foundations should be watered if house is vacant; we recommend at least once a week and twice a week in the hot dry season. If this suggestion is not followed, foundation problems can easily develop in a very short period.

Buyer agrees to notify METROSPECTOR in writing of any complaints within thirty (30) days of the date of the inspection and must thereafter allow prompt re-inspection of the item. Buyer further agrees that METROSPECTOR can either conduct the re-inspection or can employ others (at its expense) to re-inspect the property or both.
