SUMMARY REPORT
Note: This analysis is not meant to be technically exhaustive but rather to highlight areas where repairs are needed or areas of long-term future concern relating to maintenance and operation.
This summary lists items taken from the main report that we feel need immediate attention or consideration. It is entirely the customer's decision whether or not to include additional items from the main report that they may have concerns about.
Further, the Summary is not a substitute for reading and understanding the complete report .
PLUMBING SYSTEM
When reference is made to the type of plumbing, the comment relies on a visual observation, seller
statements, the presence or absence of a water bond, and what may be present in the way of notification
in the electrical service panel. There is no non-invasive way to determine what is behind a closed wall. For
example, when copper plumbing is identified, copper piping protrudes from the walls behind plumbing
fixtures. If client requires absolute knowledge as to the type of plumbing throughout the home, then a
consultation with a licensed plumbing contractor is recommended.
Please note: Inspectors are not required to determine the source of the water supply or operate any valve
except water closet flush valves, fixture faucets, and hose bibs. Solar systems, septic systems, wells, filters,
conditioners, yard watering systems and fire sprinkler systems are not part of this inspection.
Please note: Water stop valves and overflows are not checked for function during a home inspection.
Fixtures and trim are observed for function only and not for cosmetic value.
The drain assembly is inoperable at the bathtub. Recommendation: Replace the drain assembly.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The smoke alarms were tested and found to be working in the manner intended at the time of the
inspection.
A representative number of switches and receptacles that are readily accessible are tested for function.
Determination of adequacy of electrical panels and current capacity are not within the scope of this
report. Low voltage systems, stereos, intercoms, vacuum systems, security systems or other low voltage
systems are not inspected and are not within the scope of a home inspection.
The left switch on the entry wall to the living room does not appear to control anything. Recommendaiotn:
Consult the seller for details.

The inspection and inspection report are offered as an opinion only. Although every reasonable effort is made to discover and correctly interpret indications of previous or ongoing defects that may be present, it must be understood that no guarantee is implied nor responsibility assumed by the inspector or inspection company, for the actual condition of the building or property being examined. Additional information as to inspection standards is included at the end of the report.
