Report Sections
Items needing attention
One photo, one plain-language summary, and the recommended trade. The full technical detail follows in each section.
Missing Discharge Pipe at Relief Valve
The temperature and pressure relief valve was not fitted with a discharge pipe. This is a safety concern, as a discharging valve could release scalding water at the valve location. Recommend this is further evaluated and addressed.
Deteriorated Chimney Crown
Cracking and surface deterioration were observed at the chimney crown. This can be a moisture entry point over time. Recommend this is further evaluated and addressed by a qualified contractor.
Missing Post Cap / Connection Detail
A post-to-beam connection at the rear deck was not fitted with a proper cap or bracket. Recommend this is further evaluated and addressed to confirm the connection is adequate.
Exterior
- Areas of the exterior concealed by vegetation, stored items, or snow cover were not inspected.
- The inspection is visual and does not include destructive investigation behind the cladding.
- Below-grade portions of the foundation are not visible and are outside the scope of this inspection.
Missing Post Cap / Connection Detail
A post-to-beam connection at the rear deck was not fitted with a proper cap or bracket. Over time, an inadequate connection can allow movement at the joint. Recommend this is further evaluated and addressed by a qualified contractor.
Minor Finish Wear at Cladding
Minor weathering and finish wear were observed on the right elevation. No active deficiency was noted at the time of inspection. Recommend this is monitored and refinished as part of routine maintenance.
Plumbing
Visible supply piping, drainage, fixtures, and the water heater were inspected. Functional flow and drainage were confirmed at a representative sample of fixtures. The water heater was operating at the time of inspection, with the item below noted for attention.
Missing Discharge Pipe at Relief Valve
The temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve was not fitted with a discharge pipe directed safely toward the floor. This is a safety concern, as a discharging valve could release scalding water at the valve location. Recommend this is further evaluated and addressed by a qualified plumber.
- Concealed piping within walls, floors, and ceilings is not visible and was not inspected.
- Water quality, well, and septic components are outside the scope of this inspection unless separately noted.

The exterior was inspected from ground level, including the siding, trim, windows, doors, grading, and the rear deck. Overall the cladding and trim were in serviceable condition for the age of the home, with isolated items noted below.
Grading around the foundation was generally acceptable, sloping away from the structure on most elevations. Routine maintenance of caulking and exterior finishes will help preserve the building envelope going forward.
