[Member Name Removed], I will review the report and available information and address your concerns. Sincerely, Michael Patton [Member Name Removed] After reviewing the inspection report with the limited information that you have provided in this review the inspection report identified that action should be taken prior to finalizing the purchase contract and or closing on the property as follows. The report recommends action by a Heating and Cooling Contractor, Roofing Contractor, Identifies the lack of an expansion tank associated with the water heater and the lack of a visible regulator suggesting these may be needed. Ge Water heater, the manufacturers manual does not reference elevating the tank. As far as I know this is a preference only. The following is a hot link to the GE Manual for your water heater. [Removed Hyperlink] I am willing to discuss these items with you. Sincerely, Michael Patton The beginning of the report has a legend, I have removed all but the ones calling for action: The following definitions are of the comment descriptions used in this inspection report. Any recommendations by the inspector to repair or replace suggests a second opinion or further assessment by a qualified licensed professional in their respective profession or trade action should be taken prior to finalizing the purchase contract and or closing on the property, this is the client's responsibility. Repair (R) = The item, component or unit is not functioning as intended, or needs further evaluation/assessment by a qualified contractor. Items, components or units that can be repaired to satisfactory condition may not need replacement. Recommend action prior to finalizing the purchase contract and or closing on the property, this is the client's responsibility. Safety (SA) = The item, component or unit does not conform to modern safety practices. Items may function however do not provide modern safety characteristics; recommend repair or improvement at the customers discretion. Recommend action prior to finalizing the purchase contract and or closing on the property, this is the client's responsibility. Maintenance (M) = The item, component or unit is functional, however suggested routine care is needed. Information = Clarify a condition and or advise the customer of continued monitoring. Further Assessment = Examination and analysis by a qualified professional, tradesman, or service technician beyond that provided by the home inspection. Recommend action prior to finalizing the purchase contract and or closing on the property, this is the client's responsibility. REPORT Summary: 8.0 HEATING EQUIPMENT 8.0 (2) Repair: Within the home, coil fins are blocked within the furnace unit. This appears to be due to running the unit without a filter as no filter is present. Unit has not been recently serviced. If not corrected, this may result in damage/failure of the unit. Recommend a licensed HVAC contractor to further assess HVAC system and clean/correct as needed. In the body of the report not in the summary: 8.0 (3) Information: OK, Ambient air test was performed at the air handler to determine if the difference in temperatures of the supply and return air are between 14 degrees and 22 degrees which indicates unit is cooling as intended. The system checked within this range indicating that it is cooling properly. Pictures of thermometer showing the correct function of the unit at the time of the inspection are included in the report. 3.0 ROOF SYSTEM 3.0 ROOF COVERINGS - ASPHALT / FIBERGLASS Repair: Multiple shingles are lifted and not sealed properly, these are susceptible to wind damage. Recommend a qualified roofing contractor to further assess roof coverings and associated components and correct as needed. 3.3 ROOF PENETRATIONS Repair: Plumbing vent pipe(s) (two) (through the roof) flashing has failed/deteriorated around the vent pipe. This area is subject to leaking and causing interior damage, correct as needed. (These seals commonly fail within 7 years of installation) 3.4 ATTIC / ROOF VENTS Repair: Ridge vents two or more, are missing end caps, these are to prevent insects, birds and water entry. Correct as needed. 9.1 THERMAL EXPANSION TANK (for the hot water system) Not Present Information: The water heater does not have a "Thermal Expansion tank" installed to prevent a possible leak at the T&P (Temperature & Pressure) valve, faucets dripping and or water hammering. Current good practice suggests installing one when a new water heater is installed. Signs of these concerns were not identified during the inspection. If signs of these concerns start occurring, then a thermal expansion tank may be needed, if this does occur I recommend further evaluation by a licensed plumber. MAIN WATER LINE PRESSURE REGULATOR: REGULATOR IS NOT VISIBLE
