Overview
WHI Home Inspection Services strives to perform all inspections in substantial compliance with the Standards of
Practice as set forth by the State of Florida. As such, we inspect the readily accessible, visually observable, installed
systems and components of the home as designated in these Standards of Practice. When systems or components
designated in the Standards of Practice were present but were not inspected, the reason(s) the item was not inspected
will be stated. This inspection is neither technically exhaustive or quantitative.
This report contains observations of those systems and components that, in my professional judgement, were not
functioning properly, significantly deficient, or unsafe. All items in this report that were designated for repair,
replacement, maintenance, or further evaluation should be investigated by qualified tradespeople within
the clients contingency period, to determine a total cost of said repairs and to learn of any additional problems that
may be present during these evaluations that were not visible during a "visual only" Home Inspection.
This inspection will not reveal every concern or issue that may be present, but only those significant defects that were
accessible and visible at the time of inspection. This inspection can not predict future conditions, or determine if latent
or concealed defects are present. The statements made in this report reflect the conditions as existing at the time of
inspection only, and expire at the completion of the inspection, as conditions can change. Weather conditions and
other changes in conditions may reveal problems that were not present at the time of inspection; including but not
limited to: roof leaks, or water infiltration. Refer to the State of Florida Standards of Practice, and the Inspection
agreement regarding the scope and limitations of this inspection.
This inspection is NOT intended to be considered as a GUARANTEE OR WARRANTY, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
regarding the operation, function, or future reliability of the home and it's components. AND IT SHOULD
NOT BE RELIED ON AS SUCH. This inspection report should be used alongside the sellers disclosure, pest inspection
(WDI) report, and quotes and advice from the tradespeople recommended in this report to gain a better
understanding of the condition of the home. Some risk is always involved when purchasing a property and
unexpected repairs should be anticipated, as this is unfortunately, a part of home ownership. One Year Home
Warranties are sometimes provided by the sellers, and are highly recommended as they will cover future repairs on
major items and components of the home. If a warranty is not being provided by the seller(s), your Realtor can advise
you of companies who offer them.

Items Not Inspected and Other Limitations


ITEMS NOT INSPECTED - There are items that are not inspected in a home inspection such as, but not limited to;
fences and gates, pools and spas, outbuildings or any other detached structure, refrigerators, washers / dryers, storm

WHI Home Inspection Services Page 4 of 96


1806 Cincinnati Ave Jake Powers

doors and storm windows, screens, window AC units, central vacuum systems, water softeners, alarm and intercom
systems, and any item that is not a permanent attached component of the home. Also drop ceiling tiles are not
removed, as they are easily damaged, and this is a non-invasive inspection. Subterranean systems are also excluded,
such as but not limited to: sewer lines, septic tanks, water delivery systems, and underground fuel storage tanks.
Water and gas shut off valves are not operated under any circumstances. As well, any component or appliance that is
unplugged or "shut off" is not turned on or connected for the sake of evaluation. I do not have knowledge as to why a
component may be shut down, and cannot be liable for damages that may result from activating said
components/appliances.
Also not reported on are the causes of the need for a repair; The methods, materials, and costs of corrections; The
suitability of the property for any specialized use; Compliance or non-compliance with codes, ordinances, statutes,
regulatory requirements or restrictions; The market value of the property or its marketability; The advisability or
inadvisability of purchase of the property; The insurability of the structure or any of its items or components, Any
component or system that was not observed; Calculate the strength, adequacy, design, or efficiency of any system or
component; Enter any area or perform any procedure that may damage the property or its components or be
dangerous to the home inspector or other persons; Operate any system or component that is shut down or otherwise
inoperable; Operate any system or component that does not respond to normal operating controls; Disturb
insulation, move personal items, panels, furniture, equipment, plant life, soil, snow, ice, or debris that obstructs access
or visibility.
Lastly a home inspection does not address environmental concerns such as, but not limited to: Asbestos, lead, lead
based paint, radon, mold, wood destroying insects or organisms (termites, etc), cockroaches, rodents, pesticides,
fungus, treated lumber, Chinese drywall, mercury, or carbon monoxide.

Further Evaluation Information


Further evaluation and repairs have been recommended on several items throughout the home. It is highly
recommended that these recommendations are followed, as these professionals can find latent or concealed defects
that would not have been visible during a visual only home inspection. A better understanding of repair and
replacement costs can also be garnered by consulting these professionals. Further, WHI may provide a general
estimate for repair costs associated with noted repairs. Any estimate given cannot nor should not be relied upon in
calculating any contingencies or reserves for repair. Any such estimate is a courtesy only and is based solely upon the
personal experience of the inspector and as such is not to be considered a formal or qualified estimate.

Comment Key - Definitions


This report divides deficiencies into three categories; Major Defects (in red), Marginal Defects (in orange ), and Minor
Defects/Maintenance Items/FYI (colored in blue ). Safety Hazards or Concerns will be listed in
the Red or Orange categories depending on their perceived danger, but should always be addressed ASAP.

Major Defects - Items or components that may require a major expense to correct. Items categorized in this
manner require further evaluation and repairs or replacement as needed by a Qualified Contractor prior to the
end of your contingency period.
Marginal Defects - Items or components that were found to include a deficiency. These items may have been
functional at the time of inspection, but this functionality may be impaired, not ideal, or the defect may lead to
further problems (most defects will fall into this categorization). Repairs or replacement is recommended to
items categorized in this manner for optimal performance and/or to avoid future problems or adverse
conditions that may occur due to the defect, prior to the end of your contingency period. Items categorized
in this manner typically require repairs from a Handyman or Qualified Contractor and are not considered routine
maintenance or DIY repairs.
Minor Defects/Maintenance Items/FYI - This categorization will include items or components that were found
to be in need of recurring or basic general maintenance and/or may need minor repairs which may improve their
functionality. This categorization will also include FYI items that could include observations, important information,
recommended upgrades to items, areas, or components, as well as items that were nearing, at, or past the end
of their typical service life, but were in the opinion of the inspector, still functional at the time of
inspection. Major repairs or replacement should be anticipated, and planned for, on any items that are designated
as being past, or at the end of their typical life. These repairs or replacement costs can sometimes represent a major
expense; i.e. HVAC systems, Water Heaters, Plumbing pipes, etc.

These categorizations are in my professional judgement and based on what I observed at the time of inspection. This
categorization should not be construed as to mean that items designated as "Minor defects" or "Marginal Defects" do
not need repairs or replacement. The recommendations in each comment is more important than its categorization.
Due to your perception, opinions, or personal experience you may feel defects belong in a different category, and you
should feel free to consider the importance you believe they hold during your purchasing decision. Once again it's the
"Recommendations" in the text of the comment pertaining to each defect that is paramount, not its categorical
placement.

document. This document is non-transferrable, in whole or in part, to any and all third-parties, including;
subsequent buyers, sellers, and listing agents. Copying and pasting deficiencies to prepare the repair request is
permitted. THE INFORMATION IN THIS REPORT SHALL NOT BE RELIED UPON BY ANY ONE OTHER THAN THE
CLIENT NAMED HEREIN. This report is governed by an Inspection agreement that contained the scope of the
inspection, including limitations, exclusions, and conditions of the copyright. Unauthorized recipients are advised to

Recommended Contractors Information


CONTRACTORS / FURTHER EVALUATION: It is recommended that licensed professionals be used for repair
issues as it relates to the comments in this report, and copies of receipts are kept for warranty purposes.
The use of the term "Qualified Person" in this report relates to an individual, company, or contractor whom is either
licensed or certified in the field of concern. If I recommend evaluation or repairs by contractors or other licensed
professionals, it is possible that they will discover additional problems since they will be invasive with their evaluation
and repairs. Any listed items in this report concerning areas reserved for such experts should not be construed as a
detailed, comprehensive, and/or exhaustive list of problems, or areas of concern.

CAUSES of DAMAGE / METHODS OF REPAIR: Any suggested causes of damage or defects, and methods of repair
mentioned in this report are considered a professional courtesy to assist you in better understanding the condition of
the home, and in my opinion only from the standpoint of a visual inspection, and should not be wholly relied upon.
Contractors or other licensed professionals will have the final determination on the causes of damage/deficiencies, and
the best methods of repairs, due to being invasive with their evaluation. Their evaluation will supersede the
information found in this report. Please note that WHI does not recommend contractors nor does it estimate value of
any noted repair or deficiency.

Other Notes - Important Info


INACCESSIBLE AREAS: In the report, there may be specific references to areas and items that were inaccessible or only
partly accessible. I can make no representations regarding conditions that may be present in these areas but were
concealed or inaccessible for review. With access and an opportunity for inspection, reportable conditions or hidden
damage may be found in these areas.
QUALITATIVE vs QUANTITATIVE - A home inspection is not quantitative, when multiple or similar parts of a system,
item, or component are found to have a deficiency, the deficiency will be noted in a qualitative manner such as
"multiple present" etc. A quantitative number of deficient parts, pieces, or items will not be given as the repairing
contractor will need to evaluate and ascertain the full amount or extent of the deficiency or damage. This is not a
technically exhaustive inspection.
COMPONENT LIFE EXPECTANCY - Components may be listed as having no deficiencies at the time of inspection, but
may fail at any time due to their age or lack of maintenance, that could not be determined by the inspector.
PHOTOGRAPHS: Several photos are included in your inspection report. These photos are for informational purposes
only and do not attempt to show every instance or occurrence of a defect.
TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS: This report is proofread before sending it out, but typographical errors may be present. If
any errors are noticed, please feel free to contact me for clarification.
Please acknowledge to me once you have completed reading the report. At that time I will be happy to
answer any questions you may have, or provide clarification. Non-acknowledgement implies that you
understood all information contained in this report.

Roof Views

Inspected by Drone
An aerial drone was used for the roof evaluation. When you utilize a drone for your rooftop inspection you have access
to pretty much any part of the building while the high-quality 4K images and optional video allows you to collect the
most accurate information. On top of that, youll be able to gather the information faster. It must almost be noted that
walking on the roof tiles or structure may causes damage which is avoided with drone photography. Drones provide a
simple way to record before and after shots of supplemental workmanship. Additionally, images can be captured
which shows angles and elevations that would be impossible to achieve with hand-held cameras from a conventional
inspection. If your roof has tile covering, it is not meant to be walked on once installed. Any comments made in this
report relating to the roof covering, roof protrusions, gutters, chimneys, etc. from the exterior is based on analysis
from high definition photographs taken by the drone.

Roof Limitations
The inspection of the roof and its covering material is limited to the conditions on the day of the inspection only. The
roof covering material, visible portions of the roof structure from within the attic (if applicable), and interior ceilings,
were inspected looking for indications of current or past leaks. Future conditions and inclement weather may reveal
leaks that were not present at the time of inspection. Any deficiencies noted in this report with the roof covering or
indications of past or present leaks should be evaluated and repaired as needed by a licensed roofing contractor.

Roof Permit
02-29-2024
Research of county records indicate this to the be the date of the last roof permit for this particular property.

Metal Roof Panels Information


Metal roofs can last 40 to 60 years saving significant money (and hassle of replacement) over the long-term. Besides
longevity, metal roofing typically uses a reflective solar coating designed to minimize heat buildup and reduce air
conditioning costs.

Roof Surface Condition: Metal Roof Panels Information


The metal roof panels were inspected at visible portions looking for any significant deficiencies or damage. No
reportable conditions were present at the time of inspection unless otherwise noted in this report.

WHI Home Inspection Services Page 7 of 96

Gutters / Downspouts: Gutters Not Present


Gutters were not present on the home and no indications of repercussions were observed due to the lack of their
presence. Gutters can be added in the future to minimize rainwater at the foundation, if desired.

Vents / Protrusions: Protrusion(s) Viewed From Ground Level, Ladder, or Drone


The roof protrusions were viewed from ground level, a ladder, or by a drone and no deficiencies were observed at
visible portions at the time of inspection if not followed by additional comments. The protrusions are also looked at
from the attic (if accessible), to look for signs of leaks, etc.

Vents / Protrusions: Roof Protrusions Information


The plumbing stack vents, their related rain boots, and other roof penetrations were inspected by looking at their
clearance, the integrity of their boots, for proper installation, or any significant defects. No reportable conditions were
present at the time of inspection unless otherwise noted in this report.

Roof Flashings: Flashing Information


Visible portions of the flashings were inspected looking for installation related deficiencies or damage (drip edge,
sidewall, headwall, counter, etc - if applicable). Typically most areas of flashings are not visible as they are covered by
the roof covering material, and therefore functionality has to be determined by looking for moisture intrusion on the
sheathing in the attic, or ceilings where the flashing was presumed to be in place. No deficiencies were observed at
visible portions, at the time of inspection, unless otherwise noted in this report.

Vegetation Observations: Vegetation Information


Vegetation was inspected around the home to ensure that it had adequate clearance from the structure, and was not
impacting the structure. No deficiencies were observed unless otherwise noted in this report.

Fence: Not Inspected


A fence was present at the home. Fences and gates are not inspected per the standards of practice, and are excluded
from this inspection.

Concrete Surfaces: Concrete Satisfactory Condition


The concrete slabs/flatwork around the home appeared to be in satisfactory condition at the time of inspection.

Patio: Wooden Patio Information


The wooden patio(s) were inspected looking for water related damage, construction related deficiencies, and safety
hazards. No reportable conditions were visibly present at the time of inspection unless otherwise noted in this report.

Grading / Lot Drainage: Grading / Drainage Overview


The grading around the home was inspected to determine that it was designed to allow rainwater to adequately drain
away from the structure. The soil is recommended to slope away from the home, with a 6 inch drop in elevation, in the
first 10 feet away from the structure (5% grade). When the 5% grade can not be achieved, swales or drains should be

WHI Home Inspection Services Page 9 of 96


1806 Cincinnati Ave Jake Powers

used as needed to properly divert rainwater runoff. Any flat or low areas around the home should be backfilled and
sloped away from the foundation, to prevent potential moisture infiltration into areas below grade (if applicable). No
reportable deficiencies were observed at the time of inspection unless otherwise noted in this report.

Driveway and Walkway Condition: Driveway/Walkway Information


The driveways and walkways were inspected to determine their affect on the structure of the home only. I will also
report on any visible deficiencies that may be present such as; cracking, displacement, or other damage. Any
comments relating to damage to the concrete, asphalt, and/or masonry surfaces should be viewed as a courtesy and
may not be an all-inclusive listing, as the State of Florida only requires that driveway(s) and walkway(s) be reported on
with their respected affect on the structure. No deficiencies were present at the time of inspection unless otherwise
noted in this report.

Driveway and Walkway Condition: Typical Settlement / Shrinkage Cracks


Settlement / shrinkage cracks were present on the concrete surface (<1/4 inch wide). These can typically be from
standard settlement, from admixtures or the composition of the concrete, or weather conditions when the concrete
was poured. I recommend sealing these cracks at a minimum, to prevent further damage.

Porch(es): Concrete Slab Porch/Stoop Information


Slab porch was inspected looking for damage or any other significant defects. No reportable deficiencies were visibly
present at the time of inspection unless otherwise noted in this report.

General Info: Probing of Wood


The Standards of Practice requires any areas of wooden trim, siding, or other wood components to be probed if water
damage (wood rot) was suspected. Any photos of a screwdriver stuck into wood represents water damage/wood rot
to some extent. Hidden damage is always a possibility at these areas. These areas of damage will require further
evaluation to determine the extent of the damage, along with repairs made as deemed necessary by a qualified
contractor.

General Info: Representative Number Inspected


The State of Florida Standards of Practice states that a representative sample of exterior components shall be
inspected on each side of the home when multiple pieces make up an item or component (i.e. cladding, windows,
overhangs, etc.). I try to ensure that all portions are inspected but height from the ground, vegetation, or other factors
may prevent full accessibility or visibility of some items.

Exterior Doors: Doors Information


All exterior doors (exclusive of garage door - discussed in another section of this report) were inspected by looking for
damage, lack of proper flashing, deficiencies with their operation, etc. No reportable deficiencies were present at the
time of inspection unless otherwise noted in this report.

Sealant / Paint Overall: Paint Condition


The paint on the house appears to be in good condition and satisfactory at the time of the inspection.

Walls / Cladding: Wall and Cladding Information


The walls and wall cladding were inspected looking for significant damage, presence of proper flashings, and potential
water entry points, etc. No reportable deficiencies were visibly present at the time of inspection unless otherwise
noted in this report.

Walls / Cladding: EIFS/DEFS/Stucco Limitations


This home contained EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finishing System), DEFS (direct-applied exterior finishing system),
and/or stucco. A certified EIFS/DEFS/Stucco inspection is beyond the scope of a home inspection, as it requires invasive
or destructive means to confirm proper installation and the lack of moisture intrusion. Therefore the proper
installation and presence of moisture infiltration in either the cladding itself, or walls clad with these materials are
excluded from this inspection. Any cracking, damage, or apparent visible installation issues will be reported on.

Windows : Windows Information


The accessible windows throughout the home were inspected by operating a representative number (I will try and
operate every window in the home, but personal belongings may block accessibility to some). Their operation was
tested, along with looking for damage, broken glass, failed seals, etc. No reportable deficiencies were present unless
otherwise noted in this report.

Windows : Glass Seal Failure Limitations


Reporting on double pane glass seal failure is not required by the State of Florida Standards of Practice, and lies
beyond the scope of a home inspection, as glass may not show signs of seal failure at the time of inspection, but may
become visible later due to changes in conditions. Desiccant material in the glass spacer can absorb moisture in
between the panes, essentially masking seal failure. Also, changes in weather conditions (high humidity, etc.) may
reveal seal failure that was not visible at the time of inspection. Seal failure is where the double pane glass loses its
adhesion with the inner spacer, allowing moisture and debris in between the panes of glass. I will report on any
insulated glass units that were showing signs of seal failure at the time of inspection, but this should not be relied upon
as a complete listing of affected units. If glass seal failure is a concern, you are advised to seek the services of a window
or glass repair contractor.

Surfaces - Overall: Surfaces Information


Visible portions of the interior wall, floor, and ceiling surfaces were inspected looking for indications of moisture
intrusion, settlement, or other significant defects. Cosmetic and minor deficiencies are not typically reported on, but
may be noted while looking for significant defects, any listing of these items should not be construed as an all-inclusive
listing. No reportable conditions were observed at the time of inspection unless otherwise noted in this report.

Refrigerator: Refrigerators Not Inspected


Refrigerators are not included in a Home Inspection as they are considered transient, "unattached" items. They are
also not moved to look at the condition of the floor under them, or the cabinetry around them. Therefore their water
line and power receptacle are not visible and excluded from this inspection. If the refrigerator is a concern, I
recommend having it evaluated by an appliance repair company or other qualified person prior to closing.

Dishwasher : Dishwasher Information


The dishwasher was operated by running a wash cycle, and was functional at the time of inspection. No leaks or water
was present at the base of the unit at the completion of the cycle. The unit's efficiency of cleaning dishes is not tested

WHI Home Inspection Services Page 38 of 96


1806 Cincinnati Ave Jake Powers

Shower Pan Limitations


Shower pans are not tested for leaks as this would be a technically exhaustive test. The only way to test shower pans
for leaks is to block off the drain and fill the shower pan with 1-2" of water, looking for leaks on drywall or framing
below, which would cause damage to the home. Therefore the shower is operated as normal and the areas under the
bathroom are examined for indications of leaks. These pans are known to leak and can potentially be a major expense
to correct. A licensed plumber should be consulted if more invasive testing is desired.

Tub and Shower Drain Information


Water was ran through the drains of tubs and showers for an extended period of time, and the areas under these
drains (if applicable) were then inspected with thermal imaging looking for indications of leaks. No leaks were observed
at the time of inspection unless otherwise noted in this report.
What I can't replicate is the affects of weight applied to these drains. When showering or bathing the forces from
weight can put strain on gaskets or joints on the drain pipes that can possibly result in leaking, this can be even more
likely if the home has been vacant for an extended period of time.

Tub and Sink Overflow Limitations


Tub and sink overflows are not tested for functionality due to the very high likelihood the gaskets will leak. Care should
be exercised in filling tubs to not allow water into the overflow. While they will likely drain away the bulk of water, some
amount of leaking should be anticipated. As an improvement, a licensed plumber could check the gaskets and make
repairs deemed necessary. Again, it should be assumed these overflows will not be water tight.

Cabinets, Countertops: Cabinet & Countertop(s) Information

A heavy amount of personal belongings and storage was present in the garage. These items covered the majority of
the foundation walls and concrete slab floor surface. The condition of these items are excluded from this inspection. I
highly recommend taking a final walk through of the home once vacant, to observe any areas that were not accessible
during the inspection.

Ceiling / Framing: Ceiling Information


The ceiling area was inspected looking for indications of leaks or other deficiencies. No reportable conditions were
present at the time of inspection unless otherwise noted in this report.

Ceiling / Framing: Drywall Joint Cracking


Crack(s) were present at drywall joints on the ceiling. This can be caused by expansion and contraction of building
materials, or standard settlement. If a concern have a drywall contractor to evaluate for repair.

Ceiling / Framing: Ceiling Information - Separation


The framing in the garage is required to be covered with a 5/8" type X drywall if living areas are overhead and the home
was constructed after 2006 (year dependent on local municipality). Confirmation of the proper drywall is not possible
in a "visual only home inspection", but the presence of drywall will be reported on. Homes built prior to 2006 were not
required to meet these requirements but upgrading to proper drywall is recommended as desired for safety.

Garage Door(s): Garage Door Information


The garage door(s) were tested by operating the wall mounted transmitter and checking for proper operation. The
door(s) were examined for significant damage or installation related deficiencies. No reportable conditions were

WHI Home Inspection Services Page 63 of 96

present at the time of inspection unless otherwise noted in this report.

Garage Door Safety: Eye Beam(s) Information


The safety eye beam(s) were inspected by closing the garage door and "breaking" the path of the eye beam(s) to
ensure the door auto-reversed properly. The system was functional unless otherwise noted in this report.

Garage Door Safety: Resistance Test Passed


Garage doors contain two safety mechanisms; the photoelectric eyes, and the ability to auto-reverse if met with
resistance. This resistance was tested following DASMA protocols and placing a 2 x 4 laid horizontally at the bottom of
the door. The door contacted the 2 x 4 while closing and properly auto reversed at the time of inspection.

Garage Door Opener(s): Garage Door Opener Information


The garage door opener(s) were inspected by depressing the wall mounted transmitter and observing the openers
functionality (remote transmitters are not tested). No reportable conditions were present at the time of inspection
unless otherwise noted in this report.

Interior Door : Interior Garage Door Information


The door between the garage and living areas was in satisfactory condition at the time of inspection. Current safety
standards require for these doors to be comprised of steel or solid wood measuring at least 1 3/8" thick for proper
garage to living space separation and be self-closing. These doors built on homes prior to 2006 (dependent on local
municipality) may not meet these standards and should be upgraded as desired for safety. No reportable conditions
were present at the time of inspection unless otherwise noted in this report.

WHI Home Inspection Services Page 64 of 96


1806 Cincinnati Ave Jake Powers

Interior Door : Proper Separation Door Present


The interior door located between the garage and living areas was a steel or solid wood door measuring at least 1 3/8
inches thick. This appears to satisfy the current standards for separation of garage and living space relating to the door.

Walls: Walls Information


The walls appeared to be in satisfactory condition at the time of inspection. No deficiencies were observed at visible
portions unless otherwise noted in this report.

Walls: Walls Information - Separation


Current standards require that walls adjacent to living areas in a garage are covered with 1/2" drywall for proper
separation of garage to living space. Homes built prior to 2006 (year dependent on local municipality) may not have
this protection, but upgrades are recommended as desired for safety.

Garage Door Parts: Garage Door Parts Information


The rollers, brackets, door panels, springs, and tracks were inspected looking for damage or loose components. No

Garage Floor: Typical Settlement / Shrinkage Cracking


Typical settlement / shrinkage cracks were present on the garage concrete slab (<1/4" wide). These can be caused by a
mixture used in the concrete mix when the slab was poured, the lack of expansion or relief joints, or standard
settlement. Any cracks should be sealed with an appropriate material at a minimum to prevent the possibility of
moisture infiltration. This material can then be monitored for cracking which would show if any future movement
occurs. If a concern, have a concrete contractor to evaluate.

And Interior ductwork to distribute conditioned air throughout the home

General Info: HVAC Testing Information


The inspection of the HVAC system is limited to the response of the system at the thermostat in cooling mode; a visual
observation of the exterior and interior equipment, and the removal of any access panels made for removal by a
homeowner (not requiring ANY tools). If a more thorough inspection is desired, an HVAC contractor should be
consulted.

General Info: HVAC Servicing Information


FYI - Manufacturers and HVAC contractors recommend annual maintenance for HVAC systems. Failure to have the
systems serviced on an annual basis can affect the life expectancy and efficiency of the units. I recommend asking the
seller(s) for the service records and having annual maintenance conducted as needed.

Exterior Unit(s) - Split System : Exterior Unit Information


The exterior unit(s) were inspected visually and tested by ensuring they respond to normal operating controls in
cooling mode (at the thermostat), and that cool air was produced. No indications of deficiencies were observed at the
time of inspection, unless otherwise noted in this report.

Float Switch/Drain Pan: Float Switch/Drain Pan Information


The interior HVAC unit(s) were inspected for the presence of a float switch and/or auxiliary drain pan if they were
located in or adjacent to finished areas. If the unit has a float switch, a drain pan is not necessary. A float switch senses
when the condensation drain line is blocked and shut the system down until the blockage is resolved. In the absence
of a float switch, a drain pan may be utilized that will allow any accumulated water to drain to the exterior. If a drain
pan is used, the drain pan must be be drained to the exterior. The functionality of either the float switches or drain
pipes are not tested. No deficiencies were present at visible portions unless otherwise noted in this report.

Condensate Drain Pipe: Drain Pipe Information


The condensate drain pipe was inspected looking for the presence of a "trap" and significant deficiencies, as well as
reporting on its termination point. Often times the pipe or vinyl tubing passes through walls and/or ceilings, rendering
it non-visible in these areas, and the condition of the pipe in these areas is excluded from this inspection. No
deficiencies were observed at visual portions, at the time of inspection, unless otherwise noted in this report.

WHI Home Inspection Services Page 70 of 96


1806 Cincinnati Ave Jake Powers

Air Return: Temperature Reading


A temperature reading of the return air was taken at the time of inspection, to provide a baseline to compare output
temperatures to, showing the system responded to normal operating controls.

Air Supply: Air Supply Information


The typical temperature differential between return and supply air is 10 - 20 degrees in cooling mode, and 16 - 25
degrees in heating mode. Several factors can affect these numbers, such as, but not limited to: indoor ambient air
temperature, exterior ambient air temperature, humidity, cleanliness of the air filter and evaporator, etc. Furthermore
HVAC thermometers (wet bulb) are required for accurate readings, and measurement points would be carried out at a
different location by an HVAC contractor. These readings are shown to show the system responded to normal
operating controls at the time of inspection, and not to show the exact temperature differential produced by the
system, the efficiency, or performance of the system; which lies beyond the scope of a home inspection.

Air Filter / Return Plenum: Filter/Plenum Information


The return air grille, air filter, and return air plenum were inspected at visible portions looking for any significant
deficiencies, gaps in the plenum, dirty filter(s), or an accumulation of dust. I recommend changing the filter every 30
days - 3 months depending on the style of filter used. This is one of the most important "maintenance" items you can
perform as a dirty filter puts additional strain on the air handler and may cause damage to the unit.

Visible Ductwork: Ductwork Information


The ductwork was inspected at visible portions looking for damage, loose connections, or other significant defects. No
reportable deficiencies were observed unless otherwise noted in this report. Vent covers were not removed but
visually inspected with flashlight and thermal imaging for functionality.

Water Heater Condition: Water Heater Information


The water heater produced hot water at the time of inspection. No reportable deficiencies were observed with the unit
unless otherwise noted in this report.

WHI Home Inspection Services Page 74 of 96


1806 Cincinnati Ave Jake Powers

Water Heater Condition: Water Temperature


120-130 Degrees
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: The water temperature is recommended to be kept between 110-135 degrees to
prevent scalding but also to kill bacteria that can grow in stagnant water in temperatures below 110 degrees or so.
Sources differ on this as some experts say to keep the temperature at 120 degrees to prevent scalding, while other say
to keep it as high as 135 degrees to prevent the formation of bacteria. I recommend doing your own research on this
subject to determine what the best temperature is for your home. For an expert opinion a plumbing contractor can
also be consulted.
FYI - Adjustments to the temperature can typically be made at the water heater thermostat. Low or high
water temperatures does not in and of itself mean there is an issue with the water heater - just simply that
the temperature may need to be adjusted.

TPR Valve: TPR Valve Information


A TPR valve was in place, and appeared functional. These are not tested due to the fact that once they are tested, they
tend to form a drip leak. These valves allow the water heater to expel water and pressure if the tank reaches a pressure
over 150psi, or the water temperature exceeds 210 degrees. No deficiencies were observed with the valve unless
otherwise noted in this report.

Recommendations

18.1.1 Water Heater Condition Significant Defect


GAS UNIT WITHIN 18" OF THE FLOOR
The gas water heater was within 18 inches of the floor. Current standards require water heaters to be on
a stand to raise their ignition source 18 inches off of floor level to prevent the chance of igniting
combustible gases. Raising the water heater to the proper height is recommended by a licensed plumber.
Recommendation
Contact a qualified plumbing contractor.

General Info: Slab Foundation


The majority of the plumbing is not visible on homes with a slab foundation as the pipes are ran under the slab and
behind finished walls. Any mention of water distribution pipes or waste and drain pipes relates to visual portions only.

Functional Flow: Flow Information


Water was ran from multiple faucets simultaneously to gauge that there was not a significant reduction in flow as a
result of doing so. No significant reduction occurred at the time of inspection unless otherwise noted in this report.

Functional Drainage: Drainage Information


Water was ran through all drains in the home for an extended period of time to determine if functional drainage was
occurring. No hindered drainage was present at the time of inspection unless otherwise noted in this report. Lived-in
conditions can not be adequately replicated during an inspection and I have no control of future drainage conditions
due to lived-in usage (solids being flushed down the system, etc.).

Water Pressure: Water Pressure


65 psi
The normal range of water pressure in a residential application is between 40 psi and 80 psi (pounds per square inch).
There is no specific rule about how much pressure is best for your house, since everyone's needs are different.
However, anything below 40 psi will likely lead to poor performance of devices that use water. If the pressure is above
80 psi a pressure regulator should be installed to your main water line.

Water Pressure: Water Pressure Information


The water pressure was at an acceptable level at the time of inspection. 80psi or less is generally recommended to
protect distribution pipes and connections from leaking (60 - 70psi is preferred). Most pressure regulators are
adjustable from 25 - 75 psi.

reportable conditions were visually present at the time of inspection unless otherwise noted in this report. The
identification of the home's piping material is limited only to what was visible at the time of the inspection.

Drain, Waste, and Vent Pipes (DWV): Drain, Waste, and Vent Pipes Information
Visible portions of the (DWV) drain, waste, and vent pipes were inspected looking for leaks or indications of other
significant deficiencies. No leaks or other reportable conditions were visibly present unless otherwise noted in this
report. Sewer camera inspections are recommended for any home regardless of age due to the sewer lateral
between the home and sewer service or home and septic tank not being visible and the possibility of damage,
blockages, or sagging areas in this pipe. These inspections typically cost around $250.00, but can save thousands if a
problem is found.

Drain, Waste, and Vent Pipes (DWV): Most Portions Not Visible - Slab
The DWV pipes were not visible due to a slab foundation. Portions not visible are excluded from this inspection.

Main Shut Off Valve : Main Shut Off Information


The shut off valve appeared to be in satisfactory condition at the time of inspection. No deficiencies were observed
unless otherwise noted in this report. The valve is not operated to test its functionality.

Sewer Clean Out: Sewer Cleanout Not Found


A cleanout for the sewer lateral was not found. I recommend consulting with the sellers as to its location.

GFCI Protection: GFCI Information


Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is a protection feature that allows a circuit or receptacle to "trip" or "shut off" if
as little as a 5 milliamp differential is detected between the "hot" and "neutral" conductors. This protection is
recommended for receptacles within 6 feet of a sinks edge, or where something plugged into a receptacle could come
into contact with water, including: bathrooms, kitchens, on the exterior, in garages, laundry rooms, and basements
and crawl spaces. Although GFCI protection may not have been required in some or all of these areas when the home
was built, their installation is highly recommended and is typically inexpensive. This protection, if present, was tested
and was in satisfactory condition at the time of inspection, unless otherwise noted in this report.

Service Entrance: Overhead Service Drop Information


Power was supplied to the home via an overhead service drop. The meter and service mast appeared to be in
satisfactory condition. No deficiencies were observed at visible portions unless otherwise noted in this report.

Service Amperage: Service Amperage


The service amperage is determined by inspecting the service entrance conductors size, the panel box manufacture's
specification and the amperage of the service disconnect. Voltages are not tested for and therefore not confirmed, so
120/240VAC is presumed. If a concern, a licensed electrician could test for proper voltages to see if 120/208VAC is
present. In some situations the sizing of the service entrance conductors will not be legible or marked and the stated
amperage will be followed by "presumed" as it could not be verified.

WHI Home Inspection Services Page 85 of 96

Distribution Panel: Distribution Panel Information


The distribution panel was inspected to ensure all distribution panel rules were followed; that a 4-wire feed was
present, that the EGC's and grounded conductors were isolated, that the grounded conductors were floating, that the
EGC's were bonded, etc. No significant deficiencies were present in the panel(s) at the time of inspection, unless
otherwise noted in this report.

WHI Home Inspection Services Page 86 of 96

Branch Wiring : Branch Wiring Information


The branch wiring was inspected at visible portions looking for any significant deficiencies or defects that could be a
fire and/or safety hazard; including but not limited to: connections made outside of a junction box, wiring
terminations, open junction boxes, damage, the wiring material, improper support, etc. The majority of branch feeders
are not visible due to being behind wall and ceiling coverings, insulation, etc. No significant deficiencies were visibly
present at the time of inspection unless otherwise noted in this report.

Service Disconnect: Service Disconnect Information


The service disconnect or main OCPD (over current protection device) was inspected looking for any deficiencies and
reporting on its location. This disconnect can be a breaker, fuse block, or kill switch. This is the means of shutting off all
electricity entering the home.

CO Detectors: CO Alarm Information


Carbon Monoxide (CO) detectors are recommended to be installed outside of each sleeping area, in the area(s) of any
gas appliances, and any fireplace(s). CO alarms are recommended if any gas appliances are present in the home or if
the home contains a garage. More information about CO detectors and there requirements can be found here:
https://www.nfpa.org/Public-Education/By-topic/Fire-and-life-safety-equipment/Carbon-monoxide

Smoke Alarms / Detectors: Smoke Alarms Information


Smoke alarms are recommended for each sleeping room and (1) outside of each sleeping room(s), and one per level
including habitable attics and basements. I recommend replacing the batteries and testing the smoke alarms before
spending your first night in the home, and the testing monthly thereafter. Several other recommendations relating to
smoke alarms and fire safety are recommended by the NFPA, and can be found here:

Breakers: AFCI Not Present


AFCI breakers were not present in the electrical panel and were not required on homes built prior to 2004-2008,
depending on the local municipality. The installation of AFCI breakers is recommended as an upgrade for circuits
servicing bedrooms and living areas due to their ability to sense damage to wiring and "shut off" if an arc is detected in

WHI Home Inspection Services Page 88 of 96
