SUMMARY AND GENERAL NOTES REGARDING THE INSPECTION 

The inspection report above will tell you a great deal about the overall condition of this property. The review is based 

on visible observations of accessible areas of the property as of the date of the inspection. It is expected that all 

properties experience some degree of wear and all systems have finite life-expectancies. The primary purpose of this 

report is to provide the inspector and the occupant with a reasonable degree of confidence that this residence is being 

properly maintained so that finishes and systems can realize their full life-cycle. 

Furthermore, owning and occupying any building involves some risk and while this document can provide an 

overview of the general condition of the property as of the date of inspection, we cannot inspect what we cannot see. 

Moving furniture, any dismantling, or lighting gas pilots are not within the scope of this inspection. This report is not 

an exhaustive, comprehensive technical evaluation of mechanical, electrical, roofing, or plumbing systems. Where 

areas are determined to be of concern, licensed professionals should be hired to evaluate the condition and 

recommend appropriate corrective action.
