Dear Richard Cummings,

RE: Report No. 189514517 Your StreetOkla. City, OK73142

Here is your Inspection Report and again thank you for allowing me to do your inspection, I hope you find the report bothuseful and informative.

The purpose of the home inspection and subsequent report is to assist you in making an informed decision about yourpotential purchase. My primary focus is on significant deficiencies by paying particular attention to those components thatare expensive to fix, replace or that may present a safety issue.

During the course of the inspection, issues of lesser significance may be uncovered and they will be documented as well.However, please do not misinterpret this as an exhaustive list of all minor defects as that is not the intent of a homeinspection.

Components and/ or Systems listed in the "Description" section have been inspected and are functioning as intended.Deficiencies or concerns will be noted in the "Recommendations" section as will components that may be functional butare clearly near the end of their life cycle.

It is especially important that you read the report in its entirety and contact me if you have questions or need any furtherclarification.

Sincerely,

Richard Cummingson behalf ofCornerstone Residential Inspections, LLC

SUMMARY

SUMMARY

This summary is provided solely as a courtesy and cannot be considered a substitute for reading the entire report.Please read the complete report as it may contain information that is not included in the summary.

There are some important things you should be aware of when taking possession of a home. These are detailed in thepriority maintenance document, which you can access by clicking on the link below.

Priority Maintenance Items

Roofing

SLOPED ROOF FLASHINGS \ Roof/sidewall flashingsCondition: No step or counter flashingsThe sidewall has not been correctly flashed. The junction of the brick siding and shingles should be caulked, maintainedand monitored until proper repair is made at next re-roofing.Implication(s): Chance of water damage to contents, finishes and/or structureLocation: FrontTask: Monitoring RecommendedTime: Routinely

SLOPED ROOF FLASHINGS \ Drip edge flashingsCondition: MissingDrip and rake edge flashings are designed to protect the roof decking, fascias, and soffits from water damage. The mostcurrent national standards require these flashings, however, many local municipalities do not. I recommend monitoringthese areas annually for any signs of damage and adding these flashings at the next re-roofing.Implication(s): Chance of water damage to contents, finishes and/or structureLocation: All Sides - RoofTask: Monitoring RecommendedTime: Annually

Exterior

ROOF DRAINAGE \ DownspoutsCondition: Discharge too close to buildingFor foundation protection, gutter runoff should discharge 6' from the building. This may be achieved through the use ofdownspout extensions. If the addition of extensions is not feasible then I recommend adding "splash blocks" under alldownspouts.Implication(s): Chance of water damage to contents, finishes and/or structureLocation: All SidesTask: Improvement SuggestedTime: At Clients Discretion

WALLS \ Soffits (underside of eaves) and fascia (front edge of eaves)Condition: Damage

SUMMARY

Plumbing

WATER HEATER \ Temperature/pressure relief valveCondition: Discharge tube missingThe discharge tube is missing. This is a safety issue and should be repaired as soon as possible.Implication(s): ScaldingLocation: Garage - Water Heater ClosetTask: Repair RecommendedTime: As Soon As Possible

WATER HEATER - GAS BURNER AND VENTING \ Venting systemCondition: Combustible clearanceThe water heater vent is in contact with insulation. There should be a 2" clearance between the vent and drywall orinsulation.Implication(s): Fire hazardLocation: Garage - Water Heater ClosetTask: Repair RecommendedTime: As Soon As Possible

WASTE PLUMBING \ Drain piping - installationCondition: Clean-outs missing or inaccessibleThe cleanout riser and cap in the backyard are damaged. Repair is needed to prevent pest and debris intrusion.Location: Rear - YardTask: Repair RecommendedTime: As Soon As Possible

SUMMARY

Interior

WALLS \ GeneralCondition: The weight of the "hunting trophies" may be to much for the wall to bear.Location: Rear - BedroomTask: Further Evaluation RecommendedTime: As Soon As Possible

WINDOWS \ Glass (glazing)Condition: Lost seal on double or triple glazingThe front bedroom window has lost its thermal seal (moisture noted). The window still keeps the rain out, but the stainingbetween the panes of glass will continue to cloud the glass. At some time, if left in place, the window will turn opaque.Implication(s): Shortened life expectancy of materialLocation: Front - BedroomTask: Replacement RecommendedTime: At Clients Discretion

EXHAUST FANS \ DuctCondition: Not vented to exteriorBoth bathroom ceiling vents discharge into the attic. Current standards require bathroom vent fans discharge to theexterior through the roof. This is to prevent unwanted moisture from being discharged into the attic. In large attics, as isthe case in this house, this may or may not be an issue. I recommend monitoring to determine if this is a repair that maybe needed in the future.Implication(s): Chance of condensation damage to finishes and/or structureLocation: Rear - AtticTask: Monitoring RecommendedTime: Periodically

GARAGE \ Vehicle doorsCondition: Single spring systems on double wide doors can provide an adequate counterbalance, however, when thegarage door is fully open, the single spring tries to compress putting added pressure and stress on the center bearingand the components on the opposite side of the spring. Over time, premature failure of the center bearing, bracket, andend bearing plate on the opposite side from the spring can occur.Two spring systems, on the other hand, can balancethe door by evening out this pressure leading to longer life of all the garage door components. They also make it easierfor you to open and close the door manually in the event the opener fails, there is a power outage or one spring breaks orfails as the other spring can still provide some lifting strength.Location: GarageTask: Improvement SuggestedTime: For Future Consideration

APPLIANCES \ RangeCondition: Anti-tip device missingThe anti-tip protection is missing from the range.Implication(s): Physical injuryLocation: Kitchen - Range

SUMMARY

Task: Safety Upgrade RecommendedTime: As Soon As Possible

APPLIANCES \ DishwasherCondition: Backflow prevention defectiveEvery dishwasher installation manual requires a high loop underneath the sink to prevent the potential of backflow intothe dishwasher.Location: Kitchen - DishwasherTask: Repair RecommendedTime: As Soon As Possible

APPLIANCES \ Waste disposalCondition: Wiring exposed or looseThe disposal wiring clamp is missing from the disposal. Wiring should be secured with a wiring clamp to prevent thesharp edges of the hole from damaging the insulation thru constant vibration or from the wiring being pulled loose if aperson bumps the wire when cleaning or getting something out from under the sink. In either of these two examples, thedisposal could become energized resulting in shock because the loose wire is still plugged into the wall outlet. Having aproper wiring clamp will help prevent this from happening.Implication(s): Electric shockLocation: Kitchen - DisposalTask: Repair RecommendedTime: As Soon As Possible

Roof and ceiling framing: Manufactured wood I-beams

Roof and ceiling framing: Rafters/ceiling joists Oriented Strand Board (OSB) sheathing

Methods, Limitations and Exclusions

Attic/roof space:Entered but access was limited

The inspection was limited as the attic could not be completely traversed due to one or more of the following reasons -The ceiling joists were not completely visible which prevents safe footing, the roofing configuration (truss/ rafter system)did not allow enough headroom, the HVAC ductwork or stored personal items blocked passage.

Not included as part of a building inspection:An opinion about the adequacy of structural components

It is impossible for a home inspection to provide any guaranty that the foundation, and the overall structure and structuralelements of the building are sound. If there are any concerns with the assessment of this inspection, a structuralengineer should be consulted to independently evaluate any specific concern or condition, prior to closing.

ELECTRICAL

System or Component Description

Service entrance cable and location: Underground copper

Service size:200 Amps (240 Volts)

The ampacity of the electrical service is determined by comparing the lowest of the capacities of incoming service cablecapacity, service meter capacity, or main power panel rating. The lowest of these three components is considered theoverriding factor and the above-noted capacity was determined using this guideline.

System grounding material and type: Copper - Ufer

Distribution panel type and location:Breakers - garage

The main disconnect (shutoff) is contained within the distribution panel (breaker panel) which is commonly referred to asa combination panel.

Distribution panel rating: 200 Amps

Distribution wire material and type: Copper - non-metallic sheathed

Type and number of outlets (receptacles): Grounded - typical

Circuit interrupters: Ground Fault (GFCI) & Arc Fault (AFCI): GFCIs present AFCI - panel

Smoke alarms (detectors): Present

Carbon monoxide (CO) alarms (detectors): Present

Methods, Limitations and Exclusions

System ground: Quality of ground not determined

Circuit labels: The accuracy of the circuit index (labels) was not verified.

Not included as part of a building inspection: Only outlets that are readily accessible and not in use are tested. Thetesting of Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters (AFCI Breakers) if present and the house is occupied are excluded from thisinspection. Tripping these breakers shuts off all power to the circuit requiring the resetting of anything plugged into them -clocks, timers, computers etc. It is recommended that these breakers be tested at move in before anything requiringresetting has been plugged into them and then tested monthly thereafter.

Not included as part of a building inspection: Low voltage wiring systems and components Testing of smokeand/or carbon monoxide alarms Amperage, voltage, and impedance measurements Determination of the age ofsmoke and carbon monoxide alarms

APPLIANCES \ Waste disposal28. Condition: Wiring exposed or looseThe disposal wiring clamp is missing from the disposal. Wiring should be secured with a wiring clamp to prevent thesharp edges of the hole from damaging the insulation thru constant vibration or from the wiring being pulled loose if aperson bumps the wire when cleaning or getting something out from under the sink. In either of these two examples, thedisposal could become energized resulting in shock because the loose wire is still plugged into the wall outlet. Having aproper wiring clamp will help prevent this from happening.Implication(s): Electric shockLocation: Kitchen - DisposalTask: Repair RecommendedTime: As Soon As Possible
