It provides information regarding the general condition of a residence at the time the inspection was conducted. It is important that you carefully read ALL of this information. Ask the inspector to clarify any items or comments that are unclear. RESPONSIBILTY OF THE INSPECTOR This inspection is governed by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) Standards of Practice (SOPs), which dictates the minimum requirements for a real estate inspection. The inspector IS required to: • use this Property Inspection Report form for the inspection; • • • inspect only those components and conditions that are present, visible, and accessible at the time of the inspection; indicate whether each item was inspected, not inspected, or not present; indicate an item as Deficient (D) if a condition exists that adversely and materially affects the performance of a system or component OR constitutes a hazard to life, limb or property as specified by the SOPs; and • explain the inspector’s findings in the corresponding section in the body of the report form. The inspector IS NOT required to: identify all potential hazards; turn on decommissioned equipment, systems, utilities, or apply an open flame or light a pilot to operate any appliance; • • • climb over obstacles, move furnishings or stored items; • prioritize or emphasize the importance of one deficiency over another; • provide follow-up services to verify that proper repairs have been made; or • inspect system or component listed under the optional section of the SOPs (22 TAC 535.233). RESPONSIBILTY OF THE CLIENT While items identified as Deficient (D) in an inspection report DO NOT obligate any party to make repairs or take other actions, in the event that any further evaluations are needed, it is the responsibility of the client to obtain further evaluations and/or cost estimates from qualified service professionals regarding any items reported as Deficient (D). It is recommended that any further evaluations and/or cost estimates take place prior to the expiration of any contractual time limitations, such as option periods. Please Note: Evaluations performed by service professionals in response to items reported as Deficient (D) on the report may lead to the discovery of additional deficiencies that were not present, visible, or accessible at the time of the inspection. Any repairs made after the date of the inspection may render information contained in this report obsolete or invalid. REPORT LIMITATIONS This report is provided for the benefit of the named client and is based on observations made by the named inspector on the date the inspection was performed (indicated above). ONLY those items specifically noted as being inspected on the report were inspected. This inspection IS NOT: • a technically exhaustive inspection of the structure, its systems, or its components and may not reveal all deficiencies; • an inspection to verify compliance with any building codes; • an inspection to verify compliance with manufacturer’s installation instructions for any system or component and DOES NOT imply insurability or warrantability of the structure or its components.

Such conditions that were part of the home prior to the adoption of any current codes prohibiting them may not be required to be updated to meet current code requirements. However, if it can be reasonably determined that they are present at the time of the inspection, the potential for injury or property loss from these conditions is significant enough to require inspectors to report them as Deficient (D). Examples of such hazardous conditions include: • malfunctioning, improperly installed, or missing ground fault circuit protection (GFCI) devices and arc-fault devices; • ordinary glass in locations where modern construction techniques call for safety glass; • malfunctioning or lack of fire safety features such as smoke alarms, fire-rated doors in certain locations, and functional emergency escape and rescue openings in bedrooms; • malfunctioning carbon monoxide alarms; • excessive spacing between balusters on stairways and porches; • • • • improperly installed appliances; improperly installed or defective safety devices; lack of electrical bonding and grounding; and lack of bonding on gas piping, including corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST). Please Note: items identified as Deficient (D) in an inspection report DO NOT obligate any party to make repairs or take other actions. The decision to correct a hazard or any deficiency identified in an inspection report is left up to the parties to the contract for the sale or purchase of the home. This property inspection report may include an inspection agreement (contract), addenda, and other information related to property conditions.

(9) Attic ambering is the oozing of sap from wooden rafters in an attic, caused by excessive heat that makes the wood "sweat". While it can be a natural process, it is often a warning sign of inadequate attic ventilation and insulation, which can lead to problems like mold and wood degradation over time. To fix it, you should improve your attic's insulation and ventilation to lower temperatures and moisture levels. Causes High heat: Excessive heat, often from poor insulation, causes the sap in the wood to become more liquid. Inadequate ventilation: A lack of proper airflow traps heat and moisture, intensifying the problem. Moisture and condensation: In winter, warm, moist air from inside the house can rise and condense on the cold attic surfaces, creating an environment that promotes mold and wood rot.

Arc faults can be created by damaged, deteriorated, or worn electrical plugs, cords, and/or branch circuit conductors. As of September 1, 2008, the State of Texas has adopted the 2005 NEC, which includes this requirement, as the "minimum standard" for all non-exempt electrical work. Homes built prior to 2002, generally were not required to have arc fault protection. However, the current TREC standard of practice requires inspectors to indicate that a hazardous or deficient condition exists if any home does not have this protection, regardless of date the home was constructed. The electrical systems, service entrance and panels were performing as intended at the time of inspection and any deficiencies observed will be noted in this section of the report. A. Item 2 (Picture) Main panel cover removed (3) Tree branches were in contact with the service drop.
