This Report Has Been Prepared Exclusively For: Paul & Marsha Martin
Property Address: 30044 N. Desert Willow Blvd, San Tan Valley, AZ 85143
Date of Inspection: 1/5/2010 Start Time: 12:30:00 PM Report Number: 20100105PM
Grounds Survey Findings:

If present, vegetation, grading, drainage, driveways, patio
ground surfaces, walkways and retaining walls, stoops, steps,
non-abutting decks, visible components of grounds electrical
systems and watering systems, and other general conditions
were observed. The inspector is not required to test grounds
lighting systems or watering systems.
Significant visible deficiencies or potential concerns, if any, are
reported below.
Grounds systems or components are indicated by type or
described in the components section.
The condition of exterior faucets is addressed in this section,
though any observed leaks may be reported in the Plumbing
Section.
[+] 0970.15: No deficiencies noted in this area at the time
of the inspection.
[Note] 0980.01: The grounds was inspected and reported
on with the enclosed information.
Grading and drainage are probably the most significant
aspects of a property, simply because of the direct and
indirect damage that moisture can have on structures. All
structures are dependent on the soil beneath them for
support, but soils may vary. For this reason, it is
recommended that proper drainage away from the
foundation be provided. This can be enhanced by roofs that
have gutters and downspouts that discharge into area
drains with catch basins that carry water away to hard
surfaces. It is recommended that tree limbs and vegetation
be kept trimmed back from roof and wall surfaces.
Sprinkler systems are primarily an underground system, our
inspection is limited. It is recommended that you consult
the sellers as to the operation of the timer, and entire
system, and all associated controls before the close of
escrow if the property is equip with a system.
Grounds Components & Applications:
The following is a list of components, systems, and applications
noted during the inspection. This is a very important part of the
inspection report. Some components and some applications
require additional maintenance and consideration. The survey
of some components is limited. Some component information
contains disclosures.
Where the general condition of a component or system is
indicated, reference is to the visible and/or active components
only.
Read all narratives in the Uniform Building Inspection
Report Reference Manual, referenced by item number,
before purchasing the property.
IRRIGATION:
00a(1) All or part of the irrigation or sprinkler system is

automatically activated. Be aware that the inspector does
not inspect or review the operational characteristics of
irrigation or sprinkler systems.
00a(2) All or part of the irrigation or sprinkler system is
manually activated. Be aware that the inspector does not
inspect or review the operational characteristics of irrigation
or sprinkler systems.

MISC. GROUNDS DEVICES & OUTBUILDINGS:

No misc. grounds devices noted
No outbuildings noted

Exterior / Roof Survey Findings:

The roof, roof drainage systems, jacks, flashings, skylights,
chimneys, other roof penetrations were observed within the
limits of accessibility. The method of observation, which is
suggestive of the extent to which the roof and related
components were observed, is set forth in the components
section.
Wall cladding, flashing, trim, eaves and rake fascias (barge
rafters), all doors, a representative number of windows, and all
garage doors were observed if present. Any garage door
operators were tested for the ability to stop or reverse when
meeting normal hand resistance.
If bedroom windows have security bars, they may be required to
have release mechanisms. The release mechanisms are not
tested by the inspection company. It is strongly recommended
that you have the owner or agent demonstrate the release
mechanism on each window.
reported below.
Any visible deficiencies in abutting or attached decks may be
reported in the STRUCTURE section rather than here.
Visible signs of leaks or abnormal condensation (if any) on
surfaces are reported in this, and/or other pertinent, sections.
Exterior systems or components are indicated by type or
[M] 1510.01: Insulated window (I.G.) appears to have lost
seal.
Seal is raised between dual pane window. Recommend
monitoring window for condensation. Noted at master
bathroom toilet area.
See Photo(s) 1510.01.
[E] 1530.06: Window cracked.
Recommend repair of window. Outside pane of window is
cracked. Noted at master bathroom shower area.
[Note] 1970.01: The exterior of the home was inspected
and reported on with the enclosed information.
We do not comment on coating or cosmetic deficiencies
and the wear and tear associated with the passage of time,
which would be apparent to the average person. However,
cracks in hard surfaces can imply the presence of
expansive soils that can result in continuous movement, but
this could only be confirmed by a geological evaluation of
the soil. It is important to maintain a property, including
painting or sealing walkways, decks, and other hard
surfaces, and it is particularly important to keep the house
walls sealed, which provide the only barrier against
deterioration. It is recommended that gaps and
penetrations around framing, plumbing, mechanical,
electrical penetrations, windows, doors and thresholds be

checked and if necessary sealed for moisture and pest

protection. Therefore it is recommended to maintain the
exterior of the home on a regular basis.
Exterior wood features, such as roof eaves, fascias, beam,
door jambs and trim, around windows will need periodic
caulking and painting to preserve and to prevent moisture
inundation. Eaves,Soffits and fascias are viewed from the
ground, not all problems may be noticed. Tree limbs and
vegetation should be trimmed back from roof and wall
surfaces.
Hairline cracks in concrete and masonry are considered
normal due to concrete shrinkage. Gutters and subsurface
drains are not water tested for leakage or blockage.
Recommend observing during heavy rains. Regular
maintenance of drainage systems is required to avoid water
problems at roof and foundation.
Wall insulation type and value is not verified.
[Note] 1970.03: Concrete Tile Roof
Concrete roof tile are brittle and walking on them can
crack or break the tile. Therefore, a limited inspection was
preformed. Hair line cracks and possibly broken tile may go
unnoticed during this limited inspection. The inspector did
inspect all components that were visible from certain
vantage points with a ladder and binoculars. The condition
of roof felt paper or membrane below roof tiles is unknown
and cannot be inspected with out possible damage to the
roof coverings. The material on most pitched roofs is not
designed to be waterproof only water resistance. While the
inspector makes every effort to find all areas of concern,
some areas can go unnoticed. No guarantee or warranty is
made by this inspection whether the roof leaks at the time of
the inspection or is subject to future leaking. There may be
concealed damage. Without fully viewing, it's almost
impossible to know whether there's a serious problem. The
sellers or the occupants of the residence will generally have
the most intimate knowledge of the roof and of its history.
Therefore, it is recommended that you ask the sellers about
it, and that you either include comprehensive roof coverage
in you home insurance policy, or that you obtain a roof
certification from a licensed and insured roofing contractor.

of the inspection.
[Note] 2855.01: The heating/cooling system of this home
was inspected and reported on with the enclosed
information.
It is recommended that you clean or replace filter(s) on a
monthly basis to maintain a healthy environment and to
assist in the unit working properly, and since health is a
deeply personal responsibility, it's recommended to have
the air quality tested and distribution ducts cleaned as a
prudent investment in environmental hygiene, and
particularly if any family member suffers from allergies or
asthma. The operation of the HVAC system should be
verified by the seller and also checked (weather permitting
for temperature) again on the day of closing.
It is recommended to have the heating and cooling system
serviced by an licensed contractor seasonally. Heat pumps
are not tested in extreme temperature conditions to avoid
damage to unit. This home is equiped with a A/C unit in the

of the inspection.
[Note] 4989.01: The plumbing in the home was inspected
The condition of waste and drain pipes is usually directly
related to their age. However, as significant portions of
drainpipes are concealed, your inspector can only infer their
condition by observing the draw at drains. Nonetheless,
blockages will occur in the life of any system, but blockages
in drainpipes, and particularly in main drainpipes.
Therefore, it is recommended that a video inspection of the
main sewer line be performed by a licensed qualified
contractor, and be used in your further inspection or repair
issues. The seller should also be asked if there have been
any problems relating to the entire plumbing and drainage
systems.
Because the main water shutoff are not operated during
inspections, we suggest verification of working condition be
made by the seller prior to close of escrow. Gas Appliances
on property. It is recommend that the that a Gas, LPG or
fuel supplier perform a "safety check" before taking
possession of the property. Water heaters, gas stoves, gas
fire places, gas clothes dryers (if applicable), and A/C
heaters are examples of such appliances that should be
checked by the gas supplier or by a licensed contractor
before the close of escrow.The supplier may use inspection
tools and/or methods not allowed by this inspection
company. Is is also recommended that a wrench, capable
of turning the main gas valve OFF in case of an emergency,
be located near the gas meter. Carbon Monoxide
detectors, it is recommended to install a (CO) Carbon
Monoxide detectors in appropriate areas with gas
appliances. In the interest of greater occupant safety,

consideration should be given to the installation of a carbon
monoxide detectors. Tests for gas leaks or pipe sizing are
not performed.

[C] 5120.05: Knockout seal(s) missing from panel.
Knockout seal is missing on bottom of electrical panel.
Recommend installing seal to prevent accidental
electrocution or insect entry. This is a safety hazard,
recommend a licensed electrician make necessary repair
as soon as possible. Noted at the rear of the home.
[Note] 5919.01: The electrical system of the home was
inspected and reported on with the enclosed information.
In the interests of safety, your inspector(s) will regard every
electrical deficiency and recommended upgrade as a latent
hazard that should be serviced as soon as possible, and
that the entire system be evaluated and certified as safe by
an electrician. While the inspector makes every effort to
find all areas of concern, some areas can go unnoticed.
Outlets were not removed and the inspection was only
visual. Any outlet not accessible (behind the refrigerator for
example) was not inspected or accessible. Therefore, is is
essential that any recommendations that your inspector(s)
may make for service or upgrades should be completed
before the close of escrow, because an electrician could
reveal additional deficiencies or recommend some upgrade
for which we disclaim any responsibility.
Recommend testing GFI(s) on a regular basis. Bonded gas
line. The electrical system has also been bonded to the gas
lines. Appears intact where visible.

[Note] 6889.01: The bathroom areas of the home was
Bathrooms are high-use areas containing many elements
subject to ongoing wear and periodic malfunction,
particularly fixtures and other elements associated with the
plumbing system. Water flow and drainage evaluations are
limited to a visual assessment of functional flow and
functional drainage. The function and water tightness of
fixture overflows or other internal fixture components
generally cannot be inspected. Anticipate the possibility of
leakage or other concerns developing with normal
usage/aging or as concealed conditions are discovered with
maintenance work or upon removal of carpeting, tile,
shower enclosures, etc. Normal usage cannot be simulated
during a standard home inspection. The water tightness of
all surfaces exposed to water must be maintained on a
regular basis by caulking, grouting, or other means to the
showers, tubs, toilets, cabinets and baseboards, etc., for
moisture protection. Showers and tub enclosures are high
leakage, high maintenance areas. Leaks in these area can
occur at any time. It is recommend to regularly monitor
these areas for leaks.
Due to the potential hazards associated with electric
components located in bathroom areas, any identified
concern should be addressed immediately. Ground-fault
Circuit-interrupters (GFCI's) are recommended for all
bathroom receptacles outlets.
It is recommended to clean the bathroom exhaust fan(s) on
a regular basis. Lint buildup could cause potential fire.

The following is a message regarding mold from the United

States Environmental Protection Agency.
Molds produce tiny spores to reproduce. Mold spores waft
through the indoor and outdoor air continually. When mold
spores land on a damp spot indoors, they may begin growing
and digesting whatever they are growing on in order to survive.
There are molds that can grow on wood, paper, carpet, and
foods. When excessive moisture or water accumulates indoors,
mold growth will often occur, particularly if the moisture problem
remains undiscovered or un-addressed. There is no practical
way to eliminate all mold and mold spores in the indoor
environment; the way to control indoor mold growth is to control
moisture.
http://www.epa.gov/mold/
The client is advised to consider all findings associated with

moisture, such as, but not limited to, stains, leaks, vapor barrier
defects, exhaust fan failures, etc., as conditions conducive to the
growth of molds and other fungi, whether direct information
regarding mold is provided by the inspector or not.
[C] 7450.02: Door weather-strip faulty.

Man door weather stripping is faulty. Recommend
replacing to prevent possible fire or exhaust gas from

Nice interior area in home. Nice Window blinds noted
throughout home.
[Note] 7965.01: The interior of the home was inspected

While the inspector makes every effort to find all areas of
concern, some areas can go unnoticed. The visual
inspection did not involve moving furniture, area rugs or
carpets, empty closets or cabinets, areas behind wall
coverings, pictures, beds or under appliances or the
evaluation of window treatments, or areas obstructed from
view. If furnishings or item mentioned above are present
during the inspection, it is recommend to carefully check all
areas on your walk through. The inspector(s) cannot
ascertain the conditions during a limited visual home
inspection.
Your inspector may not comment on cosmetic deficiencies
such as the cracks that appear around windows and doors,
or which follow the lines of framing members and the
seams of drywall and plasterboard. These cracks are a
consequence of, but not limited to, movement such as
common settling and wood shrinkage and will often
reappear if not repaired correctly. Such crack can be
disputed, and are therefore best evaluated by a specialist.
Similarly, there are a number of environmental pollutants
that can contaminate a home, such as asbestos, carbon
monoxide, radon gas, formaldehyde, urea-formaldehyde,
lead based paints, and a variety of molds and fungi that
require specialized testing equipment, which is beyond our
expertise and the scope of our service. Refer to appropriate
contractor(s) for an additional opinion(s) or corrections if
necessary before the close of escrow. There are lesser
contaminates, such as odors that are typically caused by
moisture penetrating concealed slabs, or those caused by
household pets, cigarette smoke that can permeate walls,
carpets, heating and air conditioning ducts, and other
porous surfaces, which can be difficult to eradicate.
However, inasmuch as the sense of smell adjusts rapidly,
and the sensitivity to such odors is not uniform, it is
recommended that you make this determination for yourself
and particularly if your or any member of your family suffers
from allergies or asthma, schedule whatever remedial
services may be deemed necessary before the close of
escrow.
Windows in sleeping rooms must meet certain requirements
for emergency egress.
It is recommended to test smoke alarm(s) on a monthly
basis and that the batteries are replaced once per year and
replacement of smoke detectors every 7 to 10 years. It is
also recommended for people moving into homes that don't

know the age of the detector should replace them. When

testing the smoke alarm(s), it is only testing the audio
components, be aware that the smoke alarm(s) may not
function correctly in the event of smoke and/or fire. The
existing smoke detector(s) were not tested today, but they
are only noted as to be present. Carbon Monoxide
detectors, it is recommended to install carbon monoxide
detectors for safety in appropriate areas in the home for
early leak detection of this potentially deadly gas for
structures with gas appliances for added safety.
It is recommended to clean the laundry room exhaust fan(s)
on a regular basis.
It is also recommended to clean the lint trap on the dryer
before or after each use. Failure to do so could result in a
potential fire. The dryer exhaust ducts should be cleaned
when moving into the home and on a regular basis as an
ongoing maintenance item. Full inspection of the garage
may be limited due to storage / vehicles, recommend to
check carefully on walk through if items in garage are
present.
Double pane window are present throughout this house.
Although we do our best to locate bad seals in the windows,
this is not always possible due to the varying temperature
and weather conditions We recommend review of the
windows again on the day of closing for evidence of
moisture between the panes of glass. Be advised due to
weather conditions, temperature, cleanliness of the
windows, etc, it is extremely difficult to tell if dual-pane
window seals are intact. Unfortunately, this is not always
apparent, which is why your inspector does disclaim an
evaluation of hermetic seals. Every effort was made to
examine each window for lost seals. Please view all the
windows again at different times of the day. Ceiling fan(s).
We do not fully evaluate all speeds of the fan(s) or any
variable brightness control for the light(s), only that they are
responding to the switch. If fan has a remote control device,
it must be present at the time of the inspection to test the
fan.

Our comments regarding the appliances are based on the
condition they are in on the day of the inspection. Of the
items tested, it is only a short, operational test and may not
reflect normal usage, the variety of their settings or cycles,
or the operability of the particular unit in the future. The
operation of all appliances should be verified by the seller
and also checked again on the day of closing. Portable
appliances or accessories such as washer, dryer,
refrigerator, microwave and ice makers are generally
excluded. Water purifier, instant hot water maker, built in
toaster, can openers, coffee makers and blenders are not
within the scope of this inspection. The inspection of the
cabinetry is limited to functional unit conditions based on a
representative sampling: finishes and hardware issues are
not included.
It is recommended to clean, wash or replace filter(s) in the
hood exhaust or overhead microwave oven. Filters are a
regular maintenance item. Most mechanical filters are
washable, and many can be cleaned in a dishwasher.
Vegetable sprayers and extendable faucets can form a
cross connection and should not be left in sinks or other
fixtures, this is a health concern. If your home has an
vegetable sprayer or an extendable faucet, you should not
leave the vegetable sprayer or extendable faucet in sinks or
other fixtures. Ground-fault Circuit-interrupters (GFCI's) are
recommended for all kitchen receptacles outlets.

columns; attached or firmly abutting decks, balconies, and
railings; ventilation techniques and applications of attic and
foundation; visible insulation and vapor retarders in unfinished
spaces; termination locations of kitchen, bathroom, and laundry
venting systems; and visible appliance flue and vent clearances
and related visible fire blocking.
The inspector did look for evidence of past or present leaks.

of the inspection.
[Note] 9909.01: The structure was inspected and reported
on with the enclosed information.
Due to typical design and accessibility constraints such as
insulation, storage, finished attic surfaces, roofing products,
etc., many elements and areas, including major structural
components, are often at least partially concealed from
view and cannot be inspected. Also, we do not move or
disturb any portion of the insulation, which may well obscure
water pipes, electrical conduits, junction boxes, exhaust
fans, and other components. A standard home inspection
does not include an evaluation of the adequacy of the roof
structure to support any loads, the thermal value or energy
efficiency of any insulation, the integrity of vapor retarders,
or the operation of thermostatically controlled fans. In
evaluating the type and amount of insulation on the attic
floor, we use only generic terms and approximate
measurements, and do not sample or test its composition
for a specific identification.
It is recommended that small cracks or voids in the concrete
foundation stem walls should be filled and the exposed
areas should be repainted.
Joints between dissimilar materials, such as stucco to wood,
stucco to metal flashings, stucco to window and door
frames, stucco weep screed and the concrete stem wall
etc., should be sealed and caulked for moisture and pest
protection.
Access impaired, due to the finished areas of floor ( floor
covering, etc.) in the property, we are unable to evaluate the
floor slab system. The inspector(s) cannot ascertain the
condition during a limited visual home inspection. There
may be concealed damage.
