Inspection and supersede any alleged verbal comments. We inspect all of the systems, components, and conditions described in accordance with the standards of National Association of

This summary shall not contain recommendations for routine upkeep of a system or component to keep it in proper functioning condition or recommendations to upgrade or enhance the function or efficiency of the home. As used in the
Summary, "Repair or Replace" refers to a system or component that is not functioning as intended and is in need of Repair or Replacement; This Summary is not the entire report. Regardless, in recommending service we have fulfilled our contractual obligation as generalists, and therefore disclaim any further responsibility.

This report is the exclusive property of ArcStar Inspections LLC. and the client whose name appears herewith, and its use by any unauthorized persons is prohibited.
We evaluate the following exterior features: driveways, walkways, fences, gates, handrails, guardrails, yard walls, carports, patio covers, decks, building walls, fascia and trim, balconies, doors, windows, lights, and outlets. However, we do not evaluate any detached structures, such as storage sheds and stables, and we do not water test or evaluate subterranean drainage systems or any mechanical or remotely controlled components, such as driveway gates. Also, we do not evaluate landscape components, such as trees, shrubs, fountains, ponds, statuary, pottery, fire pits, patio fans, heat lamps, and decorative or low-voltage lighting. In addition, we do not comment on coatings 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.

Comments: Roof Inspect- General Maintenance Items
A section of roofing is improperly installed. At the rear of the home at the roof connection to the porch roof a shingle is raised and exposing its underside and other components to water runoff and damage.
The proper cut and proper flashing should be installed to divert water away from this area. A review and repair by a qualified roofing contractor is recommended.
The roofing on the right side of a dormer on the front of the home is covered in moss and fungus. Moss typically eats away at roofing materials and causing damage. This leaves the area vulnerable to further damage by water and other weather elements. The removal of moss and fungus and the repair of any damaged shingles is recommended.

The inspection of private onsite sewage (waste disposal) systems is not part of a standard home inspection. When provided as an ancillary service, the inspection of private sewage systems is limited to readily visible and accessible elements and system function as listed herein. Evaluation of the system is based primarily on a water flow test and conditions visually apparent at the ground surfaces and through holes dug in ground. Pre-inspection vacancy, limited use of the system, overgrowth at the drainage field, frozen ground conditions, soil conditions, and depth of system in ground and snow cover can severely restrict the ability to assess system operation. Detailed information on the private sewage system's condition, usage issues, prior problems, repairs, and maintenance needs is should and or be obtained from the homeowner and service company. Obtaining this documentation is the responsibility of the client. The client acknowledges that the inspection is of the condition of the septic system at the time of inspection and should not be construed to be an indication of the longevity of the septic system. The inspection is not and does not include a guarantee or warrantee of any kind. The future use that the system receives will have a direct bearing on how long the system will last. Proper use and maintenance will be essential to maximize the systems future potential longevity.

Based on the preliminary information you provided and the field inspection, the inspector found the onsite wastewater treatment system to be in a satisfactory condition on the date of the inspection.
A water flow test was performed. Water was run at maximum pressure in the second floor bathroom bath tub for 50 minutes in order to simulate heavy daily water flow. Effluent was observed entering and exiting the treatment tank at approximately the same rate. Water levels did not rise within the tank during flow test. Absorption field drained at an appropriate rate. All components were in good working condition at the time of inspection.
Recommendation: Keep absorption field clear cut and free of long growing grass and tree samplings.

The following items or discoveries represent a summary of the inspection items marked Repair-Replacement
Recommended or General Maintenance Item , indicating that these systems or components; (a) do not function as intended or (b) adversely affect the habitability of the dwelling or (c) appear to warrant further investigation by a specialist or
(d) require subsequent observation.
Bear in mind that all homes need repairs of one type or another, even if only minor.
Generally, older homes need more repairs. All safety concerns should be reviewed and repaired prior to occupancy. While every effort is made to identify existing and potential problems at the time of the inspection, it is not possible for a home inspector to foresee all problems that might arise in the future. We recommend that a budget is established for unforeseen repairs and maintenance.
