Introduction:
The following numbered and attached pages are your home inspection report. The
report includes pictures, information, and recommendations. This inspection was
performed in accordance with the current Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics of
InterNACHI (International Association of Certified Home Inspectors). The Standards
contain certain and very important limitations, expectations and exclusions to the
inspection. A copy is available upon request.
Scope:
A home inspection is intended to assist in evaluating the overall condition of the
dwelling. The inspection is based on observation of the visible, readily accessible and
apparent condition of the structure and its components on this day. The results of
this inspection are not intended to make any representation regarding the presence
or absence of concealed defects that are not reasonably ascertainable or readily
accessible in a competently performed inspection. No warranty, guarantee or
insurance by Rogue Inspection Services, LLC is expressed or implied. This report does
not include inspection for wood destroying insects, mold, lead or asbestos. A
representative sampling of the building components is viewed in areas that are
accessible at the time of the inspection. No destructive testing or dismantling of
components is performed. Not all defects will be identified during this inspection.
Unexpected repairs should be anticipated. The person conducting your inspection is
not a Structural Engineer or other professional whose license authorizes the
rendering of an opinion as to the structural integrity of a building or its other
component parts. You are advised to seek two professional opinions and acquire
estimates of repair as to any defects, comments, improvements or recommendations
mentioned in this report. Rogue Inspection Services, LLC recommends that the
professional making any repairs inspect the property further, in order to discover and
repair related problems that were not identified in the report. We recommend that all
repairs, corrections and cost estimates be completed and documented prior to
closing or purchasing the property. Feel free to hire other professionals to inspect the
property prior to closing, including Qualified HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, Engineering
and Roofing Contractors.
Use of photos:
Your report includes many photographs which help to clarify where the inspector
went, what was looked at, and the condition of a system or component at the time of
the inspection. Some of the pictures may be of deficiencies or problem areas, these
are to help you better understand what is documented in this report and may allow
you see areas or items that you normally would not see. A pictured issue does not
necessarily mean that the issue was limited to that area only, but may be a
representation of a condition that is in multiple places. Not all areas of deficiencies or
conditions will be supported with photos.
Inspected (IN) = I visually observed the item, component or unit and if no other
comments were made then it appeared to be functioning as intended allowing for
normal wear and tear.
Not Inspected (NI) = I did not inspect this item, component or unit and made no
representations of whether or not it was functioning as intended and will state a
reason for not inspecting.
Not Present (NP) = This item, component or unit is not in this home or building.
Deficiency (D) = The item, component or unit is not functioning as intended, or needs
further inspection by a qualified contractor. Items, components or units that can be
repaired to satisfactory condition may not need replacement.

OCCUPIED HOME
Homes that are occupied at the time of inspection may have conditions that change from the time of
inspection to the time of the closing. It would be wise for the prospective home owner to perform a walk
through inspection after the home has been vacated to determine if there are any conditions that may
have changed.

LEAKS UNPREDICTABLE
Roofs are designed to shed water like an umbrella and are not waterproof. In events of wind driven rains,
and periods of intense rain, water can sometimes blow into areas such as ridge vents, roof vents and
valleys and present leaking conditions. This occurrence is rare, but can possibly happen in severe storm
events. Unless it is raining at the time of inspection, some roof leaks may not be identified during the
inspection process.
Deficiencies
Moss was growing on the roof. Leaks can result and/or the roof
Rogue Inspection Services LLC Page 19 of 48
4291 Pioneer Rd Chris Chang
Moss was growing on the roof. Leaks can result and/or the roof
surface can fail prematurely. Efforts should be made to kill the moss
during its growing season (wet months). Typically, zinc or phosphate-
based chemicals are used for this and must be applied periodically.
Recommendation
Contact a qualified professional.

CRAWL SPACE LIMITATIONS
Structural components such as joists and beams, and other components such as piping, wiring and/or
ducting that are obscured by under-floor insulation are excluded from this inspection. The inspector does
not determine if support posts, columns, beams, joists, studs, trusses, etc. are of adequate size, spanning
or spacing. The inspector does not guarantee or warrant that water will not accumulate in the crawl spaces
in the future. Complete access to all crawl space areas during all seasons and during prolonged periods of
all types of weather conditions (e.g. heavy rain) would be needed to do so.The inspector attempts to locate
all crawl space access points and areas. Access points may be obscured or otherwise hidden by furnishings
or stored items. In such cases, the client should ask the property owner where all access points are that are
not described in this inspection, and have those areas inspected. Note that crawl space areas should be
checked at least annually for water intrusion, plumbing leaks and pest activity.

Many factors including preventive maintenance, consistency of use, and load demand can play a large factor in
the life expectancy of a heating system. Towards the end of a units life, expect to have increased energy usage
and maintenance cost.

Limitations
General
HVAC LIMITATIONS
The following items are not included in this inspection: humidifiers, dehumidifiers, electronic air filters;
solar, coal or wood-fired heat systems; thermostat or temperature control accuracy and timed functions;
heating components concealed within the building structure or in inaccessible areas; underground utilities
and systems; safety devices and controls (due to automatic operation). Any comments made regarding
these items are as a courtesy only. Note that the inspector does not provide an estimate of remaining life
on heating or cooling system components, does not determine if heating or cooling systems are
appropriately sized, does not test coolant pressure, or perform any evaluations that require a pilot light to
be lit, a shut-off valve to be operated, a circuit breaker to be turned "on" or a serviceman's or oil emergency
switch to be operated. It is beyond the scope of this inspection to determine if furnace heat exchangers are
intact and free of leaks. Condensation pans and drain lines may clog or leak at any time and should be
monitored while in operation in the future. Where buildings contain furnishings or stored items, the
inspector may not be able to verify that a heat source is present in all "liveable" rooms (e.g. bedrooms,
kitchens and living/dining rooms).
