Published Report

This is a 2018 custom home that is in above-average condition for age and type. This was a very clean inspection with just a few repairs and recommended maintenance items. The house has a unique northwest design with a fiber cement siding system and a standing seam metal roofing system. The only item that stood out was some small signs of potential moisture control problems around the base of the west chimney - see the white stains on the plywood. Please see the full report for specific details.

Electrical Summary Items

The following items have been taken from the complete inspection report to provide a concise list of electrical items found during the inspection.

Summary

Recommended Maintenance

  • ES-5 Electric Service:

    I was unable to find a disconnect for the spa. I expect these is one here but likely covered by vegetation. I recommend making this visible to the spa for safety. The disconnect should be within line of sight for safety.


Recommended Disclosure Items

  • ES-4 Electric Service:

    This home has a generator installed with an automatic transfer switch. Inspection and evaluation of generator power systems is beyond the scope of this inspection. I recommend disclosing any receipts, installer information or maintenance information about this system. I recommend keeping this nice unit on a routine service schedule. To prepare the home for the market, I recommend a servicing if it has not been done in the last year or two.

    ✒

    • During the inspection the generator happened to start for its periodic run cycle.
  • EDFW-4 Electric Distribution and Finish Wiring:

    This house has a smoke / heat detector system. Some of these can even be tied into a house security system. I do not test these systems. A critical part of the electric system tutorial is understanding this smoke detector system. Also, determine if these detectors also do carbon monoxide. This house was built prior to carbon monoxide alarm requirements.
