  DISHWASHER:

  There were issues documented below in bulleted lists, narratives and/or pictures related to the dishwasher that should be addressed by a qualified appliance installation company, plumber, or other qualified party. 

  CONDITIONS:

  • ❌End of life. At 23 years old, the Dishwasher, while operational, has reached the end of its expected life. I recommend factoring replacement of the dishwasher in the near future by a qualified appliance installation company. Repairs to appliances of this age are not considered cost effective. I recommend verifying this age as it looks newer than this.

  AIR GAP:

  • ◽Johnson Tee not being used/abandoned. The dishwasher drain line should incorporate a proper air gap device. I has a Johnson Tee type that is not being used. The cap at the exterior adjacent to the dishwasher above the flood rim of the sink is a type of air gap device called a Johnson Tee. When the Johnson Tee is abandoned, buried traps can dry out and therefore it important that the device be properly abandoned to prevent sewer gases from entering the home. The drain connections under the dishwasher (or wherever it is located) should be properly capped and the cap at the exterior properly sealed (it likely is given the outdoor cap is still present).
  • ◽Johnson Tee exterior termination capped. Usually venting of these exterior caps can be achieved by drilling several small holes in the cap or installation of proper termination cap.

  HOT WATER TAP:

  There were issues documented below in bulleted lists, narratives and/or pictures related to the Hot Water Tap. It had the following conditions and may be past its expected life. I recommend factoring replacement of the unit.

  CONCERNS:

  • ❌End of life. The hot water tap is no doubt at the end of its expected life. Factoring replacement of this appliance is recommended as desired. There is typically no harm in using the unit until it fails but leaking is common and monitoring is advised.

  RANGE/COOKTOP:

  There were issues documented below in bulleted lists, narratives and/or pictures related to the cooktop:

  CONCERNS:

  • ❌End of life for cooktop. At 35 years old, the cooktop, while operational, has reached the end of its expected life. I recommend factoring replacement of the cooktop in the near future by a qualified appliance installation company. Repairs to appliances of this age are not considered cost effective.
  • ◽Burner knobs not legible

  VENT PIPE TERMINATION:

  • ◽Function of cap damper not determined
  • ◽🚩Terminates under south deck. Termination of vents under decks where they can't be maintained is not allowed. The termination cap should have a vent flap to protect against back drafting of cold air into the vent.

  I recommend evaluation and repair by a qualified party.

  CONCERNS:

  • ❌End of life. At 35 years old, the Wall Oven, while operational, has reached the end of its expected life. I recommend factoring replacement of the range in the near future by a qualified appliance installation company. Repairs to appliances of this age are not considered cost effective.
