PURPOSE, LIMITATIONS AND INSPECTOR / CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES

This property inspection report may include an inspection agreement (contract), addenda, and other information related to
property conditions. If any item or comment is unclear, you should ask the inspector to clarify the findings. It is important that
you carefully read ALL of this information.
This inspection is subject to the rules (Rules) of the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC), which can be found at
www.trec.texas.gov.
The TREC Standards of Practice (Sections 535.227-535.233 of the Rules) are the minimum standards for inspections by TREClicensed inspectors. An inspection addresses only those components and conditions that are present, visible, and accessible at
the time of the inspection. While there may be other parts, components or systems present, only those items specifically noted
as being inspected were inspected. The inspector is NOT required to turn on decommissioned equipment, systems, utility
services or apply an open flame or light a pilot to operate any appliance. The inspector is NOT required to climb over
obstacles, move furnishings or stored items. The inspection report may address issues that are code-based or may refer to a
particular code; however, this is NOT a code compliance inspection and does NOT verify compliance with manufacturers
installation instructions. The inspection does NOT imply insurability or warrantability of the structure or its components.
Although some safety issues may be addressed in this report, this inspection is NOT a safety/code inspection, and the inspector
is NOT required to identify all potential hazards.
In this report, the inspector shall indicate, by checking the appropriate boxes on the form, whether each item was inspected, not
inspected, not present or deficient and explain the findings in the corresponding section in the body of the report form. The
inspector must check the Deficient (D) box if a condition exists that adversely and materially affects the performance of a
system or component or constitutes a hazard to life, limb or property as specified by the TREC Standards of Practice. General
deficiencies include inoperability, material distress, water penetration, damage, deterioration, missing components, and
unsuitable installation. Comments may be provided by the inspector whether or not an item is deemed deficient. The inspector
is not required to prioritize or emphasize the importance of one deficiency over another.
Some items reported may be considered life-safety upgrades to the property. For more information, refer to Texas Real Estate
Consumer Notice Concerning Recognized Hazards or Deficiencies below.
THIS PROPERTY INSPECTION IS NOT A TECHNICALLY EXHAUSTIVE INSPECTION OF THE STRUCTURE,
SYSTEMS OR COMPONENTS. The inspection may not reveal all deficiencies. A real estate inspection helps to reduce some
of the risk involved in purchasing a home, but it cannot eliminate these risks, nor can the inspection anticipate future events or
changes in performance due to changes in use or occupancy. It is recommended that you obtain as much information as is
available about this property, including any sellers disclosures, previous inspection reports, engineering reports,
building/remodeling permits, and reports performed for or by relocation companies, municipal inspection departments,
lenders, insurers, and appraisers. You should also attempt to determine whether repairs, renovation, remodeling, additions, or
other such activities have taken place at this property. It is not the inspectors responsibility to confirm that information
obtained from these sources is complete or accurate or that this inspection is consistent with the opinions expressed in previous
Promulgated by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) P.O. Box 12188, Austin, TX 78711-2188

or future reports.
ITEMS IDENTIFIED IN THE REPORT DO NOT OBLIGATE ANY PARTY TO MAKE REPAIRS OR TAKE OTHER
ACTIONS, NOR IS THE PURCHASER REQUIRED TO REQUEST THAT THE SELLER TAKE ANY ACTION. When a
deficiency is reported, it is the clients responsibility to obtain further evaluations and/or cost estimates from qualified service
professionals. Any such follow-up should take place prior to the expiration of any time limitations such as option periods.
Evaluations by qualified tradesmen may lead to the discovery of additional deficiencies which may involve additional repair
costs. Failure to address deficiencies or comments noted in this report may lead to further damage of the structure or systems
and add to the original repair costs. The inspector is not required to provide follow-up services to verify that proper repairs
have been made.
Property conditions change with time and use. For example, mechanical devices can fail at any time, plumbing gaskets and
seals may crack if the appliance or plumbing fixture is not used often, roof leaks can occur at any time regardless of the
apparent condition of the roof, and the performance of the structure and the systems may change due to changes in use or
occupancy, effects of weather, etc. These changes or repairs made to the structure after the inspection may render information
contained herein obsolete or invalid. This report is provided for the specific benefit of the client named above and is based on
observations at the time of the inspection. If you did not hire the inspector yourself, reliance on this report may provide
incomplete or outdated information. Repairs, professional opinions or additional inspection reports may affect the meaning of
the information in this report. It is recommended that you hire a licensed inspector to perform an inspection to meet your
specific needs and to provide you with current information concerning this property.
TEXAS REAL ESTATE CONSUMER NOTICE CONCERNING HAZARDS OR DEFICIENCIES
Each year, Texans sustain property damage and are injured by accidents in the home. While some accidents may not be
avoidable, many other accidents, injuries, and deaths may be avoided through the identification and repair of certain hazardous
conditions. Examples of such hazards include:
malfunctioning, improperly installed or missing ground fault circuit protection (GFCI) devices for electrical
receptacles in garages, bathroom, kitchens, and exterior areas;
malfunctioning arc fault protection (AFCI) devices;
ordinary glass in locations where modern construction techniques call for safety glass;
malfunctioning or lack of fire safety features such as, smoke alarms, fire-rated doors in certain locations, and
functional emergency escape and rescue openings in bedrooms;
malfunctioning carbon monoxide alarms;
excessive spacing between balusters on stairways and porches;
improperly installed appliances;
improperly installed or defective safety devices;
lack of electrical bonding and grounding; and
lack of bonding on gas piping, including corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST).
To ensure that consumers are informed of hazards such as these, the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) has adopted
Standards of Practice requiring licensed inspectors to report these conditions as Deficient when performing an inspection for
a buyer or seller, if they can be reasonably determined.
These conditions may not have violated building codes or common practices at the time of the construction of the home, or
they may have been grandfathered because they were present prior to the adoption of codes prohibiting such conditions.
While the TREC Standards of Practice do not require inspectors to perform a code compliance inspection, TREC considers the
potential for injury or property loss from the hazards addressed in the Standards of Practice to be significant enough to warrant
this notice.
Contract forms developed by TREC for use by its real estate licensees also inform the buyer of the right to have the home
inspected and can provide an option clause permitting the buyer to terminate the contract within a specified time. Neither the
Standards of Practice nor the TREC contract forms requires a seller to remedy conditions revealed by an inspection. The
decision to correct a hazard or any deficiency identified in an inspection report is left to the parties to the contract for the sale
or purchase of the home.

STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS

A. Foundations
Type of Foundation(s): Concrete Slab on grade
Comments:
Based on today's limited visual inspection, the foundation appears to be functioning as designed.
Performance Opinion: (An opinion on performance is mandatory)
Note: Weather conditions, drainage, leakage and other adverse factors are able to effect
structures, and differential movements are likely to occur. The inspectors opinion is based on
visual observations of accessible and unobstructed areas of the structure at the time of the
inspection. Future performance of the structure cannot be predicted or warranted.
The foundation appears to be performing the function intended
SUGGESTED FOUNDATION MAINTENANCE & CARE - Proper drainage and moisture
maintenance to all types of foundations due to the expansive nature of the area load bearing
soils. Drainage must be directed away from all sides of the foundation with grade slopes. In
most cases, floor coverings and/or stored articles prevent recognition of signs of settlement cracking in all but the most severe cases. It is important to note, this was not a structural
engineering survey nor was any specialized testing done of any sub-slab plumbing systems
during this limited visual inspection, as these are specialized processes requiring excavation.
In the event that structural movement is noted, client is advised to consult with a Structural
Engineer who can isolate and identify causes, and determine what corrective steps, if any,
should be considered to either correct and/or stop structural movement.

B. Grading and Drainage

Comments: Grade slopes towards foundation at the front and right side of the house.
Additional drainage should be considered for proper rainwater runoff,
Erosion was noted
Fill dirt should be placed in any low lying areas to ensure that any surface water flows away from
the foundation.
Note: Any area where the ground or grade does not slope away from the structure is to be
considered an area of improper drainage. Six inches per 10 feet.
