All inspections are performed in accordance with the Standards of Practice of the National Academy of Building Inspection Engineers (NABIE), a copy of which is available on request or at www.nabie.org. While we will report readily visible evidence of mold infestations, this inspection should not be considered a specific mold investigation of any kind.

You are encouraged to be at the inspection to discuss your questions and concerns. However, the written report is the exclusive source of information regarding our observations at the time of inspection and our professional opinion of the condition of the property. The results of the inspection will be provided in a written report prepared exclusively for your benefit. Reports are typically available within 2 business days following the inspection, unless prior arrangements are made. Some test results may take longer. All discussions that occur at the inspection are preliminary in nature and should not be the basis for any final decisions regarding this property. Further, owning any property involves some risk. No inspection can reveal everything that might be of interest or significance to you regarding this property.

STANDARD STRUCTURAL AND MECHANICAL INSPECTION: A limited visual inspection to identify opinions of significant deficiencies and/or repairs needed in the major systems (structural, heating, air conditioning, plumbing, electrical, roof, exterior) as well as provide a general understanding of the property. This is a limited inspection based on visible evidence readily available during the inspection (without moving furnishings, removing finishes, etc.) and is the opinion of the engineer performing the inspection. A normal home inspection does not include items such as: home stereo systems, central vacuum systems, pest control systems, intercoms, outdoor lighting, electric gates, fences, water softeners or any other item that is not a part of the home itself. If appropriate, we will coordinate an inspection of the security system at the home by a certified security systems specialist at no additional cost. The courtesy security systems check is only a basic system test of the zones and does not include actually making the system sound an alarm, set off smoke detectors and/or notify the system monitoring company.

MOLD EXCLUSION: This inspection is not for the specific purpose of determining the presence of organic substances in the building.

It is your responsibility to determine if further testing is required and to retain an independent, qualified professional to perform such tests.
